Hello. I am currently working on a graphical frontend for MHonArc for Mac OS X. (A very preliminary screenshot can be seen here: http://liepins.de/backspace/img/macmhonarc .jpg ) In the course of this I would like to make a MHonArc installer for OS X so those with a comamnd line phobia can install MHonArc with a few clicks.
Since I dont want to expose the user to having to enter paths of any kind, I executed the install.me file, set all paths to new directories, and am now planning to just copy the files to their correct destinations in my installer (which I am creating with Apple's PackageMaker). Since as far as I know things like the Perl path should always be the same under any OSX install, I think it should work. Any ideas on this, anything else I should consider? The documentation would sit next to the installer document in the archive that would be distributed, as putting it in some predefined directory isn't such a good idea under OSX. Any other files that come with the distribution (extras, license, etc) would go next to the installer, too. Maybe into an extra folder as to not irritate the non-technical user who wants to click a few things to build a HTML archive of his emails. I'd be happy to share this installer with the MHonArc community of course, and also to maintain new installers for new releases as they come out. A note about the install.me file: On OS X it tries to install the documentation into //doc/MHonArc (yes, with the double slash) by default. The directory /doc does not exist under OSX. And frankly I have no idea where such documentation should go in OS X. Thank you for any answers, _Lasar P.S.: What does MHonArc stand for, anyway? The M i guess is for "Mail", and Arc for "Archiver", but what's Hon? -- Lasar Liepins...
