Hi all,

Is there by any chance a way of building OSX application bundles from the command line - I'm guessing no & patches are welcome ;)

Thanks,
Reinier

Mmm, I realize I could adapt some scripts from the OSX wiki pages, but having it incorporated into lazbuild would be nice ;)

There is an example in
components/macfiles/examples/createmacapplication.lpi

Here is a shell script i've written for my 3D world editor:

http://runtimelegend.com/rep/rtworld/artifact/86a5ad373309b3f56d79b1252be705b8e6c0b4a8

It does a full release build: builds the project's Release configuration, creates the app bundle, creates directories for a clean distribution, copies the files, removes any annoying .DS_Store files and creates a ready to use DMG from the folder's contents.

Thanks, guys!

Hi

The Makefile of UltraStar Deluxe has the creation of the OSX application bundles including adjustments of dylibs. Check the targets macosx-app and macosx-standalone-app

Link: http://sourceforge.net/p/ultrastardx/svn/HEAD/tree/trunk/Makefile.in

Maybe the creation of the disk image is also helpful. target macosx-dmg

Well, it seems lazbuild itself already builds application bundles. No idea if you first need to have clicked on create application bundle in project options but it works.

My version of an application bundle/.dmg creation script can be found at https://bitbucket.org/reiniero/smalltools/src/
directory BankConvert,
banco_OSX_bundle_dmg_creation_make-mac-dist.sh

Catchy name, eh ;)

The only thing it adds over Kostas' version is a link to the Applications directory inside the dmg so the user can drag and drop the application bundle on the link to install more easily.

Thanks,
Reinier
