Building from source fails due to weird subfolder names about notion-linux HOT 6 CLOSED

I haven't experienced this so I'm not sure what's going wrong. Can you tell me a bit about your system, e.g. are you using Ubuntu or a more obscure Linux distribution? Also, which parts of the Bash script did you change to get it working?

from notion-linux.

I'm on Ubuntu 16.04.

I renamed the subfolders of notion-deb-builder/build/notion to the following structure.

Then I changed the bash script to point to these folders while extracting.

I also had to stop the extraction of the notion executable as that had the funky named folders.

I believe this may be caused by an old version of 7zip - mine is version 16.02, while yours is version 9.20 which I can see is the latest in the Ubuntu 16.04 repositories. The extracted .exe folder structure is expected to look like this:

% tree build/notion     
build/notion
├── $PLUGINSDIR
│   ├── SpiderBanner.dll
│   ├── StdUtils.dll
│   ├── System.dll
│   ├── WinShell.dll
│   ├── app-64.7z
│   ├── nsExec.dll
│   ├── nsProcess.dll
│   └── nsis7z.dll
└── Uninstall\ Notion.exe

1 directory, 9 files

A newer version of p7zip-full is not available in the xenial-backports repository, however you could try manually downloading and installing the deb from Ubuntu 20.04 - let me know if that works!

I have updated the README to reflect that p7zip version 9.20 does not seem to work with the script.

Sure! I'll try it out sometime this weekend. Thanks a ton!

Closing as this is now documented in the readme; please let me know if this is still an issue with the latest p7zip
