Greetings.
I am a new Apple developer seeking some help about a PackageMaker
issue. (Actually I am an ancient Apple developer, but the last time I
did any was around 1986!)
I have an application for which I am creating an installation. I have
successfully made a simple component package that works just fine.
I would now like to have the installer create an alias for the
application on the desktop after the basic installation has completed.
I understand that this is accomplished by a postinstall application.
Where do you install your applications? In /Applications/? Do you
require root authentication?
[Another side question is whether I should be creating a symbolic link
as opposed to an alias. I also do not understand the functional or
user difference between the two.]
You would need an Alias IMHO.
In any case, I am searching for sample shell scripts, or pointers to
good sources of examples, for this and other common enhancements to a
basic installation procedure.
For some sample code to build a tool to install Alias at a defined
location, search for the word 'bristow' in this list archive.
