I have included a custom executable in my Cocoa Application named
zip which is the standard command line utility bundled with Mac OS
X Tiger.
Any reason why you don't want to use the one installed with the OS?
The file is meant to zip the contents of a temporary folder in the
~/temp/somefolder.
Not sure wether you make your users happy if you add a folder for
your application specific stuff in such a random location. For
temporary stuff, /tmp is a good choice and you can trust for it to
exist, to be writeable and almost trust for it to be local (unlike
Home).
Is there any known documentation about doing this?
The quickest, most simple way:
err = system("rm -f /tmp/somefolder.zip; cd /path/to/my/sourcefolder
&& /usr/bin/zip -r /tmp/somefolder.zip myfiles*");
NSTask
As suggested by others already, recommendable if you want to interact
with the executable.
