Hi.
I’m developing that privileged daemon, mostly a C++ unix-style thing, that will be started from a System-preferences panel, and kept alive by launchd.
The SMJobBless() API will copy my daemon to the /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/ and will run it from there.
My daemon must link against some 3rd-party private framework that must reside on disk for license reasons. I can’t install the framework in normal search-paths /Library/Frameworks or ~/Library/Frameworks, again for licensing reasons. The framework needs to be private.
What I had in mind, is to have my daemon packaged as a normal OS-X code-bundle, with private framework embedded in its bundle (along with other resources).
However — If I understand right, the binary of the daemon, copied to /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools will not be able to find its framework in runtime - or maybe it can?
Is there some combination of @runpath @loder_path and other link-time magic I could use to achieve that?
Motti Shneor.
