Not getting an output file

[nobrainer]

svn checkout http://instadmg.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ instadmg-read-only

Is the correct command… however, the part after /trunk/ is just a destination folder – it can be named anything you want.

There is apparently a bug in the 334 release that puts spaces into the catalog file instead of tabs, but that’s easily fixed if you don’t have time to wait for the corrected script (modify the catalog file and remove the spaces (replace with a single tab) under apple updates and system settings)

The other thing I ran into was when building 10.5.x machines the scripts will often bomb out because it can’t find the temp folder… another post here, in the forums, found that by commenting out Lines 573 –> 575 and then adding HOST_MOUNT_FOLDER=”/private/tmp” would correct it…

Lines 573 – 575 below to make it easier to search…just put a # in front of the line to comment it out

HOST_MOUNT_FOLDER=`/usr/bin/mktemp -d “$TEMPORARY_FOLDER/$MOUNT_FOLDER_TEMPLATE”`
/bin/chmod og+x “$HOST_MOUNT_FOLDER” 2>&1 | (while read INPUT; do log “$INPUT ” detail; done) # allow the installer user through
log “Host mount folder: $HOST_MOUNT_FOLDER” detail

However, this seemed to not work anymore with r334 – now I find it bombs out when it’s making the image, it goes through all the Apple updates, it errors out with something about the temp folder not being found – but it puts “/private/tmp/private/tmp”, so your mileage may vary.

Sheesh, looks like I double-posted last night’s post. I don’t know how that happened…

Anyway, I figured out what “svn” is and used it to update my InstaDMG binary. It’s chugging away as I type and appears to have gotten past the missing com.apple.installd.plist file. Fingers crossed.
