How To Create .dmg File From Source Code

Advertisement

Here is how to create .dmg file from source code so that the Free Software can easily be distributed to be used by any level of users. Creating .dmg itself is quite easier, but what basically most wants – to create a distributable software package to avoid building from command line, we can give example with Lime Text – Free Alternative to Sublime Text, is only available as source code in Github. We can not expect that all the users will be able to use command line to install and use the softwares. You have to consider two steps :

 

  1. Installing dependencies on the target computer, for all applications, not just yours : then you need to go for the .pkg route (to be later delivered as .dmg).
  2. Embedding dependencies in your application bundle, so that you can provide, the .dmg with your app to be dragged to any folder.
