-Hi All,
-
-So, here is a short description on how I got installation package on mac osx.
-
-1. Build package.
-2. Copy package and related files to the following directory structure:
-
-./Package_Root/Applications/MyApp.app/Contents/Info.plist
-./Package_Root/Applications/MyApp.app/Contents/MacOS
-./Package_Root/Applications/MyApp.app/Contents/MacOS/MyAppExec
-./Package_Root/Applications/MyApp.app/Contents/PkgInfo
-./Package_Root/Applications/MyApp.app/Contents/Resources/MyAppIcon.icns
-./Package_Root/Applications/MyApp.app/Contents/Resources/MyAppResources.rsrc
-./Package_Root/usr/share/somedata
-./Package_Root/usr/bin/some_utility
-./Resources/License.txt
-./Resources/ReadMe.txt
-./Resources/Welcome.txt
-
-The file PkgInfo contains "APPL????" The file Info.plist contains
-package instructions. I would suggest looking at Info.plist.in in
-wxWindows and modify it by putting your info in. MyAppIcon.icns is an
-icon created by IconComposer in /Developmer/Applications.
-MyAppResources.rsrc is a compiled resources file. I used the one from
-wxWindows and it seems to be working fine. Some mac person could
-explain this. Make sure that Info.plist contains:
-
- <key>CFBundleIconFile</key>
- <string>MyAppIcon.icns</string>
-
-This will tell it which icon to use.
-
-The ./Package_Root/usr/share/somedata and
-./Package_Root/usr/bin/some_utility are some extra data that your
-application is using. For example they can be a command line version
-of the application and some common files.
-
-The ./Resources directory contains resources used during
-installation. The names of files describe what should go in. They can
-be rtf, txt...
-
-3. Create package using PackageMaker.
-
-Fire up PackageMaker from /Developmer/Applications. Fill all the
-entries. Most of them are straight forward. Package root is
-./Package_Root. Resources directory is ./Resources. If your
-application needs to write to /usr (or to some other place beside
-/Applications, then make sure to enable authentication. After you fill
-all the entries, create package. This will create a directory on your
-disk containing a whole lot of junk. Now you need to package this
-directory.
-
-4. Create a disk image.
-
-Run Disk Copy from /Applications/Utilities. The easiest way of
-creating disk image is to first create empty folder, copy all the
-files in and then tell Disk Copy to create disk image from folder. So,
-create folder MyApp, copy in MyApp.pkg and create package.
-
-Now you are done. This will create one file, which you can copy around.
-
-So, what is missing is how to make application icon show in the
-finder. I can make it show when running application, but not when I am
-looking at application. Even if I ask for preview.
-
-I guess somebody else will have to answer this.
-
-Good luck.
-
- Andy
