Problems building Mac OSX standalone (mostly resolved)

[Jon Seymour]

Peter, thanks, you were right. I needed to add several files to the  
location you wrote about, and now things seem dandy!

One final puzzler: my custom icon (.icns) file is placed in the  
package at contents/resources/revolution.icns. When I launch the app,  
my custom icon appears nicely in the Dock. But it is still not used  
for the desktop icon. How do I get that to happen?

Thanks again!

Jon

What version of Revolution are you using?

I'm not sure, but I think substacks (if they are broken out) might be
bundled in the .app folder.  Ctrl-click on the app and choose "Show  
Package
Contents" and look under Contents/MacOS/
