Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers prepare a tar package Post 302705377 by DGPickett on Monday 24th of September 2012 04:50:11 PM

Well, 'ldd -rsv' will tell you every library used by an executable, and 'strace' can tell you every file a running app opens (very educational). Usually, libraries go in a 'lib' dir and that dir is in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and executables, script or compiled, go in a 'bin' dir that is in the $PATH variable. Throwing everything in /bin and /lib is a bad practice. Directories /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/lib are popular, but it is ok to keep every app separate. If you create the desired relative path on the tar end, it will create the relative directories wherever untarred. You can write and include a little script to move them from the untar directory, if that feels more comfortable.

Packaging like an rpm is a bit past me, and I prefer simple archives. Compression is nice, too. New tar has that, or you can use zip, or gzip the tar (.tar.gz or .tgz).

lint

lint(1B)                                             SunOS/BSD Compatibility Package Commands                                             lint(1B)

NAME

       lint - C program verifier

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/ucb/lint [options]

DESCRIPTION

       /usr/ucb/lint  is  the  interface  to  the  BSD  Compatibility  Package  C  program  verifier.   It  is  a  script  that looks for the link
       /usr/ccs/bin/ucblint to the C program verifier. /usr/ccs/bin/ucblint is available only with the SPROcc package, whose default  location  is
       /opt/SUNWspro.  /usr/ucb/lint  is  identical to /usr/ccs/bin/ucblint, except that BSD headers are used and BSD  libraries are linked before
       base libraries.  The /opt/SUNWspro/man/man1/lint.1 man page is available only with the SPROcc package.

OPTIONS

       /usr/ucb/lint accepts the same options as /usr/ccs/bin/ucblint, with the following exceptions:

       -Idir           Search dir for included files whose names do not begin with a slash (/) prior  to  searching  the  usual  directories.  The
                       directories for multiple -I options are searched in the order specified. The preprocessor first searches for #include files
                       in the directory containing sourcefile, and then in directories named with -I options (if any), then  /usr/ucbinclude,  and
                       finally, in /usr/include.

       -Ldir           Add  dir  to  the  list  of  directories  searched  for  libraries  by  /usr/ccs/bin/ucblint.  This  option  is  passed  to
                       /usr/ccs/bin/ld. Directories specified with this option are searched before /usr/ucblib and /usr/lib.

       -Y P, dir       Change the default directory used for finding libraries.

EXIT STATUS

       The following exit values are returned:

       0               Successful completion.

       >0              An error occurred.

FILES

       /usr/lint/bin/ld        link editor

       /usr/lib/libc           C library

       /usr/ucbinclude         BSD Compatibility directory for header files

       /usr/ucblib             BSD Compatibility directory for libraries

       /usr/ucblib/libucb      BSD Compatibility C library

       /usr/lib/libsocket      library containing socket routines

       /usr/lib/libnsl         library containing network functions

       /usr/lib/libelf         library containing routines to process ELF object files

       /usr/lib/libaio         library containing asynchronous I/O routines
