Title Body

I am developing a plug-in bundle , say MyPlugIn.bundle for an application , say BigApp.app . This bundle requires a dylib , say MyPlugIn.bundle/Contents/Resources/library.dylib . I have relocated paths for library.dylib, as I would have done for a simple application bundle: $ otool -L MyPlugIn.bundle/Contents/MacOS/MyPlugIn MyPlugIn.bundle/Contents/MacOS/MyPlugIn: @executable_path/../Resources/library.dylib (compatibility version 0.0.0, current version 0.0.0) [...] $ otool -L MyPlugIn.bundle/Contents/Resources/library.dylib MyPlugIn.bundle/Contents/Resources/library.dylib: @executable_path/../Resources/library.dylib (compatibility version 0.0.0, current version 0.0.0) [...] But BigApp.app fails to load this bundle, and Mac OS X's Console.app logs what follows: 19/01/10 15:42:59 BigApp[51516] Error loading /Library/Application Support/BigApp/Plug-Ins/MyPlugIn.bundle/Contents/MacOS/MyPlugIn: dlopen(/Library/Application Support/BigApp/Plug-Ins/MyPlugIn.bundle/Contents/MacOS/MyPlugIn, 262): Library not loaded: @executable_path/../Resources/library.dylib Referenced from: /Library/Application Support/BigApp/Plug-Ins/MyPlugIn.bundle/Contents/MacOS/MyPlugIn Reason: image not found It seems that @executable_path is not replaced by the MyPlugIn.bundle executable path but by the BigApp.app executable path . Any workaround to that, without absolute path and so that it will work on Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) ? Thanks.
