Greetings all,
In a nutshell, my pre- and postinstall scripts are not running from my
package. I have three components under one install option, and I am
allowing
only an easy installation on the system volume. One component has a
set of
pre- and post install scripts attached to it, and the second has a
postinstall script attached to it. The third component has no scripts
attached.
My scripts are Bourne shell scripts (each starting off with #!/bin/
sh) and
are executable. I have written them in TextWrangler. They are in
Mac OS
Roman encoding with Unix LineFeeds. (I hope this is not considered
extraneous....)
In an earlier iteration of this installer setup, I did have a
postinstall
script that executed properly, and I think I have set things up
virtually
identically between the two iterations. I cannot seem to find where
I am
messing up....
I have put echo lines into my scripts that output to textfiles to
see if the
scripts are running, and the output files never get created.
Therefore, I do
not think that the scripts are running at all.
If anyone has any suggestions as to how to best troubleshoot this,
I would
really appreciate your input.
Which format and target have you set in your PackageMaker project?
preinstall and postinstall can mean 2 different things depending on
these values.
