[PD-dev] shell scripting in an install

[Adam Lindsay]

Hi folks.

I just wanted to do a sanity check for the postinstall script in my
proposed MacOSX installer. It attempts to give a .tcshrc and .pdrc to
those who don't already have them. Please, no flames about tcsh--it's
still the default shell in MacOSX to the best of my knowledge, and it's
the shell I know best.

The intention is to prep the command line for those who don't like to use
it, but to be kind enough to people who are able to hack their own
dotfiles (and not clobber anything too important, which is why everything
is an append).

Comments before I turn this into a package?

#!/bin/tcsh

# root/realtime trick
/usr/sbin/chown root /usr/local/pd/bin/pd
/bin/chmod 4755 /usr/local/pd/bin/pd

# make a few home/Library directories for future expansion 
/bin/mkdir -p $HOME/Library/Pd/Help
/bin/mkdir $HOME/Library/Pd/Externals
/bin/mkdir $HOME/Library/Pd/AdditionalDocumentation

# add a path
if ( ! `grep -sc /usr/local/pd/bin $HOME/.tcshrc` ) echo 'set path = ( /
usr/local/pd/bin $path )' >>! $HOME/.tcshrc

echo -rt >>! $HOME/.pdrc
echo -path ~/Library/Pd/Externals >> $HOME/.pdrc
echo -helppath ~/Library/Pd/Externals >> $HOME/.pdrc
echo -path /Library/Pd/Externals >> $HOME/.pdrc
echo -helppath /Library/Pd/Externals >> $HOME/.pdrc
echo -guishadow >> $HOME/.pdrc
echo -cordcolor >> $HOME/.pdrc
