Sample Binaries

This Windows executable automatically extracts and runs the game NetWalk.

Instructions

First a simple library has to be built. Type "make" to get Linux binaries. Type "make WIN32=1" (in bash) to get Windows binaries. A cross-compiler is needed for the Windows binaries.

The "pack" script does the prepending job in Linux, and "winpack" for windows. Suppose "foo.tar.bz2" is a bzipped tar archive (with no directory structure; not supported yet). Then type "pack foo.tar.bz2 program.exe" to produce a program called "setup.exe" that will extract foo.tar.bz2 to a temporary subdirectory (within /tmp in Linux, $TMP in Windows) and run the program "program.exe".

The temporary subdirectories are named "ltemp.XXX" where XXX is some integer.
