My intention is to build this for deployment to customers on unknown
computers, and not for installation on my computer. I believe that the
answers to your questions are in these target settings:
Deployment Location [not checked]
Installation Build Products Location /tmp/$(PROJECT_NAME).dst
Installation Directory $(HOME)/Applications
Skip Install [not checked]
Install Permissions a-w,a+rX
So, am I doing an "install build"?
Should I be doing an "install build"?
What does "a-w,a+Rx" mean? It looks like some kind of Reverse Polish
Notation for Permissions. Can this be translated to a 3-digit octal number
that I can understand, or is it more complicated than that?
Thanks!
Jerry
