first i tried bsd sockets. they doesn't seem to difficult and there
are quite some tutorials on the net, also they support ipv6, but
unfortunately they are implemented in the kernel framework which is
mach-o. there is some sample code that shows how to call a macho-o
library from cfm, but that is something i'd like to avoid.
No Mac OS X API supports CFM and IPv6.
ah, thanks a lot. that information probably saved me a lot of time for
experiments.
You will have to shim to Mach-O to make this work. My general advice
for you is not to shim each API in the target framework, but to shim
the interface between the app and plug-in.
er, since english is not my mother tongue i don't understand the word
'shim' in this context. i looked it up in my dictionary, but that
didn't make any sense at all :-)
could you explain what you mean by 'shim the interface between the app
and the plugin'?
anyway, i downloaded the CallMachOFramework example. does that use the
technique you refer to?
regards and thanks for your patience in advance,
