I encourage the use of basic search...

Search terms: create cab file mac os

Second google result: http://www.cabextract.org.uk/

I believe the OP wants to create a CAB. If I'm not mistaken, cabextract will only extract existing CAB files.

However, the link you gave did link to something called LCAB available in source form at http://ohnopub.net/~ohnobinki/lcab/.

Download the source from the website, extract it, open Terminal and then:

$ cd <put path of directory where you extracted the source here>
$ ./configure
$ make

This is make an lcab executable file in the same directory.

The usage from the Terminal or a shell script of this lcab executable is:

usage: lcab [options] inputfiles outputfile.cab

lcab will create a Cabinet File from inputfiles.
Inputfiles can also be directories together with option -r.

Options:
     -r        loop recursive through directories
     -n        create files without pathnames
     -q        be quiet!

Perhaps something like libmspack? If the LGPL bit is a problem for you, you could just create a framework to link it into.

Or maybe the question was too specific, and you really want to know how to make an installer on the Mac..? Just checking...

In mac os x , how to create .cab file just like windows os .

I am very sorry that i didn't express my real goal because of my bad programming cability.

Really, the situation is like this: i have a copy of win source code that has 2 projects, one will make a .exe file after running, and during it building, it will use the second project's exe file, just like making .cab file. After that the first project will make the third exe in specified direcroty.The third exe is what we want.

Now i want to do the same work in mac os, but i don't know how to do it ?
