I remember reading somewhere when I downloaded a version of Sage that the program was soliciting help from mac-experts in making the binary version of Sage a little more mac-like.
I'm certainly not a mac expert. However, I got Sage working through a mac-like icon using the Platypus program (http://www.sveinbjorn.org/ platypus). There's a good article here (http://www.tuaw.com/2007/05/08/ platypus-create-mac-binaries-from-ruby-perl-shell-scripts-et/) about how to use the program here. But it's kinda nice. Among other programs, the Gimp.app program uses Sage for it's Mac application bundle. I created a shell script that looks like this: #!/bin/sh cat > startsage << EOF notebook() EOF /Users/rmuller/Programs/sage-2.10/sage < sage and had Platypus run it, putting the output into a text window. This runs the notebook() function and the twisted server, and pops open the browser with the Sage notebook. The drawback is that the script needs to know the path to my sage installation. I think that the workaround to this is to actually put the entire Sage installation in the folder that Platypus creates for the application. OS X applications on the Mac are actually folders (unix directories). Does this sound like it would be useful to the Sage community if I could get it working? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
