Generating a MacOS X Application with Perlapp on a Linux box?

Posted by znmeb on 2009-08-31 02:44

I installed the 32-bit ActivePerl and the 32-bit PDK 8.0.1 on my openSUSE 11.1 64-bit Linux system. Then I opened up Komodo and built a project. There is one file in the project, the "Hello, World!" sample PerlApp script.

I can build it for the native Linux system and it runs just fine. But I can't get PerlApp to build a MacOS X version. When I do "Make Executable" in the PerlApp GUI, I get this:

PerlApp Command Line:

perlapp --norunlib --target macosx-universal-32 --exe "PerlApp Sample-1-macosx-universal-32" --perl /opt/ActivePerl-5.10/bin/perl-static "PerlApp Sample-1.pl"

Output:

Could not find perlapp.xml in ./ at /ActivePerl/PPM/Profile.pm line 9

I tried "locate perlapp.xml" and it didn't find the file. Also, it does the same thing if I try to generate a Windows 32-bit version. I have a Windows system I can try this on, but no Macintosh.
