Creating a native Mac OS X package for gf

Finally I found time to check the other way: I made a directory tree for GF.framework (to reside at /Library/Frameworks) and copied there the files from the Intel Mac binary distribution at gf download page.

Then, I wrote a bash script (the actual executable) setting the right values of GHOME and GF_LIB_PATH (this one pointing to the present subdirectory of the library)

Using Apple's Package Maker, I created a set for a new package. Then I:

• Inserted the directory as a new component;

• Added the gf logo;

• Added the license document;

and build the package. It works for me. If you want to try it in your computer just ask.

Notes

• To uninstall simply remove /Library/Frameworks/GF.framework

• The package creates an alias for the gf executable in the Desktop.
