Re: [Mono-list] MacOS packages.

Urs is correct, after some more digging, it's the 'way' to go.  it's 
going to take me a couple of days to cleanup my own system to get all 
this built and tested (wish I had another machine for this...  oh 
well).

I've got the packages and base installer's built, I just need to run 
through and tweak them into frameworks.  This will also make them much 
easier to install and manage in the future.

As for the version: that is the framework version not the assembly 
version.
The GAC is fine and no problem, but Apple is talking about the 
executables
(mono,mint) dynamic libraries (libmono.dylib, ...) and the C-headers, 
and
that has a standard folder structure.

Hello,

Well actually I agree that the shell scripts 'mono' and 'mcs' might
live in /usr/bin, but I would create a Framework and put it in
/System/Library/Frameworks/MonoVM.Framework the same way as
/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.Framework is placed (look at the
folder structure within the framework to see how Apple is structuring
such a beast).
But the .Net assemblies should live in
/System/Library/Frameworks/MonoVM.Framework/Versions/0.30/Assemblies
where there is a link pointing there @
/System/Library/Frameworks/MonoVM.Framework/Assemblies.
That would conform with Apple's standard much better: I don't know how
we would have to build mono to include those in the assembly load
path...
I think you just build mono with a prefix of:

	/System/Library/Frameworks/MonoVM.Framework

And just copy anything that is installed in the bin/ subdirectory to
/usr/bin.
As for the versioning: we will be taking care of library versions in a
different way (the GAC approach)
