NAME

   macpack - Macintosh OS X Packager for managed gui assemblies

SYNOPSIS

   macpack [options] assembly

DESCRIPTION

   macpack   is   a   tool   used  to  package  managed  assemblies  (like
   System.Windows.Forms or  Cocoa#)  that  require  gui  availability  for
   deployment on Mac OS X.

   macpack  will  prepare  a  OS  X  compatible  bundle  from the provided
   assembly and resources.  The bundle will include the specified assembly
   as well as any of the provided resources (specified with the -resource:
   switch).

   Developers can specify the kind of application  to  produce  using  the
   -mode:  argument.   This controls how the environment in the Mono class
   libraries is setup.

OPTIONS

   -a assembly

   This option tells macpack where the managed assembly that you  want  to
   bundle  resides.  This option is also used to point to the shell script
   to launch in the case of a X11/Gtk# application.

   This is the same as just passing the assembly as an argument.

   -m [winforms,x11,console,cocoa] or -mode:[winforms,x11,console,cocoa]

   A value indicating the kind of  application:  WinForms  is  a  Winforms
   application running on Quartz;  X11 is an application that requires the
   X11 server to run;  console is a non-graphical application;   cocoa  is
   an application based on Cocoa#

   -n NAME or -appname:NAME

   This option specifies the application name of the emitted bundle.  This
   is what you will see in Finder.

   -o DIRECTORY or -output:DIRECTORY

   This option specifies the path to output the generated Application.

   -r RESOURCE or -resource:RESOURCE

   This option can be specified multiple times.  It will place a  copy  of
   each resource into the bundles resources directory.  Alternatively, you
   can use a comma separated list of resources.
