I looked at this for gnuplot, but without conclusion yet. The usual recipe is "build app bundles". There are actually examples for building app bundles in the wxmac sources, and it would be good if the wxmac28 package installed these demos and samples and the files necessary for building them, like src/mac/carbon/Info.plist.in, instead of throwing them away with the sources. A typical "make" output in one of these demos is as follows: > costabel% make LDFLAGS_GUI="-L/sw/lib" > g++ -o fractal fractal_fractal.o -framework QuickTime -framework IOKit > -framework Carbon -framework Cocoa -framework System > -L/sw/src/fink.build/wxmac28-2.8.3-1001/wxMac-2.8.3/lib -L/sw/lib -lz > -lpthread -liconv -lwx_mac_core-2.8 -lwx_base_carbon-2.8 -lpng -lz > -ljpeg -ltiff -framework WebKit -framework QuickTime -framework IOKit > -framework Carbon -framework Cocoa -framework System -lz -lpthread -liconv > Rez -d __DARWIN__ -t APPL -d __WXMAC__ -i . -d WXUSINGDLL -i > ./../../samples -i ../../include -o fractal Carbon.r sample.r > SetFile -a C fractal > /sw/src/fink.build/wxmac28-2.8.3-1001/wxMac-2.8.3/change-install-names > /sw/src/fink.build/wxmac28-2.8.3-1001/wxMac-2.8.3/lib /sw fractal > mkdir -p fractal.app/Contents > mkdir -p fractal.app/Contents/MacOS > mkdir -p fractal.app/Contents/Resources > sed -e "s/IDENTIFIER/`echo . | sed -e 's,\.\./,,g' | sed -e 's,/,.,g'`/" \ > -e "s/EXECUTABLE/fractal/" \ > -e "s/VERSION/2.8.3/" \ > ../../src/mac/carbon/Info.plist.in >fractal.app/Contents/Info.plist > echo -n "APPL????" >fractal.app/Contents/PkgInfo > ln -f fractal fractal.app/Contents/MacOS/fractal > cp -f ../../src/mac/carbon/wxmac.icns > fractal.app/Contents/Resources/wxmac.icns This does both voodoo incantations, the resource fork one and the app bundle one. I verified that (on 10.5) the resource fork one is not necessary (for this example, at least). On the other hand, I don't know how to can gnuplot into an app bundle, so that it would still take its input from the command line or from stdin. I am not sure if this is possible at all (or did Apple's python do something like this?) One would perhaps have to create a new wxwidget for gnuplot command input or something similar. Otherwise, one would need to outsource the wxt term code to a separate app called by gnuplot, that means reinvent aquaterm. -- Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
