Let's try this again from my MP email so that it gets to lists ... sorry for
duplicate emails!
I've finally gotten to the point of working out a hack solution.
One can -not- modify '/usr/bin' without a lot of effort. But, one can modify
'/Applications/Xcode[-beta].app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin'
... and yes I know this is outside the scope of what MP does or is (likely)
willing to do. As noted: This is a hack to prove that it works.
In
'/Applications/Xcode[-beta].app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin'
I move the target executables from 'foo' to 'foo_orig', then create a script
'foo' that first calls 'foo_orig ${@}' then 'codesign' to update the signature
on the binary. The executables in '/usr/bin' just call those in
'/Applications/Xcode-beta.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin',
so my script is treated as a system provided executable for 'foo'. Initial
testing looks positive, regardless of how hacky this is.
Question: which executables am I targeting here? I think 'strip', 'lipo', and
'install_name_tool' are the obvious ones. is that all? Any others that need
this wrapping? - MLD
