I do remember modifying this section of the code while testing J7Z. It didn't behave as expected, due to an inconsistency in the P7Zip application. I think the "Self-Extracting Executable" option was creating a Windows GUI extractor in Linux, so I changed it to create a Linux CLI extractor instead.

Yes, I thought something was amiss in the packaging since I recall making an exe with q7z before. Turns out it's not (and I probably made a Linux binary instead with the exe extension).

Since this issue isn't related to the packaging of J7Z, it's better to contact me via the 'Feedback' links in its 'Help' menu.

Isn't the SFX creation supposed to produce an EXE?

J7Z can also adopt the system theme, even when run in Linux via Gnome/KDE/Xfce. More information about how to achieve this is available here: http://k7z.sourceforge.net/7Z/Doc/HTML/

Thanks for the feedback. I feel a bit privileged that a volunteer from the packaging police investigated my PKGBUILD! A "j7z-bin" package would be pointless, as there's no need to build from source. I've disabled the "apache-ant.sh" line, put quotes around all directory variables and removed cases of "|| return 1". I think I'll leave 'make' in the 'makedepends' array, just in case someone hasn't needed to install the "base-devel" group yet.

Shouldn't you just create a separate j7z-bin package? E: In addition the build fails with this line since you put 'apache-ant' as a make dependency only for the source version: source /etc/profile.d/apache-ant.sh || return 1 You don't need the "|| return 1" checks there since pacman 3.4 and dir variables ($srcdir and $pkgdir) should be defined with quotes (" -> "$srcdir", "$pkgdir"), by the way. E2: Heh, and 'make' is included in 'base-devel' - so you don't need that in the makedepends=() sections either.
