Hi, all,
I've seen several people trying to figure out how to get Relocatable
turned off. I wish I could tell you why -- My PackageMaker 3 seems to
usually do it. No matter how firmly and determinedly I check "Allow
Custom Location" it just bloody doesn't.
I'm getting really frustrated by it, because without the custom
location I don't seem to be getting anything in my second script
argument for Postinstall and I'm trying to build something that's able
to install derived content without containing the original copyrighted
work (sort of like patching, except in 3D, actually, it's a long
story).
Anyway everything was working fine except $ARGV[1] was being empty,
and I discovered that it wasn't actually USING a custom install
location, even though I told it to, and so I wasn't able to read the
deltas (just think of it like a diff) file becsause Perl had no clue
where it was and...
This is just a total mess... I figure if I check "allow custom
location" a freaking custom location should be allowed, but my
installers just have Package Name | Action | Size -- and the little
directory selector that's supposed to be there just plain ain't.
Unfortunately I don't have access to old versions because I just got
this. And... *sigh*
Sorry for rambling but I've been driven nuts for three and a half
hours trying to make this do what it advertises.
