How to Create a Multi-Call Linux Binary

[comtux]

Does anyone know how to create a Multi-Call Linux Binary (a bin file)
what i need to do is pack a dir and when you click on the packed file you created it exacutes a shell command.

i am guessing i could create an archive file with a special extension like
.pack and have a script ran when an archive file with that extension is click on.
Or create a option in the kde menu to run a shel command when a archive with the .pack extension is selected.

If anyone has any ideas let me know.
thanks.

I really don't know how to do this but I have a theory that might send you in the right direction. Ignore this if it makes no sense.

If you set up a shell script that
a unpacks to temp dir
b opens shell in said temp directory.
c have a command that packs it all back up with or without changes to arhieve from said shell.

Currently i have my own package manager that installs my *.wolfpkg packages what i am trying to do is basicly have it setup so when i click on one of my packges the package that is clicked extracts it self and runs the gui installer that is contained in the extracted dir.

I have tried useing the kde servicemenus.

Example 1
[Desktop Entry]
ServiceTypes=all/all
Actions=InstallWolfpkg

[Desktop Action InstallWolfpkg]
Name=Install
Icon=access
Exec=/bin/bash -c "tar --xvzf *"

And this didn't work.

I then tried asigning my package type to the tar -xvzf command and that didnt work eather.

I will continue to try to figure out the 2 options above but i thing there is a way to make a file type auto excutable at the kernel level.

Thanks for you reply Wildheart but that doesn't really help me out good try though.

Ok let define what a auto excutable binary is.
Something that is compiled that perfoms a function when triggerd.

Regardless of how you build an auto excutable there are external applications that are playing apart so you can perform a function that makes this auto exccutable what it is.

So what do we need to do.

First compile our program.
1. ./configure --prefix=/opt/build && make && make install

Second figure out what files /opt/build contain.
2. find * > found.txt

Third package up the src application we just compiled and installed to /opt/build.
3. tar -czvf example-1.0.tar.gz usr

Fourth make a gui installer
4. Im not going into this.

Fith make our wolfpkg
5. tar -czvf example-1.0.wolfpkg packages installer documents

Sixth make it auto excutable.
6. ..................................>
[Desktop Entry]
ServiceTypes=all/all
Actions=InstallWolfpkg

[Desktop Action InstallWolfpkg]
Name=Install
Icon=access
Exec=/bin/sh -c "tar xzf %U -C %d && %d/installer"

Now what should happen is you have your package when you right click and select Install under actions the .wolfpkg will be extracted and the gui installer is started.
