Creating an alias


  • Subject: Creating an alias
  • From: Ben Mackin <email@hidden>

I am trying to create an alias of my program to place in the PDF Services
folder at runtime of my application. The problem is I don't see how to
create an alias using Cocoa. I saw something about creating a symlink, but
they break if the application is moved (I guess I could always just create a
new symlink at every run of my application, but an alias would be much
easier to deal with)

Or alternatively, is it possible to have the installer create an alias? I
tried just including an alias I made, but once it got installed, I just got
a 0kb file, not an alias.

Any pointers would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Ben
