I expect you (meaning cazfi) are adept at writing unix scripts. I can
describe what needs to be done in sufficient detail that you can
hopefully translate that into scripting language. If you don't have
access to a Mac I can do the script testing myself. Does this sound do-able?
That's the sensible way, at least to begin.
This would be a good thing if we can get it working, because my process
now is mostly manual each time, and takes me a fair bit of time.
Manual processes are usually also prune to human errors.
The first issue I see is that there needs to be at least one file added
to the source tree - an Apple icon image file. It could go in a folder
called "mac", parallel to the "windows" folder. We might want to put
some other files in there too.
How that relates to the icon files in data/ that my linux system
recognise as "MaxOS X Icon" (freeciv-client.icns &
freeciv-server.icns) - though I'm now not sure if they are in part of
the tarball distribution. or if they are in version control only.
Is your icon derived from some of the other files (only different format)?
Do you currently provide repackaged freeciv source code matching your
binaries? If not, that makes resolving things like this icon issue
necessary even if we don't get to the build script part.
