Think about those *.run files -they are self-extracting scripts. The payload is a tarball or zipped file or whatever. Inside the script you have marker or other method to skip over the first script part, starting from the marker or offset and procesing that with whatever. You can use 'sed', 'head', ...

No, I found commits still in 2016 here: https://github.com/ghaerr/microwindows And there's a fork/mirror for buildroot here: https://github.com/moovel/microwindows I already started last night picking out the changes made to gtk-1.2.7 by/for NanoGTK and creating clean patches. Then, I'll get those p...

I found a github repo for microwindows with commits up to 2016. While cloning that here, I found that I already had a microwindows folder with some other goodies, like NanoGTK. Before being abandoned, it was using gtk-1.2.7 and microwindows-0.99. It would be an interesting project to update it to gt...

Thanks for your kind comments. I also respect your accomplishments, knowing full well what it means to cross-compile and/or bootstrap a new architecture. I guess we've never communicated much, but I enjoy being able to 'cut to the chase' with you. src2pkg with chroot... From the start src2pkg was no...

Yes, pae is quite restrictive and so is -i686. Legacy hardware, 10-15 years old, is best served by kernel 2.4 or 2.6.26 at latest. i586 is a good arch -there really are no more 486's being used at all seriously. i586/PentiumI is a good compromise. One could argur for PenitumII as a minimum, but then...

LD_LIBRARY_PATH overrides -actually preceeds the normal path for libraries which ld-linux.so uses to start all dynamically-linked programs. Normally ld-linux.so looks first under paths specified in /etc/ld.so.conf. It then looks in the 'trusted' locations, that is, /lib and /usr/lib. By using LD_LIB...

AppImage was designed exactly after the Rox AppDir. During construction they look like rox apps. You have a single top dir with content in one or more subdirs. You have an icon file an AppInfo.xml and a *binary* AppRun instead of a script. Then, the whole thing gets packaged into an iso image with a...

You also need to understand the nuances of the tar version and options being used both to create and to unpack the packages. if you've ever wondered why slackware uses an ancient version of tar (1.13) it's precisely because it did/does something which newer versions of tar did not. Someone did at ta...

The wrapper sets up the environment for the main program. Most things that will run-from-anywhere need this in order to find what they need. Sometimes this means that everything it needs which is not on the system will be found in the same place as the real-executable -all under one directory. This ...
