This is going off-topic a bit, but might be pertinent?
I offer it here in the hope that others may find it useful, anyway...

A thing I have found handy in the past, is to use:
extern int _NSGetExecutablePath(char *buf, unsigned long *bufsize);
This (apparently undocumented) call allows you to find out the actual path to you executable, and since you "know" the layout of your bundle, that allows you to generate the "true" paths to all your related .conf files etc...
In this way, wherever (or however) the app is invoked, and whatever default environment or path it inherits, you can still figure out where your config and settings are stored.
Is it possible you app dies simply because, when clicking the icons, cwd() is set to "/" ?
Anyway, fwiw, something like this might help:
int status = -1;
char *given_path = malloc(MAXPATHLEN + 2);
if (!given_path) return status;
pathsize = MAXPATHLEN + 2;
result = _NSGetExecutablePath(given_path, &pathsize);
if (result == 0)
{ /* OK, we got something - now try and resolve the real path... */
if (realpath(given_path, pname) != NULL)
{
if ((access(pname, 0) == 0))
status = 0; /* file exists, return OK */
}
}
free (given_path);
return status;
I wouldn't use this code as is, it's a bit sloppy, but you get the idea.
