1.3b Directory Issues, No such file or directory

[Patrick Fergus]

InstaDMG 1.3b attempts to use relative directories to set up the various important folders:

[code]# Put naked Apple pkg updates in here. Prefix a number to order them.
UPDATE_FOLDER=./AppleUpdates

# Put naked custom pkg installers here. Prefix a number to order them.
CUSTOM_FOLDER=./CustomPKG[/code]

Unfortunately, this doesn’t work since “.” is the working directory when the script is called. Consider a script “bar.sh”, which is:

[code]#!/bin/bash
pwd[/code]

The following is possible:

[code]pfergus:~ pfergus$ cd
pfergus:~ pfergus$ pwd
/Users/pfergus
pfergus:~ pfergus$ mkdir foo
pfergus:~ pfergus$ pico foo/bar.sh
pfergus:~ pfergus$ chmod +x foo/bar.sh
pfergus:~ pfergus$ foo/bar.sh
/Users/pfergus[/code]

cd’ing into the “Instadmg” directory and executing the script from there appears to work.

Thanks,

The build train root would be the directory that contains instadmg.bash as well as BaseOS, AppleUpdates, etc., directories? I am also getting No such file or directory errors when trying to create a dmg using instaDMG1.3. I’m sure it’s just me not doing it right.

First I [code]cd /Users/acadmin/Desktop/InstaDMG_1.3b/Instadmg/[/code]

then [code]sudo ./instadmg.bash[/code]

I copied the log file generated here:

What am I doing wrong?

[Patrick Fergus]

You may have hit a combination of install disk name that Josh hasn’t anticipated. Can you mount the OS install dmg by hand (just double-click it) and run the following battery of commands? It’s a bunch of commands so we can see where the directory structure doesn’t match the InstaDMG script, and it’s more efficient to give you a bunch of commands instead of having ping-pong “well, run [i]this[/i] now”-type forum posts.

[code]ls -al /Volumes/
ls -al /Volumes/Mac\ OS\ X\ Install DVD/
ls -al /Volumes/Mac\ OS\ X\ Install DVD/System/
ls -al /Volumes/Mac\ OS\ X\ Install DVD/System/Installation/
ls -al /Volumes/Mac\ OS\ X\ Install DVD/System/Installation/Packages/
ls -al /Volumes/Mac\ OS\ X\ Install DVD/System/Installation/Packages/OSInstall.mpkg[/code]

Dump your results in a reply and we’ll see where it goes.

Thanks,

– Patrick
