Hi Pat, If I do that, I get an error "The application cannot be opened because its executable is missing.". When I have a look at the Info.plist file, it contains the lines
<key>CFBundleExecutable</key> <string>paraview</string> and <builddir>/bin/paraview.app/Contents/MacOS has a "paraview" executable. Any idea what the reason could be? Michael P.S.: As I already noted on "Paraview-developers] Problems with protobuf when loading self-compiled plugin on OS X", I cannot use "make install" to create a working app bundle in the /Applications directory. If I use "make install", I *am* able to start ParaView using the "open" command, but then I buy this convenience with losing the ability to use my own plugins. I don't know if this makes a difference or not - as far as I understand from the ParaView build wiki, I should be able to use ParaView without using "make install" On May 30, 2013, at 22:12 , Pat Marion wrote: > Hi Michael, > > That's a standard behavior of MacOSX.
