I am expecting “hello world”ħ-Zip SFX 16.02 : Copyright (c) 1999-2016 Igor Pavlov : When i ran this file i have following output. My config.txt is create a sfx, i use the following commandĬat 7zS2.sfx config.txt helloworld.7z > linuxtest Made a 7zip of this file using 7z a helloworld.7z helloworld I created a simple file helloworld with content echo “hello world”. During installation the 7zCon.sfx is installed at location /usr/libexec/p7zip. I have installed p7zip in centos machine. This is why I build my sfx-archives on Linux, not on Windows. If you’re building on Windows the command name will be 7z.exe.īy the way, did you know that 7zip sfx-archives will preserve file attributes ? (such as the exec bit in Linux/Unix). – source : path to what you want to compressĪn example might be: 7za a -sfx7zConWin32.sfx myarchive.7z.sfx /foo/bar
#Mac 7z command line archive#
– sfxname : file name of the archive you want to create sfx files you’ve harvested from various platforms. The way to create such an archive from the command line is the following:ħza a -sfx$ So, for example, you can create a self-extracting archive for Windows on Linux. Now you can build a 7zip self-extracting archive for any of the above platforms from a single platform, in this case Linux but could have been anything. It will be the same directory as where you find 7za (Unix/Linux) or 7z.exe (Windows). You need to put the above files into the same directory as where you can find 7zCon.sfx. I now have the following files, all on one host:ħzConWin32.sfx (you can use this for both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows) I’ve harvested this file from a number of platforms, renamed it so I could recognize the platform it came from, and then put it on my Linux host. This is the stub file for your local platform. If you look in the directory of your 7zip binaries you’ll find a file called 7zCon.sfx. The code at the beginning is called ‘a stub’ when it exists on its own.Ī stub file in 7zip has a ‘.sfx’ suffix. Thus a self-extracting archive is platform specific but the good news it doesn’t require the target platform to have 7zip installed.Ī self-extracting archive simply has some platform specific native code at the beginning and then the actual archive concatenated to it so it becomes one big file.
#Mac 7z command line how to#
This post is about self-extracting archives, meaning an archive that carries with it its own code for how to extract on the target platform. For example see Bundled JRE – Size Matters.īut forget about whether or not you can expect 7zip to be installed on the target platform or not. The reason to use 7zip in the first place is that its compression mechanism, LZMA, is far more effective at compressing than say Info-Zip.
#Mac 7z command line for mac os x#
Many, many users have it installed on Windows and it is available for Mac OS X as well. 7zip (or its unix/linux sibling p7zip) is today bundled with almost all Linux distros and Solaris. This post will explain how to create 7zip self-extracting archives for multiple platforms.
