The unzip and tar commands are not in path with FreeBSD

Those commands are not in the path of file-roller. One solution would be to use $PATH. Another one is in attachment that also fixes the problem.

Comment on attachment 271612 [details] [review] Using unzip and tar from /usr/local/bin instead of the versions in /usr/bin This is not an elegant approach. Please change this to be based on $PATH, as you suggest. Another alternative would be to detect the path to unzip at ./configure time and use that. Please no hardcoding of OS-specific values like this...
Ryan's suggestion of detecting/configuring the path to unzip (and other tools) at .configure time is also reported in bug 133993, and I feel that fixing that properly would also fix this, as the FreeBSD port could be compiled with the proper .configure options and would work perfectly. Based on the above maybe this as duplicate of bug 133993, and should be marked as such.
I would like to use g_find_program_in_path to fix this, but it is marked as deprecated, does anyone know the reason?
bugzilla.gnome.org is being replaced by gitlab.gnome.org. We are closing all old bug reports and feature requests in GNOME Bugzilla which have not seen updates for a long time. If you still use file-roller and if you still see this bug / want this feature in a currently supported version of GNOME (currently that would be 3.38), then please feel free to report it at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/file-roller/-/issues/ Thank you for creating this report and we are sorry it could not be implemented (volunteer workforce and time is limited).
