hey everyone, so in my last post i was asking about dependencies for apps, well i got it figured out now but need some help, i have a bunch of commands that i have to copy and paste into the cmd line before i am finished, my question is the commands are below, how can i make it so that these commands will work on any app without me having to go in and manually adding the app name to each line and can this be turned into a script so all i have to do is copy it into the folder with the app and run it?

Code: 
sudo mkdir IndependentMoneySystem-Qt.app/Contents/Frameworks
sudo cp -R /opt/local/libexec/qt4/Library/Frameworks/QtCore.framework IndependentMoneySystem-Qt.app/Contents/Frameworks
sudo cp -R /opt/local/libexec/qt4/Library/Frameworks/QtGui.framework IndependentMoneySystem-Qt.app/Contents/Frameworks

I don't know exactly what you are trying to achieve but some points:

You can paste these commands into a text file and it becomes a script. You can run it by:
  • typing
    Code: 
    sh path/to/script
  • or by making the first line read
    Code: 
    #!/bin/sh
    , make the file executable (
    Code: 
    chmod a+x path/to/script
    ) and then just typing
    Code: 
    path/to/script
  • or by making the first line read
    Code: 
    #!/bin/sh
    , make the file executable (
    Code: 
    chmod a+x path/to/script
    ) and then putting the script in your path (or changing your path to include the location of the script)
To save changing the filename on each line each time you should use a variable.
Code: 
APP_NAME=Foo.app
sudo mkdir "${APP_NAME}/Contents/Frameworks"
sudo cp -R /opt/local/libexec/qt4/Library/Frameworks/QtCore.framework "${APP_NAME}/Contents/Frameworks"

etc. You can set the variable either once at the beginning of your script, as shown above, or take it as a command line argument - e.g. you run the script as
Code: 
path/to/script Foo.app
and the script contains
Code: 
APP_NAME=$1
or you can try to make the script determine the value using some heuristic.

If you only run the script from within the app's directory you could try something like
Code: 
APP_NAME=`basename $PWD`

Hopefully that is enough to get you going.
 
i tried following what you posted but it cant find the app when i use the variable

You will need to be much more specific if anyone is to help you.

What exactly does your script contain?
What did you type?
In which directory where you when you typed it?
What was the error?
