Sorry that I didn't see this sooner. I wrote an article a little while ago that details one way of doing this, specifically loading and using a CFM library (as opposed to a plugin) in a Mach-o application as well as what you need to do to pass callbacks to the CFM library. It sounds like you've already found what you needed though. Here's the article for reference (including references to some old mailing list posts):

Hello,

We have a large legacy application that was CFM-based. It is now Universal (meaning, Mach-O) and we ran into a plug-in problem.

Is it possible for a Mach-O PPC application to call a CFM plug-in? We know how to do the opposite (CFM calling Mach-O), because that's how we use Cocoa technologies in our CFM app.

We believe this is possible because Adobe Photoshop CS2 is a Mach-O application, yet it supports CFM plugins (the vast majority of PS plugins out there are CFM).

For us, we crash right when we call the plugin. Here are some excerpts from our code. Basically, we find the disk fragment and we load it, then we try to execute it (and crash). There are no errors, we get a disk fragment and a pointer to some data, but we can't execute it.

Any clues?

Thanks,
Philippe
