No, they want to make it easy to write a Mac OS X application that doesn't need to be installed - everything is in the bundle (directory) for the application. It is trivial to wrap FLTK apps in bundles; perhaps we should make "fltk-config --post foo" create a basic foo.app bundle instead? Putting the application in a bundle provides a default menu bar created by WindowServer (the window manager on Mac OS X). Perhaps we just need to do the equivalent of a dummy Fl_Sys_Menu_Bar to get the menu bar to show for non-bundled apps... Even without the menu bar, applications *do* function properly, they just don't show up in the dock. -- ______________________________________________________________________ Michael Sweet, Easy Software Products mike at easysw dot com _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
