NAME

    LCFG::Build::Utils::MacOSX - LCFG software building utilities

VERSION

    This documentation refers to LCFG::Build::Utils::MacOSX version 0.0.45

SYNOPSIS

    my $dir = q{.};

    my $spec = LCFG::Build::PkgSpec->new_from_metafile("$dir/lcfg.yml");

    my $resultsdir = '/tmp/foo';
    LCFG::Build::Utils::MacOSX->generate_metadata( $spec, $dir, $resultsdir )

DESCRIPTION

This module provides a suite of utilities to help in building MacOSX packages from LCFG projects, particularly LCFG components. The methods are mostly used by tools which implement the LCFG::Build::Tool base class (e.g. LCFG::Build::Tool::OSXPkg) but typically they are designed to be generic enough to be used elsewhere.

SUBROUTINES/METHODS

There are two public methods you can call on this class.

generate_metadata( $pkgspec, $dir, $outdir )

This generates the Description.plist and Info.plist metadata files for building MacOSX packages with PackageMaker. It first looks in the directory specified in $dir and if templates for the metadata files are not found it uses those stored in /usr/share/lcfgbuild/templates. The generated files are placed into the output directory named in $outdir.

build( $tarfile )

DEPENDENCIES

For building packages you will need PackageMaker.
