Build instructions #65

Open myrne opened 11 years ago

myrne commented 11 years ago

The MacGap.app package included in macgap-rb seems a bit dated (as in: more than a year old). It would be nice to have some build instructions for people who don't have experience with XCode (i.e. me), so they can help themselves.

agreed! I'm not used with XCode and I don't know how to build well (i.e. how to change the app's name, various references, etc.).

A "How to build from XCode Tutorial" would be very appreciated.

Having dug into to it a little more, I'm now exploring the feasibility of turning Macgap into an OS X "framework"; as a kind of library to include in an otherwise pretty much empty Xcode app project (which one could follow apple's official tutorials for). This would allow the app creator to have full control over each project setting without changing the Macgap codebase itself.

I read about people submitting apps based on macgap to the mac app store, but I don't know how they would do this unless they heavily customize the "template" that macgap currently provides.
