Hi!

We do indeed have a classic package structure you could follow.

I tried to find a howto about that, but only found related stuff.

https://home.mnet-online.de/willybilly/HTMLhelp-110/en/hhstndrd/util/pkginfo.htm

but that is not what I mean.

Here is a bit of text about the LSM metadata files:

https://sourceforge.net/p/freedos/mailman/message/59166061/

Here is my interpretation of the ZIP file structure:

APPINFO/YOURAPP.LSM contains metadata about your app.

BIN/YOURAPP.EXE is your app itself (at most a few files)

DOC/YOURAPP/ contains readme.txt, todo.txt, license.txt and similar

SOURCE/YOURAPP/ contains all the source code files you used :-)

Optional for large, complex apps:

BIN/YOURAPP/ can contain additional files not needed in BIN/

Optional, if your app supports multiple languages:

HELP/YOURAPP.EN is short English help etc.

NLS/YOURAPP.ES are Spanish messages used by your app etc.

We may have a wiki item about the structure, but I fail to find it.

Cheers, Eric


Hello, friends!

I am trying to generate a package .ZIP from a directory with various files and I'll go to put in the repository of the FreeDOS 1.4. It's the compile DJGPP associate to the GNU Cobol compiler, a COBOL to the FreeDOS. How should I proceed in this case?
