macOS installer packages have the .pkg extension which are xar archives, to extract them on Linux we need to download and compile xar from https://code.google.com/archive/p/xar/downloads.
Operating system: Linux Debian 9 / kernel 4.9.0-3-amd64
1. Install dependencies
apt-get install build-essential libxml2-dev libssl1.0-dev zlib1g-dev
2. Download and extract xar-1.5.2.tar.gz
wget https://storage.googleapis.com/google-code-archive-downloads/v2/code.google.com/xar/xar-1.5.2.tar.gztar -zxvf xar-1.5.2.tar.gz
3. Build and install
cd xar-1.5.2./configuremakemake install
4. Extract files with xar
xar -xvf package_installer.pkg
it does not work:
apt-get install build-essential libxml2-dev libssl1.0-dev zlib1g-dev
E: Unable to locate package libssl1.0-dev
What distribution?
Linux Mint 19.3
my error is ;
“make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.”
I couldn’t find any specific solution.
Hi Bruno and vokhirion,
Make sure that the ./configure is finishing successfully.
In case of an error, you must install the dependencies and retry the ./configure.
You have to use make and make install only after the ./configure was successfully.
