How to build a Mac OS X Installer Package from these files?

[AppleMacFinder]

Already tried many ways: pkgbuild, productbuild, PackageMaker, Packages application...

The structure of the flat package that I want to build:

Distribution - xml script
MacBookPro2011EFIUpdate.pkg - flat package
Resources - resources folder, contains language localizations

Flat package information:

id="com.apple.pkg.MacBookPro2011EFIUpdate" version="2.7.0.0.1.1330468277"

For example, my failure with productbuild:

productbuild error: Cannot copy package "MacBookPro2011EFIUpdate.pkg" into product
(Bundle-style package "MacBookPro2011EFIUpdate.pkg" is not supported.)

Please, try to build the installer package from these files: Link
And, if you succeed, please tell how you did that!

Hi,

instead of bundled package, you need a flat package with your component in it. Just put this .scap file in some folder (say "Parts" folder) then turn it into flat PKG file using command:

pkgbuild --root ./Parts --identifier com.whatever.something --install-location /System/Library/CoreServices/Firmware\ Updates/MacBookProEFIUpdate-2.7/ MacBookPro2011EFIUpdate.pkg

This will produce flat PKG file you'll need for the next command:

productbuild --distribution Distribution --resources Resources Installer.pkg

This command should package all elements into new, flat PKG file named "Installer.pkg". "Distribution" is of course a name of your file with settings for the installer and "Resources" is a directory with your resources.
At the end you can sign it with your Developer ID Installer, using productsign command and you're set!
Hope it helps!
