How do I install afloat? #6

Hey guys,

I was using the former installer supplied by the developer on his site but now I have no idea how to install it from the zip I downloaded from github.

Pretty sure it's easy but I'd appreciate if somebody could point me in the right direction.

Thanks.

run xcodebuild -configuration Release install then reboot should work.

Please do not install Afloat if you don't know what you're doing. (The install action works?!? whoa, good job configuring the project, Past Me.)

I purposefully removed the public page and build because I do not have the time to fix anything that may break Afloat in the future. By only providing the source, I make sure that only people with a decent experience fixing source problems can make it work — so if something goes wrong, they can fix it for themselves (and possibly fork it and make the fix available on GitHub).

I don't have the bandwidth to keep doing my day job and fix Afloat to, say, adapt to whatever quirk Mavericks or Application XYZ may introduce. And I don't want old builds laying around, triggering any aforementioned quirks to the frustration of potentially update-demanding users. So, until I can actually devote the time to make proper, supported releases, Afloat is available in source form only from me.

Sorry, ∞

Update: Install does not seem to actually work. The proper method is to copy the resulting afloat.bundle from build/Release to the SIMBL plugin directory.

Oh, Past Me screwed up. Ew.

Well, see above.
