I'm in the odd position of needing to intervene in the process of loading a Mach-O application's binary. I need to be able to load it into memory, do some preprocessing on it, then link and run it. I need to be able to do this without requiring any changes to an existing application; the goal is to be able to wrap an existing program to control its use during a demo period. I've looked at things like NSCreateObjectFileImageFromMemory, which sounds perfect, except it only works on bundles, which apparently doesn't include standard applications. Rebuilding an app with the - bundle flag to the linker makes it "almost" work, in that the app launches but the menu bar never appears, and keystrokes don't go to its windows. Does anyone have any thoughts on how this could be done? I've grabbed the dyld code, thinking I could create a custom version of dyld that would actually work for standard apps, but even unmodified, dyld doesn't actually compile and link on Xcode 2.1.
