No, I don't know if cross platform creation of a Windows self-extracting .exe |
| 16 |
is possible. I was hoping/assuming/researching that it was. |

The only documentation that I found other than the man page is installed |
| 25 |
under: |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
/usr/lib64/p7zip/help/cmdline/switches/sfx.htm |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
It mentions that "SFX modules for installers are included in an external |
| 30 |
package (7z_extra)", but haven't found it (or other sfx modules) on my system |
| 31 |
and the online 7z_extra is full of MSWindows files, but not these modules. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
Perhaps it is not doable from a Linux system, at least not without installing |
| 34 |
it first in a MSWindows VM to get the Windows modules out. I will try that |
| 35 |
next. |
