fpcmake is a pre-processor that generates makefiles for fpc projects. You can use it to do just about anything a standard makefile can do, including including resource files and running scripts. I use it all the time for building production versions of lazarus programs and prior to packaging the programs and resources in .deb and .rpm files.

My first question of fpcmake is, can I package application bundles and copy 
resources using it? For example some things I need to do:

- create a directory structure and copy the executable into it
- copy resource files that may have changed
- run some shell commands which apple provides for compiling various resources 
files
- copy a info.plist text file and replace some patterns in the file to reflect 
the build version

Are those the kind of things fpcmake can do or do I need another build system 
for this?
