I need to create an install program for a Safari (webkit) plugin
that I have created in cocoa. I know how I'd do this on Windows
but for the Mac I have no idea. The target OS is Panther. End
users will download the plugin from the website (I assume) but we
have a requirement for an administrator install. Anyone have any
tips?
Just tell the user to put the finished plug-in bundle in the Internet
Plug-Ins folder in the Library folder in their home folder (if
they're all UNIX-savvy, in ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins). If you want
to insist an administrator installs said plug-in, tell them to
install it in the Internet Plug-Ins folder in the Library folder on
their startup disk (/Library/Internet Plug-Ins). Your users will
thank you for not forcing them to use an installer.
If you must use an installer, check out PackageMaker (part of the
developer tools).
