I was making a self-extractable archive using makeself
and I'm able to generate and run it, but I need to run the install script as a sourced script.
I see an option to pass script arguments in the makeself
documentation:
makeself.sh [args] archive_dir file_name label startup_script [script_args]
But none of my arguments are being picked up with the following command:
makeself.sh ./test ./test.run "sample installer" ./install.sh
How can I tell makeself
to run install.sh as a sourced script?
I have found an alternate solution for the issue.
Instead of calling makeself
with install.sh as the startup_script
, I have added another script, launcher.sh, which will do it instead:
makeself.sh ./test ./test.run "sample installer" ./launcher.sh
Launcher.sh contents:
source ./install.sh
