The resulting file appears as a shell +script (many of those have a .run suffix), and can be launched as is. The +archive will then uncompress itself to a temporary directory and an optional +arbitrary command will be executed (for example an installation script). +This is pretty similar to archives generated with WinZip Self-Extractor in +the Windows world. Makeself archives also include checksums for integrity +self-validation (CRC and/or MD5 checksums). |
