A while ago, I used the dylibbundler tool (https://github.com/auriamg/macdylibbundler) to generate a .app from something I compiled elsewhere. Granted, the program I was putting in the .app was a single binary with no supporting files and only a few dependencies. Is there a reason we couldn't do this with Octave?I realize it could result in an enormous .app file because we would be putting all the relocated libraries inside of the .app file, but I think it would work. Also, as long as is was built for Mountain Lion or Mavericks, is *should* work on Yosemite too. A little searching found a pretty complicated script that does the entire relocating and .app creation process for FontForge (https://github.com/fontforge/fontforge/blob/master/travis-scripts/create-osx-app-bundle-homebrew.sh#L118). Carlo Falco and Ben Abbot, Do you see any major hangups with this approach? I have been meaning to get back to helping Octave out more actively and maybe this is something I could take on. John S. |
