Redistributable/Standalone wxPerl Application for Mac OS X 10.3by ask83 (Novice) |

ask83 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Hey Fellow Monkers- I have a question that I know is being asked all over the net and I am determined to find an answer. I have a wxPerl that works perfectly on Mac OS X 10.4 and Window's systems. On the windows systems, I am able to include all of the necessary libraries and my application works as expected (the same results are on OS X 10.4 since it now ships with wxPerl). When I dug deeper into 10.4, I found multiple Dylib libraries but they are most likely compiled specifically for 10.4. I spoke to a few of my sources and found the following courses of action but would like to get everyone's opinion before I continue A) I can make separate versions of my app for each version of OS X. There are 2 problems with this, 1) I would obviously have separate apps for each OS, and 2) I would have to find a way to change the statically linked libraries so that it is included in my .app. I believe this is the worst case scenario. B) I was told that using XCode, you CAN compile a program that will be backwards compatible with any version of OS X. If this is true, then I would need to make a perl project within XCode (Which I do not know how to use currently and add the approriate libraries, and XCode will bundle my app automatically. So I am open to any suggestions. Has anyone been able to distribute a wxPerl app in OS X (not 10.4) and been successful? Any help is greatly appriciated. Thanks! --Adam
