Description

Version: 1.0.8.

UnTGZ plugin is similar to ExtractDLL and ZipDLL plugins, except it allows one to extract the files from a tarball (*.tgz/*.tar.gz)

Original may be found at http://www.darklogic.org/win32/nsis/plugins/.
For problems, corrections, etc. send email to jeremyd --at-- fdos.org

Usage

untgz::extract [-j] [-d basedir] tarball.tgz
extracts files from tarball.tgz
if -j is specified then ignore paths in tarball (junkpaths)
if -d is specified will extract relative to basedir
untgz::extractV [-j] [-d basedir] tarball.tgz [-i {iList}] [-x {xList}] --
extracts files from tarball.tgz
if -j is specified then ignore paths in tarball (junkpaths)
if -d is specified will extract relative to basedir
if -i is specified will only extract files whose filename matches
if -x is specified will NOT extract files whose filename matches
the -- is required and marks the end of the file lists
untgz::extractFile [-d basedir] tarball.tgz file
extracts just the file specified
path information is ignored, implictly -j is specified (may also be explicit)

Example usage

This is a snippet from AbiWord's NSIS2 script:

	doDictInst:
		; Unzip dictionary into dictionary subdirectory
		untgz::extract "-j" "-d" "$INSTDIR\dictionary" "$TEMP\${DICT_FILENAME}"
 
		; Delete temporary files
		Delete "$TEMP\${DICT_FILENAME}"
 
	Finish:

Notes

Currently tested with NSIS 2.0x

Based on ExDLL/ExDLL.h and Zlib's untgz, all dependencies included, simply extract to your contrib directory and build with MSVC 6 (or later) or copy included untgz.dll to the plugins subdirectory of your NSIS installation. Some parts (such as extraction with paths) not as well tested. See included README.TXT for more details.

Note: the 1.0.7 version may be preferred as 1.0.8 was a somewhat major change, which while tested, some issues may still exist that I haven't seen; please test (see also Plugin Tester) your tarballs with it and report to me should any problems occur. Thanks.
