Joey,

You asked about :

"Also, is there an easy way to bundle X11 and native applications together? Our software is like an office suite made up of several applications."

Take a look at a program called Iceberg. We use it at work to create customized installers for my school. It allows you to customize install locations & the documentation is fairly good as well.

I ported one of our Unix X11 applications to native Mac using Qt which is nice since it looks so cool. Most of our apps are still X11, however and I would like to distribute all of these as a single bundle.

All of our applications are very dependent on an environment variable being set. What is the preferred Mac way to do this?

I found out how to set an environment variable by editing a file called environment.plist in a hidden directory called .MacOSX, but that's only useful for us tech heads since we can edit a file and be on our way. Is there a Mac way to set a variable in a "registry" that I can use across our native and/or X11 applications? Or maybe a command line program I can run which sets this variable rather than hacking around an XML file?

Also, is there an easy way to bundle X11 and native applications together? Our software is like an office suite made up of several applications.

Thanks for any insight!
