10.3 beta no executable flag on mac #37

Closed ambyra closed 3 years ago

ambyra commented 4 years ago

I had to open the app and chmod 755.

OK, I'll need some help here. Please consider me a Windows guy with no access to a Mac and little to no experience with building C++ Application, especially for Mac or Linux. (It's not entirely that bad, but please consider me dumb in this issue just to be safe.) So 2 questions on using 'chmod' to make the app executable, so I can try to add it to the build: 1) Is this flag kept when I zip the app? 2) What target do I have to chmod ("bsnes_hd.app", "bsnes_hd.app/Contents/MacOS/bsnes" or something else)? Maybe post the command line to be sure I get it right ...

So it seems the command should look like this:

chmod +x bsnes_hd.app/Contents/MacOS/bsnes

And I should replace ZIP with TAR to keep the permission:

tar -jcvfp archive.tar.bz2 folder

I guess the same changes could be made for the Linus builds

fixed in new beta 10.4 Mac and Linux builds are now tar.bz2 to keep the executable flag. @ambyra please confirm
