Hi Przemek,
I do not see any way that you may change you preferences.
Yes, and you seemingly cannot accept that these
preferences can have valid grounds or they they
may even exist, at the same time you simply ignore
them without adding arguments.
Questions/facts you've ignored:
- How to install two Harbour versions in parallel with installation
technique?
- How to use Harbour without admin/sudo rights with installation
technique?
(suppose I'm on someone else's PC, or I'd like to ship a software
which includes Harbour, but I wouldn't like to ask for an admin pw
on installation)
- How to move around a Harbour devl environment with installation
technique?
(say, onto an external disk or USB drive, or to a backup disk)
- There is no native package manager in OSX.
[ First three applies to Linux and probably other Unixes too BTW. ]
Inside the start script of this applications you have all
settings necessary in any *nix like system to create custom
shared library set you were asking in the past. You do not
see it but you are finding it as confirmation for keeping
static builds. As Marek said few times in the past we can
talk but you will make what you want.
I'm talking, and you don't seem to read. You pick some
personal parts, react to it by trying to question my
competency, and ignore the points. Maybe my English is bad,
maybe my points are stupid to such extent in your mind,
maybe something else, hard to tell.
Please do it. I believe you will create perfect installation
packages for MacOSX, created by f.e. mpkg_macosx.sh.
As I've said I'm not interested in "installation".
You will check how and where perl, python, gcc and other
languages are installed in MacOSX, if necessary you will
These are native packages (part of the OS), so there
is no need to install them. If you need another version
of them, you have to choose a 3rd party package manager
and install them to different (than OS) locations, or
probably you can try to build them yourself.
consult the localization and installation form with some
MacOSX gurus and the result will make all MacOSX users
happy. Please only be so kind and do not change existing
functionality as long as this alternative version will
not be ready.
I'll commit small modification for hb-func.sh so you will
be able to easy control default -static/-shared switch state
in final hb* scripts. And I'll reactivate the envelope code
use in mpkg_tgz.sh using some other textutil/fileutil commands
which should work with most of POSIX systems. I hope they will
work also for MaxOSX so it should help you if you will need
some simple installer. This is all what I can do. Other work
on MaxOSX installer will have to be done by real MacOSX users
in new MaxOSX build script. For me this closes the subject.
Nice and thanks, but this didn't solve the problem of those
who wish to install to different than OS location, or not
to wish to install at all.
Brgds,
Viktor
