I'd like to provide my software as a nice Mac OS installer,
and I am back into the Mac OS jungle:

  Bundle  = Mac OSX bundle
  DragNDrop   = Mac OSX Drag And Drop
  OSXX11  = Mac OSX X11 bundle
  PackageMaker= Mac OSX Package Maker installer

Which one should I go with?
My current projects currently contains only command lines tools
which I expect to install in standard place (may be /usr?) on the Mac.

The first thing to figure out is what you need to install where.  If
it's a bunch of command line tools, then maybe /usr/local/bin would be
the right place; don't install in /usr/bin !  Probably a .pkg is your
best bet.

Ok I'll go for /usr/local.

.pkg meaning ? which CPack generator?

Probably PackageMaker, though I've never used CPack.

I tried PackageMaker and even if I manage to build  execute the installer
it fails in the end.

Does it generate a .pkg file?  That's the format that the Mac OS X
installer (Installer.app) expects.
