I have been trying to make an AppleScript into a .app bundle for several
days now with no luck on OS X.
I would like to be able to build a bundle on the fly via applescript.
I can see what the folder structure is for a .app bundle, but if I create
a folder called "MacOS" inside a folder called "Contents" the scrip will
no longer run. The script I am using is an "application" that has been
saved with "don't show startup" and "stay open" flags set. It works
everywhere on my system unless I put it in the /Contents/MacOS location.
When it is in this spot, the script come sup with the "pres Run to run
this script, or Quit to quit." dialog. If I choose to run the script, I
get the error -1344 "Could not run the script "bla" becuase of a program
error."
I have tried a few bundle making programs, and they all strip the
applescirpts resource fork and put it in a file, from which it does not
work.
The reason I want to bundle this thing up is that it has support files
that I do not want people to seperate from the script. Bundeling it up
would be a great way to do that.
Has anyone made a .app out of a folder with an applescript as the core?
Thanks,
DAC
