Re: [MACTCL] Tcl and code signing

[Mark R. <ma...@ma...>]

Hi Joi,

Your diagnosis is correct, the extra data at the end of the file  
doesn't play well with codesign.  The latest (from a couple of days  
ago I think) tclkit's that jcw built already come code-signed, so if  
you can start from those you're home free.

If you're building your own tclkit, code signing has to be done in the  
build process before the core tclkit data is appended on (i.e. code  
sign each of the two 'kitsh' binaries, before they're lipo'd together).

Hope this helps.
Mark
