| OSX stores everything in it's app file (which is really just a folder) the structure is: yourfile.App > contents > MacOS > resources When developing, you will need to have all your files properly inside the app file to work. this is a bit of a pain with debug version, etc. so here is some quick code that looks inside the app folder then will look inside the home folder/resources/ then the home folder So, during development you can just store everything in a folder called resources while developing and then move into the app when finished Here we see then font folder version: | |||||
Local FontDir:String = GetPreviousDir(GetPreviousDir(AppFile$) ) + "resources/font/" If FileType(FontDir) <> 2 Then FontDir = AppDir$ + "/resources/font/" If FileType(FontDir) <> 2 Then FontDir = AppDir$ + "/font/" Print "fontdir="+FontDir |

| I generally just use a post build script (post.bmk) which does relevant stuff like copying resources and dylibs into the app bundle. Then everything is always in the correct place. Since my bmk_ng's scripting is lua-based, you can set it up to do quite complex stuff, all tied-in to the build system itself. |
