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.
