OK, so how about this:
---- Cut here ----
cd /tmp
cat > tst.m <<EOF
#include <Cocoa/Cocoa.h>
int main (void) {
NSAutoreleasePool *pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
OSStatus error;
ProcessSerialNumber ourPSN;
NSApplicationLoad();
GetCurrentProcess(&ourPSN);
TransformProcessType(&ourPSN, kProcessTransformToForegroundApplication);
SetFrontProcess(&ourPSN);
NSAppleScript *as = [[NSAppleScript alloc] initWithSource:@"display dialog
\"hello\""];
NSDictionary *errorDict = nil;
[as executeAndReturnError:&errorDict];
if (errorDict) {
NSLog(@"%@", errorDict);
return 1;
}
[pool release];
return 0;
}
EOF
gcc tst.m -framework Cocoa -o tst
./tst
------------------
Works for me. The critical line seems to be the TransformProcessType() call,
and the problem appears to be related to AppleScript rather than merely the
window server connection.
Kind regards,
Alastair.
