The problem with THE_PROCESS_HAS_FORKED_AND_YOU_CANNOT_USE_THIS_COREFOUNDATION_FUNCTIONALITY___YOU_MUST_EXEC__() happened also to asymptote recently when it started using OpenGL/GLUT(in asymptote-1.50) . After some fruitless experimentation rearranging the fork() stuff, the upstream author settled for dumping fork() altogether and rewrote the code using pthreads. This was not completely trivial and did not work immediately, because Apple's GLUT insists on occupying the main thread, which was not the original structure of the code. But it is working nicely now, both on 10.4 and on 10.5 (asymptote-1.52).
OTOH, I don't think the asymptote author seriously followed the "exec yourself" suggestion which is given here, including sample code: <http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn2005/tn2083.html#SECDAEMONVSFRAMEWORKS> Apple describe this only for the case of a daemon, but their sample code could work also in a daemon-less situation. Could be worth while trying. -- Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SF.Net email is Sponsored by MIX09, March 18-20, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
