I also get a warning: 2005-04-01 07:39:47.651 PackageMaker[18875] CFLog (0): CFPropertyListCreateFromXMLData(): plist parse failed; the data is not proper UTF-8. The file name for this data could be: /Users/fpcfan/src/fpc/install/macosx/fpc-1.9.8.pmsp The parser will retry as in 10.2, but the problem should be corrected in the plist.

Note that you can use that (binary) file only with PackageMaker afaik, not with any command line tool.

I found these links: http://s.sudre.free.fr/Stuff/PackageMaker_Howto.html http://s.sudre.free.fr/Software/Iceberg.html Both tools seem to be able to build a package from the command line (maybe not create a new package script). For my purposes that would be good enough. Regards, Vincent. ___ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
