It's OK for us to discuss where apps can find their prefs, utility files
etc, what about custom frameworks? I have several apps which share a number
of frameworks (and which therefore cannot reside inside an individual .app's
bundle). The way the link- and run-time systems operate, these frameworks
need to be stored in either a hard-coded location or a well-known location.
How does that square with drag-from-CD installation and drag-to-trash
uninstallation?
Or does someone have a link-time trick which allows dyld to find frameworks
using relative paths, such as in a sub-directory of the directory containing
the .app?
Or maybe even a trick to allow an app whose frameworks cannot be found by
dyld to get a chance to locate the frameworks itself and reconfigure its
link information...
