I can think of a few - Segger for instance packages its JLink stuff up as an installer and that’s all command-line on OSX, it installs into /Applications and then symlinks out of /usr/local/bin, very convenient and signed as well, the tools and the installer. I have an installer for my own product which installs a GUI app and the command-line tools to go with it, which does something similar, mine copies them to /usr/local/bin however. I used Stephan’s ‘Packages’ installer to create it - very simple, you can make it part of the Xcode build with a custom script stage. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
