I have turned off prebinding and have set the mod date for a particular
file explicitly after building the application. On my computer I never
have so much as a hicup verifying the modification date. Even if I boot
into 10.2 it remains the same.
However if I gzip it with stuffit and mail it to some one, or even if I
put it on a compressed disc image and the gzip it with stuffit and send it
to some one, the mode date check fails every time. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
But I send it to myself in this format and it works fine for me in 10.3.4
and 10.2x
How can I get reliable information on a file in this case the object part
of a framework, if the mod date changes EVERY TIME IT RUNS. I have already
tried a check sum as was exampled to me by some one on this mailing list,
but the check sum would change not only every time it ran but if you
checked twice in the same execution it sometimes changed. How the heck can
I look for changes if nothing is static?
April.
