osacompile and making an application


  • Subject: osacompile and making an application

I am trying to use the osacompile command to make a script application. However, I'm having no luck. I did the following after reading the man page:

osacompile -d -c 'aplt' -t 'APPL' -o outputfilename inputfilename

The resulting output claims to be an application in the Get Info window, but it doesn't run when double clicked. It also has the classic script application icon, but this could be because it is missing a lot of resource data that an application created by Script Editor has.

Does anyone know if it's possible to create an application with osacompile? I thought specifying the type and creator codes would make it an application, but apparently not.

Thanks,

Don
