[Lazarus] Mac OS X 6.2

[Hess, Philip J]

I.e., prior to any distribution of the bundle, be sure to do something like this:

rm "myapp.app/contents/macos/myappexec"
cp -p myappexec "myapp.app/contents/macos"

The executable is created back in the main project folder with a symlink pointing to it from within the .app bundle to simplify development. When you distribute you have to replace the symlink with the actual executable file.

Thanks.

-Phil

Hello John

Lazarus uses symbol link to maintain MacOSX bundle.
The project layout is the following:

project (executable binary)
project.app (the bundle)
project.app/Content/MacOS/project (symbolic link to project binary
outside the bundle)

When you copy the bundle via Finder, the symbolic link is copied
instead of the file. So the bundle at the new location cannot be
executed, because the link inside of the new bundle points to a wrong
place.

To solve the problem you need to replace a symbolic link in the bundle
with the project binary.

thanks,
dmiry
