Thanks. Ya that worked for 10.4 OS.

But I would like to know does @execuable_path supports all 10.3+, 10.4+ & 10.5+ OS?

AFAIR, @executable_path was introduced in 10.3, so yes.

& second question is what is exact meaning of "shared library identification name of a dynamic shared library" which is mentioned in man page of install_name_tool & what is different between shared library identification name & install name.


It's the path that's hard-coded into the dylib when it's built that says where it will be installed.

I think that the "identification name" is the thing that will be copied into images that link against a dylib, whereas the "install name" is such a copy. A library will have one identification name, but it may contain many install names. I don't know if that distinction is official or if I've just invented it by reading the docs a particular way, but that's how I see it.

Kind regards,

Alastair.
