Hi Dan,
Greg Lansweber actually has working code code for an OSX app he demoed
at Dev1 that will hopefully make it into Sage soon.
Cheers,
Michael

Subject: SAGE for Mac OSX-installation
Hello dr. Drake,
I am writing you because I wish to share the information for
making
SAGE a Mac OSX application with icon and double click for open it.
In the file sage-README-osx.txt there is the following:
If you're an OSX guru and want to make steps 4--6 much nicer,
join sage-devel and tell us. You'll be greatly appreciated
by a lot of people!
http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel
Unfortunately I am not a guru at all and I do not know how to post in a
IRC channel. So I beg your pardon for writing you instead of the
sage-devel. May be you are more familiar with IRC channel or mailing
lists than me and you could forward this small howto to the sage-devel.
Many thanks in advance.
Roberto
The following how-to worked for me:
HOWTO - SAGE - Mac OSX
1) Download the Platypus application from here: http://
www.sveinbjorn.org/platypus
2) Unzip it and Drag the Platypus folder somewhere, e.g., ~/Applications
3) run the Platypus application:
At the graphical interface set the following:
App name: SAGE
Script Type: Shell
Script Path: Select... the file sage_script reported into this mail
Version: 3.0.2
Identifier:
Author:
On the right check Remain running after completion
optional: drag a png picture (eg:sage_banner.png) on the icon to change
it
then click on Create
This shoud create a MacOSX application folder SAGE.app with your icon
4) Download the sage dmg from sagemath.org somewhere and double click on
it.
5) Use finder to visit the SAGE.app folder (show package contents in the
Action menu) you just created and locate the Resources folder
6) Drag all the files and folders which are in the sage folder into the
Resources folder of the SAGE.app you created
** WARNING ** If you get an error copying the folder do the following:
Do not drag the the folder out of the dmg image. Use the
shell (via Terminal) and do a
cp -R -P /Volumes/sage-2.9.2-OSX10.4-intel-i386-Darwin/sage/* .
from the location where you want to install to. Adjust the name of
the
Volume as needed.
7) Double click on the SAGE.app icon and SAGE should pop up in a
Terminal window.
No modification to any file are requested.
