ascli package relocability

[snps-djigande]

Hi,
I could use ascli to upload and download.
One limitation of ascli is that the package is full of harcoded path.
Even .so files contains hard coded path making ascli not relocatable meaning I can not move the complete package somewhere else and use it.

Would it be possible to make ascli relocatable meaning: be able to move the built package somewhere and use it from there?

I heard about using rubyc to create an executable out of the ascli package. Would you please write all the steps in details needed to:

1. get rubyc,
2. get ascli/gems,ruby
3. create an executable from the ascli package

Thanks

Kola

Hi Laurent,

I installed tebako and want to use it to create an aspera cli executable out of my rvm, ruby ascli installation in $HOME/.rvm.
I do have the following questions:

How does a minimal entry-point I can use for the -entry-point option look like?
What is the value for 'project-root-folder' given my rvm, ruby and tebako dinstallation struture is:

.rvm/gems/ruby-3.0.7/bin/tebako?

Is running on Ubuntu 20 mandatory?

I tried:
$HOME/.rvm/gems/ruby-3.0.7/bin/tebako press -r $HOME/.rvm --entry-point start.rb (new file) and got the following error

Now I recommend using tebako to create single exec.

here an example generated:

I'll remove rubyc and use tebako from now.

Generated with:

podman run -it --rm -v $PWD:/mnt/w ghcr.io/tamatebako/tebako-ubuntu-20.04:0.8.6 tebako press --root=/mnt/w --entry-point=ascli --output=/mnt/w/ascli.exe --Ruby=3.2.4 --patchelf

Ruby >=3.1 might address this issue. To be verified.
