Title: Sfx archive demo
Post by: Vortex on December 13, 2004, 08:37:45 PM

Hi friends,

Here is a tiny SFX archive demo using Jeremy Collake's compression library.

The stages of building the SFX archive:

Code: [Select]


jcalg1_test c9  Sample.exe Sample.jc ; compress the executable to be embedded to the SFX archive
bin2o Sample.jc Sample.obj _pData    ; convert the archive ( binary code ) to COFF object file
pocc wcrt0.asm                           ; Assemble the tiny C run-time startup module
pocc /Ze Sfxdemo.c                       ; Compile the main SFX module
polink /SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS /OUT:Sfxdemo.exe wcrt0.obj Sfxdemo.obj jcalg1_d_fast.obj Sample.obj kernel32.lib user32.lib    
                                          ; Link all the object files + the decompression routine to create the final executable


Important notice, you need Polink V2.90.11 to build the project:

You need to run povars32.bat before building the project. Run the executable Sfxdemo.exe and it will extract the file test.exe

The compression library JCALG1 is available from:

Bin2o.exe    : f0dder's binary to MS COFF object file converter
       The tool available from:
