Hi,
I have seen a few Linux application that have standalone executables
that are installation programs. Once run, it installs the application
in the appropriate directory location, can run as root or normal user
and creates a desktop and Application menu icon. Similar to Windows's
setup.exe
Hi,
that works the same as in Windows and can probably be done with every
executable format. Simply append the data to the end of the file and store the
offset or length of that data at the end. All you have to do then is to let
the program open itself (ParamStr(0)), seek to the end -

Hello Graeme,
I did this on Windows in Delphi, but the principle is pretty

I think if digital signing is required, using Windows Resources would be the
better way. Now that I think about it, with FPC 2.4 that should even be
possible on Linux (and other platforms). Many roads lead to rome :D

That's not how it's been done in Linux (and unix).
In linux you have files that starts as bash (or any other format) and tools
that adds after the script the binary information to extract it.
I believe the tool is called 'makeself', but I don't like

Interesting, I never thought of trying that, or that that would work.
I'll try and create proof of concept tonight to see how it

This works at least in Windows, in fact I'm using it in a self
contained EXE/Data
It took me a couple years to take that plunge (of course a couple years
ago Lazarus was not as robust as it is today) but I will never go back!
Lazarus does have the distinct disadvantage that it's cumbersome to work
on multiple projects at once. Especially, e.g., if I want to test some

separate editor rather than opening another group of lazarus windows or
closing the big project I'm working on.
