I think I've figured this out, and will submit patches for this and
other changes I've made as soon as I figure out Bitbucket. (I'm more of
an SVN/Sourceforge veteran.) Thanks for the pointer.
I did have two other questions:
1. I can't figure out how to set the bundle-iconfile option for
bdist_mac--there are no samples in the source tree of how to do this. I
was able to manually copy over the icon file in my build script, so it's
not a big deal, but I'd like to use the API correctly. :-)
2. Looking at macdist.py in the source tree, I see that a default,
bare-bones info.plist file is created for the app bundle. Python
actually has a module for doing this, plistlib, which can take a dict
and write that data to an info.plist file. Again, it is no problem to
add this to my setup.py script as a final step, but it would be nice if
this were supported directly in cx_freeze. I actually tried to implement
it but couldn't figure out how to add the correct parameters in the
module. Here's a snippet from my setup.py to illustrate how this works:
import plistlib
plist = dict(CFBundleName = 'QuickWho',
CFBundleIconFile = 'quickwho.icns',
CFBundleIdentifier = 'com.codebykevin.quickwho',
CFBundleShortVersionString = '4.0.0',
CFBundleVersion = '4.0.0',
CFBundleGetInfoString = 'QuickWho 4.0.0',
CFBundleExecutable = 'QuickWho',
CFBundleHelpBookFolder = 'help',
CFBundleHelpBookName = 'QuickWho User Help',
NSHumanReadableCopyright = u'Copyright (c) 2012 WordTech
Communications LLC',
NSAppleScriptEnabled=u'YES',
OSAScriptingDefinition=u'QuickWho.sdef',
LSMinimumSystemVersion ='10.7.3',
LSMinimumSystemVersionByArchitecture = dict(
i386 = '10.7.3',
x86_64 = '10.7.3',
),
LSArchitecturePriority = ('x86_64', 'i386'),
LSApplicationCategoryType= 'public.app-category.utilities',
NSServices = [
dict(
NSMenuItem = dict(
default = u'QuickWho: Display Domain Information',
),
NSMessage = u'provideService',
NSPortName = u'QuickWho',
NSSendTypes = [
u'NSStringPboardType',
],
),
],
)
targetplist = 'build/QuickWho.app/Contents/Info.plist'
plistlib.writePlist(plist, targetplist)
