Linking Growl Framework in Garbage Collected Leopard App

[cacaosteve]

I can't link against the Growl framework in my garbage collected Leopard app unless Growl is garbaged collected as well. So, I compiled Growl as garbaged collected. Now, it looks like System Preferences doesn't accept this:

10/26/07 9:46:21 PM com.apple.launchd[94] ([0x0-0x257257].com.Growl.GrowlHelperApp[7410]) Exited abnormally: Illegal instruction

Anyone linking against Growl on a garbage collected app?

All of Growl shouldn't be garbage-collected. System Preferences wouldn't be a likely GC candidate because then all preference panes would have to be GC (it's not mix and match opt-in.) Only the framework itself should be recompiled, and really you should wait until we provide a GC variant of the framework (all 3rd party frameworks are going to have such an adjustment phase.)

If you want to build the framework by hand to make it gc, that's cool. If any changes are required, let us know, we'll gladly accept patches.

I am compiling Growl-WithInstaller.framework, course. The solution is to compile it with GC on, then copy the non-GC Growl.prefPane.zip into Growl-WithInstaller.framework/Versions/A/Resources.

It works!!!!!

No of course but glad to hear it works. Updated framework variants are on my schedule, but won't be until 1.1.3.
