Re: gnustep make and linking applications to extensions

Hi all,

does anyone know a gnustep example application that builds under MacOS with gnustep make and that correctly sets up the necessary plist files (or whatever has to be done) to link file extensions to application so that a doubleclick on a document file in Finder automatically lauches the corresponding application?

I have written an app that should act as an editor for *.project files. The linkage works under MacOSX 10.2 and GNUstep but not on Leopard. Any idea?


I have found the following file in the application wrapper

        pico /Applications/InterfaceBuilder.app/Contents/Info.plist

{
  NOTE = "Automatically generated, do not edit!";
  NSExecutable = "InterfaceBuilder";
  NSMainNibFile = "";
  GSMainMarkupFile = "";
  CFBundleIconFile = "InterfaceBuilder.icns";
  NSPrincipalClass = "NSApplication";
}

I modified that as follows

{
  NOTE = "Automatically generated, do not edit!";
  NSExecutable = "InterfaceBuilder";
  NSMainNibFile = "";
  GSMainMarkupFile = "";
  CFBundleIconFile = "InterfaceBuilder.icns";
  NSPrincipalClass = "NSApplication";
  NSRole = "Editor";
  NSTypes = (
    {
      NSUnixExtensions = ( "smib" );
      NSIcon = "nibfile.tiff";
    }
   );
}

and Finder.app immediately had the connection between smib files and InterfaceBuilder.app. Great!

However, this file is overwritten and reverted to its original state when I do "make install". What file do I have to create in the project directory and what do I have to add to GNUmakefile to let gnustep make generate Info.plist as indicted above?

Thanks a lot!

Regards,

  Andreas
