Works the same on OSX as iOS, which is rather helpful. Remember that @executable_path expands to the directory the executable is in, so you often need one less ‘..’ than you think. I believe that the executable_path for embedded helpers is sane (ie it’s the path to the helper) but I would check that. Either way - find the helper, run ‘otool -L’ on it and see exactly what it prints out to make sure you’ve put the right bits in there, then go count double-dots. You can also use @loader_path which in many cases gives you the same thing as @executable_path but is better when frameworks link other frameworks as it gives you what you often really wanted. You can use @rpath too, but then you still have to work out what paths to embed in the binary to search which often ends up being @loader_path/../../something/else anyway, so you need to find the answer to your original question anyway. In here are a load of environment variables you can set which spew information about dynamic loading, which may tell you what’s been tried and hence why it wasn’t found. https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/technotes/tn2124/_index.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/DTS10003391-CH1-SECDYLD <https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/technotes/tn2124/_index.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/DTS10003391-CH1-SECDYLD> _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
