Here is an example, assuming the user has a package image stored in a /home/joe/mysoft,
|
|
and he wants to generate a self-extracting package named mysoft.sh, which will launch
|
|
the "setup" script initially stored in /home/joe/mysoft:
|
|
.TP
|
|
makeself.sh /home/joe/mysoft mysoft.sh "Joe's Nice Software Package" ./setup
|
|
.TP
|
|
Here is also how I created the makeself.run archive which contains the Makeself distribution:
|
|
.TP
|
|
makeself.sh --notemp makeself makeself.run "Makeself by Stephane Peter" echo "Makeself has extracted itself"
|
|
.SH "AUTHORS"

|
Makeself has been written by Stéphane Peter <megastep@megastep.org>.

|
|
Debian GNU/Linux distribution (but it may be used by others).
