@Hugh, I like your idea even better 'cause it's hitting you in the face when you want to use it. but still the more places you refer to the idea that yes you can create packages for *all* OSes the better.
one of the first places i looked at for help on how to "compile" on linux was the Shoooes website and on one of the pages it talks about "comipling" on Windows, Mac but nothing for linux. So this page could be updated to reflect the -- -p option on linux also. regards, dave. ----- Original Message Follows ----- > > > On Wed, 27 May 2009, dave lilley wrote: > > > > > May I please then request some additions to the manual > > that is pagackaged with shoes? > > With something like this > > Packaging shoes <as a main heading> > > text under heading to read like..... > > > > To Package you Shoes application run shoes > > with these options > > For Linux Shoes2.run -- -p > > For Windows Shoes2.exe -p > > For Macs Shoes2.dmg -p <or whatever > > switches are needed> > > Or maybe: > > > 2) Running /spare/downloads/shoes2.run : > > /spare/downloads/shoes2.run [options] [--] [additional > arguments to embedded > > script] > [...] > > --tar arg1 [arg2 ...] Access the contents of the > > archive through the tar command > > -- Following arguments will be > > passed to the embedded script > > add > or if no script is supplied, > shoes itself if that is actually correct. > > I'm thinking there is still some subtle distinction > between shoes.run and shoes.exe which shoes.run "knows" > about but the uninitiated will not.
