Question by Bip901 · Aug 18, 2017 at 04:35 PM · buildmacplatformsshortcut

Creating a desktop & start menu shortcut, and Mac support

I have 3 questions, feel free to answer any question you can :)

  • How can I create a desktop shortcut & a start menu icon [Windows 7] / tile [Windows 10] when the user downloads my game?

  • I want to build my game to Mac so Mac users will be able to enjoy it as well, but I have a PC [with Windows 7 on it] and it seems like I don't have "Mac" as a platform option in the build settings.

  • Will the Windows line endings in my scripts be a problem when building for Mac?

~Thanks, Bip.

For anything outside unity you need 3rd party software, some installation wizard...
Building for $$anonymous$$ac needs a $$anonymous$$ac.
No, scripts working on Windows will also work on $$anonymous$$ac.

Thanks for answering! Do you know any easy way I can create an installation wizard myself? Btw, if the line endings don't matter why are there different types of them?

@hexagonius Hey, I just installed Unity's $$anonymous$$ac building module and I CAN build for $$anonymous$$ac even though I don't have a $$anonymous$$ac! But I still can't check if it works properly since I don't have a $$anonymous$$ac...

  1. You need to use an installer, e.g. InstallShield

  2. You do not need a Mac to build for OSX. Run the Unity installer again and make sure you selected Mac standalone as one of the installed build targets.

  3. No problem at all, because you'll be compiling it into CIL on your PC anyway.
