build last time I checked, but then again, several improvements have purposes all this means is that an executable named "foo" needs to be
been made since then. inside a "foo.app/Contents/MacOS" directory. For deployment you will need
an appropriate Info.plist and PkgInfo inside the foo.app/Contents directory.
For other samples, you will need to provide at the very least an empty
resource fork so the OS will recognize it as a GUI application.
From the debug build directory:
$ cd samples/drawing
$ make
$ true | /Developer/Tools/Rez -t APPL -o drawing
$ ./drawing
Note that the empty resource fork doesn't actually allow the app to be
started from the Finder (it thinks it's a classic app!) but does allow
it to run with a menubar and proper event handling from the command line.
I suspect (but am uncertain) that if we provided an empty plist resource
that the app would be recognized as a proper OS X application. Obviously,
bundles would be preferrable, and any work on Bakefile (see
http://bakefile.sf.net/) would be much appreciated. wxMac also needs
bundle building restored since the switch to Bakefile.
wxCocoa (and Cocoa in general) has no need for Mac OS resources. It
certainly has no need for resource forks as no Mach-O applications should
_ever_ have resource forks (note: Bakefile violates this right now).
Please see the wxWiki and/or discuss this with wx-users before shipping
any wxCocoa apps if you are new to the OS X platform.
