Well, when I’m just using C++ and SDL and I just have to package in the SDL frameworks, that’s totally fine and everything and I like how it works. The issue is that here I’m packaging an entire =windows install= of the mono framework which is ~200MB. And I’m definitely not using all of that framework. It just seems silly that the OSX download should have to be 150MB larger than the windows one, given that I’m including .dlls in the windows one as well and the OSX one at this point IS just simply emulating the windows one through wine. But hey, at least it works :)

I wouldn’t call it a “downside,” that’s how many OS X apps are deployed, with relevant frameworks included. It’s how apps work without having to install things, or suffering from library dependencies.

*takes off OS X dev hat*

Bookmarked for later playing on my MBAir!
