Hi, the other day, I wrote a message that I need to use "sudo" in
my installer script - but apparently that isn't my problem. It
appears that my installer script doesn't run at all. I named it
preflight, and its executable bit is set. When I ctrl-click on my
built package, and select "show package contents" and then go to
Contents -> Resources, it's right there where it should be.
However, it's icon is NOT that of a UNIX executable, it has the
BBEdit icon (is this a problem?). I made the script's first order
of business creating a directory on my desktop just to see if it's
getting anywhere, and it does not do this. So it's not even
running the script. Any ideas? Help is much appreciated as I am
new at this. Thanks!
Are you sure that the name is "preflight" and not "preflight.pl" or
something like that? And have you looked at the permissions to make
sure that the executable bit is set for everyone, rather than just
for you? Also, do you have the "shebang" (#!/usr/bin/perl for
example) line is the first line in the script, and that you have used
complete paths to all executables (/bin/mkdir rather than mkdir)?
Those are the usual problems.
