One of the reason Lazarus does not use resources like Delphi, is that there is no support for Mac OS X yet (elf is supported by fpcres, as you mentioned). Does your library support that?

No because I thought that on os x it was better to store resources as files inside the app bundle since it's more "native" (even if no one forbids us to store them in mach-o files). The latter could be useful for console applications, though. Moreover, I am afraid that lipo could "double" resources when making an universal binary since it includes both the ppc and i386 executable, while using app bundles you can store resources only once (however I couldn't check). Since the library can be easily extended with a new writer, it should be doable without many problems.

bye,
Giulio
