I hope this is not a FAQ; I can't find it if it is.
I have a library that I build and install on various Unix machines
(Sun, SGI, Linux/x86) and I've ported it to OS/X. A very simple task,
mostly. I have made a .pkg package and it looks really nice, but I'm
installing in /usr/local/{bin,lib,sbin,...} and then installing a
second package that depends on the library. If users have
/usr/local/bin on PATH, it all works great, but most users don't.
Where should a library be installed? Is it a 'Framework?' If so, where
can I get documentation about their organization? I looked at the
Frameworks installed on my machine and only one (stuffit) actually had
the libs in there.
Suppose I do put the lib in Library (seems reasonable), what about any
executable scripts that are really part of it (for example, I have a
-config script that reports the version, et c.). Will executables in
Library be found?
Thanks,
James
