Hi there,

Thanks a lot for this project. I'm new to the world of Apple signing and notarisation and is a very helpful resource.

I've created an OpenFrameworks app which utilises ffmpeg. I include a pre-built ffmpeg binary in the app's data folder.

I have mac.dist.include = bin/data included in my Makefile. Initially the notarisation failed as ffmpeg hadn't been signed. So I tried to include it using mac.dist.progs/mac.dist.libs in the Makefile, but couldn't figure out the correct way to get it copied across from my bin/data folder.

In my Makefile I added mac.dist.libs = bin/data/ffmpeg but at the codesign stage of make app dist-dmg I get the error:

===== codesign
codesign --sign "Developer ID Application: <My Developer ID>" --force --options runtime --timestamp build/dist/MyOFApp-1.0.0/bin/data/ffmpeg
build/dist/MyOFApp-1.0.0/bin/data/ffmpeg: No such file or directory

If I instead try to include mac.dist.libs = data/ffmpeg then I get:

===== distdir
mkdir -p build/dist/MyOFApp-1.0.0
rsync -a --exclude ".*"  \
                MyOFApp.app data/ffmpeg bin/data build/dist/MyOFApp-1.0.0
rsync: link_stat "<path to app>/MyOFApp/data/ffmpeg" failed: No such file or directory (2)

If I create a folder at the root of my project called data containing ffmpeg then it gets copied over correctly and the signing and notarization works.

I can see that the issue is just where the file gets copied to and from but from reading through the makefile I can't figure it out. Do I need to override mac.dist.dir or mac.dist.subdir?

Is there a suggested pattern for including files from bin/data to be signed?

Any pointers appreciated

Many thanks
