Respond to list postings to the list, not to me. On Friday, November 1, 2002, at 08:18 PM, Mr. Kiwi wrote:
You just drop it in to a bundle structure. You don't need to know how to write a cocoa app. Even not knowing, you could learn enough to do so in an evening or two i suspect by doing some tutorials.
My first thought when I finally got tr working was that it would be a good package for fink because:
1) It works identically to the Linux version
2) It utilizes the SDL, Mesa GL & GLUT, and Tcl package distributions that fink creates
3) I don't know how to write a cocoa app, and typing in /usr/local/bin/tuxracer is the only way I know how to open the program
4) Tr is stable (at least) on my machineFine. Please do make a fink package, fine by me. But many more users would be able to use it if you made it into a finder openable app and it really is a small amount of effort to do so (IMO). But if you don't know anything at all about programming, it might be a bit of learning i suppose. :) (maybe thats why the double clickable versions of tuxracer you found suck :)
5) It fits with fink philosophy: http://fink.sourceforge.net/about.php
I guess the biggest point is the use of Fink's libraries to create a program that works. There are no compromises in functionality or gameplay, and it would be really cool to type in: "fink install tuxracer" and have it do everything for me. I spent a lot of time looking on the Internet, trying to find something that worked, and I eventually got so frustrated I decided to compile my own app.
I understand about the double-clickable apps problem, and I couldn't agree more. However, Xdarwin.app is double-clickable, and I can move it with
The only exception, as you well know. Don't be an ass.
And that would break your fink install, because it would think you had it installed when you didn't.the help of chown -R mkiwi :P
