[ptx] Hugin 0.6 on OS X Crashing

[Ippei UKAI]

Hi,

Briefly about .app package then:

First, you need the right package structure (normal directories). You  
can read about it on apple's documentation, but you can just see any  
existing application bundles.

Second, to be a proper application bundle, the files PkgInfo and  
Info.plist should be in place.

Third, HuginOSX finds many resources inside the bundle, so have to  
place resources in the right places. Again, you can see inside  
HuginOSX and reproduce it, but main idea is thatall resources go in  
to the Resources folder, but localised version goes into the  
languages's .lproj folder. Localising part is done by my hand written  
script which is in the CVS. The xrc is (almost) directly copied into  
the Resource folder.

Lastly, all executable (and other platform-dependent) codes goes to  
Contents/MacOS (HuginOSX and optionally enblend). If you use dynamic  
libraries, you should compile the executables to dynamically link  
@executable_path/lib*.dylib (I have no idea how, by the way... I  
simply use static libs). Some projects choose to store dynamic libs  
in Contents/Frameworks (@executable_path/../Frameworks/lib*.dylib).

Basically, on OSX, no application that is not bundled can handle GUI.  
You definitely need application package. I also chose to simplify the  
install process and linked all the libraries statically. You may  
choose otherwise, but most 'nice' applications are distributed as d&d  
installation than installer packages.
