As it's a much older Carbon-based app, it is still compiled on Xcode 3.6.2 (in Mavericks) and hence I cannot use any of the newer Xcode-based packaging tools.
What newer Xcode-based packaging tools are you referring to? I am not aware of any. If you are referring to the command line tools, they are quite independent of Xcode.
I guess I was under the impression that the command line tools I see mentioned here were "newer" and part of Xcode.
What I have done is made my own packaging scripts that I run as an Xcode build phase. While I can now fortunately run these in a modern Xcode, for a while there I was using the older command-line packaging tools in Xcode 3.2.6 running in a Snow Leopard Server virtual machine.
But even so, I'm not much of a CL kinda guy and I think it would take me a much longer time to implement and test something like this. If there were clear script examples available that say installed the app in the /Applications, a driver in the right place, some system app support files in /Library/Application Support/ etc. I might be able to follow it along, but to come up with that stuff myself would be hard. But thanks for the suggestion - nice to know it can be done! I'm going to give Packages a try... - Stephen _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
