Free libiconv installer package 1.8 software for mac

libiconv is a Unix library used for charset conversion. Most people wont ever have the need to use it directly, but a number of useful applications (including ht://Dig and wvWare) require libiconv.

libiconv is Open Source Software released by the GNU project; in other words: I did not write this software, but only compiled it and built this installer package.

My package was created using Apples “PackageMaker” and contains nothing but libiconv, compiled from the unmodified sources. If you are a Fink user, you should consider downloading Finks libiconv distribution instead.

Expat is a non-validating XML parser written by James Clark and released under an Open Source license. This implies I only compiled it and built this installer package, but I did not not develop the software.

Most users wont ever use expat directly (although the included xmlwf application can be handy to check the wellformedness of an XML document, if xmllint is not available), but it is a prerequisite for some other software, for instance some XML-related Perl modules or the Sablotron XSL-T processor.

This installer will install expat compiled from the original, unmodified sources.

“Pdftotext” is a shell program for converting PDF (Portable Document Format / Adobe Acrobat) documents into plain text. It is Open Source Software written by Glyph & Cog, LLC; this implies I only compiled it and built this installer package, but Im not the author of this software.

This installer will install nothing but a “pdftotext” binary and its manpage, compiled from the unmodified sources. Originally, “pdftotext” is part of the “Xpdf” software, which is a viewer for PDF documents. As I only needed the converter and not the viewer itself, this package does not contain anything except “pdftotext”. (Besides the fact that a full “Xpdf” installation requires the X window system.)

LANrev InstallEase 1.2.3 is considered as an interesting utility that lets you create installer packages with minimal effort by walking you through the entire process. Its intuitive easy-to-use interface takes the confusion out of building custom software packages enabling you to spend your time on more critical management tasks. The best part of InstallEase is that it's free!

After InstallEase completes its task, use LANrev Client Management Suite to deploy the custom PKG or DMG software package you just created. InstallEase lets you control which files to install while LANrev's many software installation options and conditions let you fine-tune precisely when the package should install.

Major Features:

1. Automated "Before" and "After" Snapshots: InstallEase's automatic snapshot feature takes the guess work out of creating custom packages. Simply take a "before" and "after" snapshot of your system when installing your software and InstallEase will generate a list of file changes that are part of your installation. InstallEase even lets you pick which folders or drives to monitor for changes. On Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard the "after" snapshot is nearly instantaneous.
2. Build Packages Manually: While snapshots are great for more complicated software packages, sometimes it's just faster to build a package manually, particularly for drag and drop applications. InstallEase allows you to skip the snapshotting process altogether and drag and drop files/folders directly from the Finder into the InstallEase window.
3. Install Files to the Current User's Home Folder: When used in conjunction with LANrev's "Install when a user is logged in" installation option, InstallEase packages can install files to the current user's home folder. Items from the user's home folder will be listed under the path "Installation Root/Users/" in the snapshot.
4. Exclusion Filters: An exhaustive list of preset filters is included to exclude extraneous file system changes that occur as a normal part of Mac OS X. These can be edited to suit your needs or you can add your own to screen out other file system changes you want to exclude.
5. Intuitive Graphical User Interface for Editing Changes: InstallEase's "Snapshot Data" screen provides a straightforward intuitive user interface for validating snapshot changes and editing user/group ownerships and permissions for snapshot changes. You have free reign to rearrange and remove items as desired with drag and drop. You can even add entries to the snapshot by seamlessly dragging and dropping directly from the Finder into the InstallEase window.
6. Uninstaller PKGs: For easier rollbacks of software installations, InstallEase can build an uninstaller PKG from an existing PKG. This ensures that only new files that were added are removed so you can be assured that no system critical files are accidentally deleted during the rollback. Uninstaller PKGs can also be based on snapshot data or manually specified filesystem entries.
7. Output to PKG, Iceberg Project, or DMG formats: Different installer formats have different advantages so InstallEase lets you choose the one that works best for you. DMGs are more convenient for simple drag and drop applications and can be modified later by converting the disk image to read/write format. PKGs are the easiest to roll back by creating an uninstaller PKG from the original installer PKG. Iceberg projects allow you to add pre and postflight scripts to the installer. If you can't decide which one fits your needs output the package in all these formats at the same time.

Requirements: Mac OS X 10.4 or higher

MindVision Installer VISE 8.5 is a simple to use, yet sophisticated IDEs and coding tool. Installer VISE is the easiest to use, and most powerful Software Installer builder for the Macintosh. A few drag and drop is all it takes to build an installer!

HARMONi Installer software is required with the HARMONi G3 iMac processor/FireWire upgrade.

HARMONi Installer must be installed before the HARMONi hardware is installed.

Suspicious Package 1.2 is developed to be a handy and convenient plugin which can be used for the Quick Look feature of Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) and 10.6 (Snow Leopard). It allows you to preview the contents of a standard Apple installer package without launching the Installer. Just select the icon in the Finder and select Quick Look.

You can click on individual folder names to see their contents, or click the Show Contents button to see all content at once. Suspicious Package also alerts you to packages that require an administrator password, or that require you restart your machine after installation.
