Re: [Kdiff3-user] Do command line arguments work for the OS X build?

[Joachim E. <joa...@gm...>]

Hi Craig,

My friend Michael Schmidt (the creator of the MacOS-X binary) investigated 
this and showed me that under MacOS-X you must take care of a certain 
peculiarity.

The application is contained in a package kdiff3.app which is usually placed 
in the /Applications folder.

For launching the application normally you can click that package, but the 
actual binary is contained in a subdirectory:

/Applications/kdiff3.app/Contents/MacOS/kdiff3

When running the program from a terminal, we had to fully specify this binary 
and then it would also accept command line arguments.

/Applications/kdiff3.app/Contents/MacOS/kdiff3 <file1> <file2>

I suppose that if you want to specify kdiff3 as diff tool for another 
application, you will also have to specify this full path.

Please inform me, if this helped.

Cheers,
Joachim
