Re: Fixing Mac OS X standalones
When you build a standalone for Mac OS X, at the moment (Rev 2.7.x) the required display plugins are not copied over, so the app looks like it was built for OS 9. Also, if you have specified a custom icon, it does not get displayed. Here is a script that fixes all that. It is set to work only when building on OS X systems, I don't know if it is needed on others. Just put this in the stack script of your mainStack and it will happen auto-magically after the standalne has been created. Sorry all, some last minutes changes made it stop working :-( Here is the correct version. Cheers, Sarah -- after a standalone is created, this is called -- pFolder is the name of the folder containing the standalone's folder -- -- this routine copies over the missing display plugins -- and "touches" the app tho make the icon appear -- on standaloneSaved pFolder -- only works when building on Mac OS X if the platform <> "MacOS" then exit standaloneSaved set the itemdel to "." if item 1 of the systemversion < 10 then exit standaloneSaved put the short name of this stack into tStackName -- check if building any Mac OS X version put the cRevStandaloneSettings["MacOSX"] of stack tStackName into tMacUB put the cRevStandaloneSettings["MacOSX PowerPC-32"] of stack tStackName into tMacPPC put the cRevStandaloneSettings["MacOSX x86-32"] of stack tStackName into tMacIntel if tMacUB = false and tMacPPC = false and tMacIntel = false then exit standaloneSaved -- get the full name of the standalone folder put the cRevStandaloneSettings["name"] of stack tStackName into tName put pFolder & tName & "/" into tAppFolder -- if building multiples, there will be a Mac OS X folder, otherwise, just .app if there is a folder (tAppFolder & "MacOSX") then put "MacOSX/" after tAppFolder end if -- get out if can't find the new app if there is not a folder (tAppFolder & tName & ".app") then exit standaloneSaved -- get the new app's plugins folder so the display plugins can be copied across put tAppFolder & tName & ".app" & "/Contents/PlugIns/" into tAppPlugins -- get the path to the Rev app's plugins folder to find the originals put the effective filename of stack "Home" into tRevPath set the itemdel to "/" delete item -2 to -1 of tRevPath put "/Revolution.app/Contents/PlugIns/" after tRevPath -- list the plugins put the defaultfolder into tOldDefault set the defaultfolder to tRevPath put the folders into tPlugins filter tPlugins with "*.bundle" -- copy them to the new app -- bundles need revCopyFolder despite what the docs say -- revCopyFolder needs the full path for source & destination repeat for each line i in tPlugins put tRevPath & i into tSource revCopyFolder tSource, tAppPlugins end repeat -- 'touch' new app to make it's icon appear put "touch '" & tAppFolder & tName & ".app'" into tCmd get shell(tCmd) -- reset default folder set the defaultfolder to tOldDefault end standaloneSaved ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
