[Fink-devel] Tool to bundle-ize shlibs from fink

[Philip L. <ph...@ed...>]

Hi all,

This might seem like a sacreligious quesion to ask, but has anyone  
made a tool to automate the process of bundle-izing a given set of  
shlibs from a fink installation?

By bundle-ize, I mean making a copy of a given library and all its  
dependencies that live in /sw, and rewriting (with install_name_tool)  
the install name of the libs and their connections with each other so  
that they hang off @executable_path/ instead of /sw/lib.

I ask because it could be a really useful tool for developers.. you  
generate some libraries using Fink, and then bundle them (paying  
attention to the license terms of course) inside an application which  
can then be distributed without any dependence on fink.

At the moment I'm doing this manually, but with two libraries with  
another 6 dependent libraries, its time consuming to repeat each time  
the libs change.

Regards,
Phil.
