Other options like `.tar.gz` would carry over file permissions like the executable bit and might be a better option for giving the program to the customer (though I don't know if `.tar.gz` is the preferred one on Mac OS or if they like something else).
Yes that's what I've been thinking... This customer certainly is not capable of doing that
I created the zip in the Mac VM to make sure not to loose properties/attributes.
I'm not sure if mac-user (after unzipping) is supposed to double-click the file without extension or the .command file to start the program?
I think in my first attempt I only send the customer the file without extension (zipped in Mac VM) so without the .command file
So also still wondering if it normally is enough to only send the compiled executable without extension (just 1 file) in a zipfile created in my Mac VM?
