v2.3 makeSea for Node.JS+ 25.5.0

The steps to make a SEApp is evolving and been further streamlined in Node.JS v25.5.0. Now, only Node.js executable itself is needed, using the new --build-sea commandline line option. I.e., blobs and postject are no longer needed. Thus, this makeSea may soon be retired, while remaining as a SEApp code example for bundling assets.

Accompanying makeSea.exe and node.zip should replace the old ones in repo.

v2.2.2 makeSea (Self-contained)

Utility to make a SEApp (Node.JS Single Executable Application) with little fuss.

• Auto-generates SEA config and rest of process flow to generate the .EXE.

Just run: node makeSea.js yourApp.js to generate yourApp.exe.

• If you've assets to bundle, run: node makeSea.js -i yourAsset1.txt -i yourAsset2.zip yourApp.js
• See README for details.

This version:

• Upgrade to Node.JS 22.6.0.1+.
• Assets need not be in working directory; can specify path to asset elsewhere.
• Embeds npm, postject and node executable for SEApp. They will self-extract if not found in working folder.
  • As makeSea.exe is now too big for Git, it is attached here instead in a ZIP archive.

makeSEA as a SEApp (download link). It still needs (these node modules which can't be bundled within):

• npm
• postject
