i wanted to write a tutorial for people to follow, when they do not have
any metacard installed yet, but want to check it out. In my opinion, the
process would be too complex to follow, and no one is gonna read a
tutorial anyway.
Therefore I made a stack that does it mostly automatic:
http://homepage.mac.com/bvg/temp/create_mc_for_macosx.rev
It works for Mac OS X, and people still need to supply the ide stacks by
hand.
Urgh. Wish I'd known. I just spent most of tonight doing the same thing.
Richard and I have been talking in email and this is a feature he
suggested I add, to be integrated into the IDE as a menu item. I was
about to write to the list to tell folks and get feedback on some of the
features I have implemented.
Related to that: Would it be possible to mirror the IDE stack files
somewhere, where a program can download them (maybe ask runrev for a bit
of space on their server?)? Additionally, is it possible not to use zip
files (because that needs the zip.dll)? I recommend plain stack files,
maybe gz, because these can be used within rev/mc.
I had exactly the same thoughts, and just wrote to Richard about it (he
hasn't answered yet.) I also want to avoid the external if possible, so
would like to see the stacks individually gzipped. Richard will be
setting up a permanent URL for the IDE downloads, which my stack also
implements. I guess you and I are on the same wavelength.
A feature i could have made is the creation of relevant bundles needed
to build applications within mc, but it's 06.00 and i want sleep.
Richard suggested I not include the standalone engines, as he is going
to rewrite the standalone builder to accomodate that.
I guess we should have coordinated this better, but Richard only asked
me yesterday. :( Maybe you and he can sort it out, and if you want, I'm
happy to step down.
