I'm using PackageMaker 2.0.1 on 10.4.3 to make packages for the OMake build system (http://omake.metaprl.org). I can't seem to create a package that actually *installs* anything. I verified that the BOM lists all the files, there aren't any receipts in / Library/Receipts that clash, the files are all owned by root:wheel, yet Installer just happily goes through the motions of installing without installing a single file. There are no errors or warnings in the log, so I'm not sure what to try.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Can you post the bom file and Info.plist of the package somewhere or better the package itself?

I've posted the package here: http://www.n8gray.org/misc/OMake-0.9.6.6-2.pkg.zip

IFPkgFlagDefaultLocation is set to be /usr/local but your files archive is starting with /usr/bin.


So one solution could be to use / for IFPkgFlagDefaultLocation.

It might be a good admin to ask for Root authorization instead of Admin authorization (installing stuff in /usr/ with root:wheel ownership seems to ask for it) .

Ah, I see! My files were being installed in /usr/local/usr/local/...

It sure would be helpful if the installer log listed the actual files that were installed! This would have been much easier to debug.

Thanks a lot!
