I'm trying to get LHA working on RPi. When I try to view the contents of an
LHA archive I get the following:

LHA: Error: -f no such file or directory

In the archivers section of the config I've got the default unpack command:

lha -e -f "-W%3" "%1" "%2"

Does anyone have LHA working on the RPi? Does the unpack command need to be modified?

Try this:

Thanks, I made a typo so I've now got as you wrote. I restarted MIS but now
I'm getting ' Unable to view archive. ' error :/

Why he used lha instead of zip I don't know.

Are you trying to access lha archives from the Amiga version?

If the lhasa package isn't working, then you might have to compile it
from source. (Check your inbound, as I just put it there). #-)

Yeah I think it's from an Amiga.

I had a look at lha on the command line and instead of 'lha -e -f' it should
be 'lha -ef' so I modified the command in the archive editor and for some reason i'm still getting the LHA Error: -f No such file or directory. It doesn't seem to be picking up the modified unpack command.

Maybe it's a bug in Mystic?

I would try removing the - from the above (all three of them) and try that.

It's been a long time since I used lha on the command line, so I'm not sure but it might work.

My system caters for mainly amiga's, and lha is working there (Debian
Linux 9.x 32bit), with the only issue being viewing txt files in sub
dir's.

Maybe it's a bug in Mystic?

Try using the flags from the command line and see what happens.

As was pointed out the W needs to be lowercase:
SYNOPSIS
lha [-]{lvtxe[q{num}][finv]}[w=<dir>] archive_file [file...]
so it should be "-w=%3" (Note the w=dir). The error is the working directory doesn't exist. %3 will point to one of the temp directories under mystic used for such things. I don't seem to have an example file right now, but in checking it needs the equal added to it.

I just checked my AlphaTest which has some Amiga files and the Unpack Cmd
there is: lha -e -f "-w=/mystic/temp1" "%1" "%2"
and it's working to view Amiga LHA files from Fred Fish disks. Seems to be a path issue with A39 so /mystic/temp1 forces it to use temp1 area to unpack to. That's with x64 setup not RPi's x32, but that shouldn't matter. Seems like some path issues are creeping in with A39. I noticed a few other places.

Hi,

I'm still having issues with LHA. I'm getting the following error:

' LHA Error: -f No such file or directory '

I've tried the following;

lha -e -f "-w=%3" "%1" "%2"
lha -ef "-w=%3" "%1" "%2"
lha -e "-w=%3" "%1" "%2"

lha -e -f "-w=/mystic/temp1" "%1" "%2"
lha -ef "-w=/mystic/temp1" "%1" "%2"
lha -e "-w=/mystic/temp1" "%1" "%2"

I restart mis after each change. I still get the same error each time.

Not sure what's going on :/

I'm trying to view a LHA compressed nodelist in a filebase for AmigaNet.

I don't see anything in the logs. When I hit view to open the archive then
hit enter to view the file I get the following error;

LHA Error: -f no such file or directory

I've tried several different commands in the configurator but nothing works. Always get the same error...

I've tried;

lha -e -f "-w=%3" "%1" "%2"
lha -ef "-w=%3" "%1" "%2"
lha -e "-w=%3" "%1" "%2"
lha -e -f "-w=/extdrive/mystic/temp1" "%1" "%2"
lha -ef "-w=/extdrive/mystic/temp1" "%1" "%2"
lha -e "-w=/extdrive/mystic/temp1" "%1" "%2"

Ok I got it sorted.... I couldn't understand why I was getting the same error even though I had changed the command under LHA.... except for some reason it was using the command under the LZH settings.... still the commands needed tweaking for...

Lhasa v0.3.1 command line LHA tool - Copyright (c) 2011,2012 Simon Howard

The command to extract/view is;

lha -ew="%3" "%1"

I'm not going to bother with the pack command as I don't think I'll ever need to compress a file with LHA/LZH.

I added in the -f to force overwrite too so it's

lha -efw="%3" "%1"

I'm trying to view a LHA compressed nodelist in a filebase for AmigaNet.

Mystic has built in archive viewing for LHA/LZH. If you are using the (V)iew option in a file listing, it is not using an archive utility so the command line means nothing.

I don't see anything in the logs. When I hit view to open the archive
then hit enter to view the file I get the following error;

LHA Error: -f no such file or directory

Are you using Mystic? Assuming its a valid LHA file Mystic does not execute anything external.

Well this still brings a good topic of conversation up. If there is a
default configuration that needs to be updated for LHA in Raspberry Pi or something, I would say that is worth discussing!

I'd like to give good default settings wherever I can so people won't have to run into issues. I am also interested in why Mystic would even be calling
the archive anyway, given it should be using its internal archive browser
with LHA, LZH, ZIP, and RAR files.
