OS X Clickable application

[Byungchul Cha]

I remember reading something about making a clickable sage application
for mac os X. Can I now do such a thing with sage 3.4? If so, where I
can find the instruction?

Thanks.

I must misunderstand something very trivial. I followed the steps
described at the release tour of Sage 3.3, except that I replaced 3.3
with 3.4, since I thought I was compiling sage-3.4. Compiling was
successful and when I did ./sage -bdist 3.4, I saw that this generated
a directory SAGE_ROOT/dist. But, in the directory I have a dmg file
and one subdirectory sage-3.4-i386-Darwin, which just looks like
another copy of SAGE_ROOT. I don't see any clickable Mac OS X app
anywhere, including in the disk image from the dmg file.

What am I missing?

Oh, btw, I'm using OS X 10.5.6. Thanks in advance.

I believe there were some bugs/kinks in the clickable app, so we still
aren't making it by default when one does "sage -bdist".

Run

SAGE_APP_BUNDLE=yes; export SAGE_APP_BUNDLE

before -bdisting and there App bundle will be created. As William
mentioned due to bugs this is not done per default at the moment.

Cheers,

You can use AppleScript to create a launcher for Sage:
Here is the AppleScript code:

tell application "Terminal"
do script "/Applications/sage/sage"
end tell

Note: It assumes that Sage is located in the Applications
folder.

If you would like I can email you my Sage launcher for
which I created an "Sage" icon.

Hey, I would like that script too, thanks. btw, can you have it do a
notebook too?
