makeself使用

makeself是一个小型shell脚本，他可以吧特定目录下的文件打包成为一个shell脚本类似的文件，并且能够像shell脚本一样执行。例如我在test目录下创建了多个shell脚本和一些配置文件，这些脚本在执行时可能会相互调用并读取配置文件。使用makeself工具可以将这些文件统一打包成一个脚本并执行，非常的方便。

makeself使用方法：

1、首先makeself：http://megastep.org/makeself/makeself.run

2、下载完成后会得到makeself.run，文件，直接运行后会得到makeself.sh（可以将该文件拷贝到/usr/bin目录下）

3、makeself.sh [args] archive_dir file_name label startup_script [script_args]：例如makeself.sh test test.sh "hello" ./1.sh

    改命令指明需要打包的目录为test目录，打包成的文件命名为test.sh，脚本运行后输出信息为“hello”，首先执行的脚本十1.sh

    以下是一些常用的参数，可以作为参考：

• args are optional options for Makeself. The available ones are :
  • --version : Prints the version number on stdout, then exits immediately
  • --gzip : Use gzip for compression (is the default on platforms on which gzip is commonly available, like Linux)
  • --bzip2 : Use bzip2 instead of gzip for better compression. The bzip2 command must be available in the command path. I recommend that you set the prefix to something like '.bz2.run' for the archive, so that potential users know that they'll need bzip2 to extract it.
  • --compress : Use the UNIX "compress" command to compress the data. This should be the default on all platforms that don't have gzip available.
  • --nocomp : Do not use any compression for the archive, which will then be an uncompressed TAR.
  • --notemp : The generated archive will not extract the files to a temporary directory, but in a new directory created in the current directory. This is better to distribute software packages that may extract and compile by themselves (i.e. launch the compilation through the embedded script).
  • --current : Files will be extracted to the current directory, instead of in a subdirectory. This option implies --notemp above.
  • --follow : Follow the symbolic links inside of the archive directory, i.e. store the files that are being pointed to instead of the links themselves.
  • --append (new in 2.1.x): Append data to an existing archive, instead of creating a new one. In this mode, the settings from the original archive are reused (compression type, label, embedded script), and thus don't need to be specified again on the command line.
  • --header : Makeself 2.0 uses a separate file to store the header stub, called "makeself-header.sh". By default, it is assumed that it is stored in the same location as makeself.sh. This option can be used to specify its actual location if it is stored someplace else.
  • --copy : Upon extraction, the archive will first extract itself to a temporary directory. The main application of this is to allow self-contained installers stored in a Makeself archive on a CD, when the installer program will later need to unmount the CD and allow a new one to be inserted. This prevents "Filesystem busy" errors for installers that span multiple CDs.
  • --nox11 : Disable the automatic spawning of a new terminal in X11.
  • --nowait : When executed from a new X11 terminal, disable the user prompt at the end of the script execution.
  • --nomd5 and --nocrc : Disable the creation of a MD5 / CRC checksum for the archive. This speeds up the extraction process if integrity checking is not necessary.
  • --lsm file : Provide and LSM file to makeself, that will be embedded in the generated archive. LSM files are describing a software package in a way that is easily parseable. The LSM entry can then be later retrieved using the '-lsm' argument to the archive. An exemple of a LSM file is provided with Makeself.
• archive_dir is the name of the directory that contains the files to be archived
• file_name is the name of the archive to be created
• label is an arbitrary text string describing the package. It will be displayed while extracting the files.
• startup_script is the command to be executed from within the directory of extracted files. Thus, if you wish to execute a program contain in this directory, you must prefix your command with "./". For example, ./program will be fine. The script_args are additionnal arguments for this command.
