very small run file 'unexpected end of file'

[jedierikb]

(from a fresh pull on github...)

Trying to debug an issue with small .run files, I made a very small run file, with only a simple small setup.sh in there.

./makeself creates the .run file successfully.
Header is 498 lines long

However, when I try to run the resultant .run....

Mmh, I wonder if this may be related to the code that shows the progress of the extraction.

Had the same issue. Confirmed that specifying --noprogress allows everything to work smoothly.

Hi megastep! Had the same issue. Confirmd that specifying --quiet or --noprogress shows everything to work smoothly. More elegant way to solve this bug？

Does this only happen with very small archives ?

[ibroomcorn]

Thank you for your reply first£¡ Indeed this error happen with very small archives, but I don't know why!

I merged some patches lately that may have addressed this issue. Can you check with the current code?

Using latest code from repo, appears to still be an issue, but only when using --lsm option.

Is this still an issue?

makeself --noprogress --gzip --nomd5 --nocrc

yes ,when I am trying Makeself in Ubuntu 14.04. Same issue is got in other machine like ubuntu 12.04 its working properly only on 14.04 its gives the error .

[megastep]

Please check if this is still an issue in v2.5.0 - I made some fixes to this area of the code recently.

[alcuinus]

New user of makeself. Thank you for this project! However, I am sorry to say that the same error happens with v2.5.0. Linux mint 21. Trying long and short scripts, tried -noprogress --gzip --nomd5 --nocrc (or just the last two options) but the result is always:

gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file ... Decompression failed. ... Extraction failed. Signal caught, cleaning up

Thank you!
