Install textmate, open a terminal and type 'mate new.txt' and Textmate will open a new text document titled "new.txt".

Try 'grep -R "something" * | mate" and watch your grep results show up in a new TextMate document.

Textmate is a Drag and Drop install. It has combined cli and gui. How is this different than cmake?


So, how does it work? Where is mate installed? I have one simple requirement:

1. you install cmake
2. you can run it from the command line, or from the gui without modifying additional things.

I don't think that is too much to ask. If the user has to edit .profile or something else, I don't think it is acceptable. I will get complaints, "I installed cmake, and I run cmake and it says file not found." Saying that cmake is for developers is not true. People use CMake to build things like ParaView. They may not be developers at all, they just want to build some open source tool.

The crazy part, is that there is almost no direction from Apple on this. I searched and searched but was unable to find any docs on this from Apple. If someone could point to some direction from Apple on this I would appreciate it. At this point, we can find some apps installing in /usr/bin and others installing in other places. But, I really don't care where it goes as long as my two conditions are met. I certainly have not found any thing from Apple saying please do not install into /usr/bin. Of course if it is going to require changes to CPack, it will have to wait for 2.6. I am open to suggestions, I just have a requirement, which I don't think is unreasonable.
