Where are the .xzm files "unsquashfs"ed to?
Added in 5 minutes 21 seconds:
Need a -d parm for the destination. -d /tmp/bundle

why would it not work? for me it works when all conditions are met.(ok Porteus 5.0)

also works, but is more impractical, because in this form it has to be executed in the directory of the .xzm files
and as Ed_P already noted the target directory is not known.
You find it out of course, in this case under /tmp/bundle/squashfs-root.
So for me the 1st variant would be the better solution.

porteu
x apparently uses a different formula making it's modules or doesn't have the dependencies xzm2dir requires.

Thank you but how does it know to use the /tmp/bundle/ folder? The script, or command, would need to be execute in that folder. Adding a -d option is easier and more specific. imho

Try this:
Code: Select all
for a in /tmp/merge/*.xzm;do xzm2dir $a -o=/tmp/bundle;done
Explanation: to specify the output you need to use
-o=[PATH]. This has been discussed a couple of times in this forum. This was implemented this way to allow multiple files/folders to be converted/extracted in a single action.

Ah yes.
I remember encountering the
-o= problem myself on something. While a good option, having it default if omitted would be convenient.

It works. Thanks! We are waiting for Porteux 0.6: merge-and-create-xzm.desktop
