I did find a hit here for source code, but not being a C programmer, I have no idea how to compile it other than:-

Code:

gcc -o shcomp shcomp.c

..... which gave a load of errors that I don't understand at all.

I've used shc but struggled with the limited portability of the object. Perhaps shcomp is an alternative with more portability, even if there is reduced obscurity. Can anyone suggest where we can get it to do some testing?

Thanks for the correction; it is part of the ksh93 distribution, but not a builtin.

There is a tar file of ksh93 at https://packages.debian.org/stable/shells/ksh , however I didn't try to comple it, I just looked it over. There is a tar file of Debian patches, some of which seem to relate to shcomp, but I just skimmed it, noting that file rules is a makefile that seems to make ksh93, including shcomp for the Debian environment.

As Scrutinizer noted in the other thread, there is not much obfuscation, but the topic of encryption of shell scripts has been talked about extensively, with the consensus that encryption is not viable because one needs the key to decrypt the encrypted source. Perhaps with shcomp some obfuscation is enough.

I did find a shell-to-perl converter, which can obscure the source for the non-perl-savvy, but that seems to be getting far afield.

There is a reference to ccsh at Compile ksh scripts into binaries - Toolbox for IT Groups to C++ Compilers From Comeau Computing Targeting ANSI/ISO C++ Standard / C and C++ Compiler for Multi-platform Needs , but I could not tell if they were still in business.

Best wishes ... cheers, drl
