Hello
I want to use Growl 1.1.2 from inside my C++ code but it always crashes when I use the Growl-WithInstaller.framework .
I use Metrowerks CodeWarrior on OS X.4 tiger since I have a huge Source Base, which, unfortunately, cannot be migrated to XCode within a realistic timeframe.
But growl itself works nice, sends messages and so, and a port to QT is emerging soon.
Unfortunately, when growl 1.1.2 is not installed on Tiger, the application, which should launch its own installer, crashes somwhere inside growl and I wonder If someone could help me, thereby keeping this information in this forum for everyone else who might run into the same problem.
Besides I have a lot of NULL assignments there but as far as the documentation tells, this should work.
In short, what I have is:
// begin code snippet
mDelegate = (struct Growl_Delegate *) malloc(sizeof(struct Growl_Delegate));
InitGrowlDelegate(mDelegate);
mDelegate->applicationName = CFStringCreateWithPascalString(NULL, LStr255 string("StingRay Client"), CFStringGetSystemEncoding());
mDelegate->growlInstallationWindowTitle=NULL;
mDelegate->growlInstallationInformation=NULL;
mDelegate->growlUpdateWindowTitle=NULL;
mDelegate->growlUpdateInformation=NULL;
Boolean result = Growl_SetDelegate(mDelegate);
CFStringRef eventTitle = CFStringCreateWithPascalString(NULL, LStr255("Hello this is Growl"), CFStringGetSystemEncoding());
size_t namelen = 255;
char hostname[255];
int result = gethostname(hostname, namelen);
CFStringRef eventDescriptions[] = { CFStringCreateWithPascalString(NULL, LStr255("on Host"), CFStringGetSystemEncoding()), CFStringCreateWithCString(NULL, hostname, CFStringGetSystemEncoding()), };
CFArrayRef eventDescriptionArray = CFArrayCreate(NULL,(const void **) eventDescriptions, sizeof(eventDescriptions) / sizeof(eventDescriptions[0]), &kCFTypeArrayCallBacks);
CFStringRef cfString = CFStringCreateByCombiningStrings (NULL, eventDescriptionArray, CFSTR("\n"));
Growl_NotifyWithTitleDescriptionNameIconPriorityStickyClickContext(
eventTitle,
cfString,
eventTitle,
mNotificationIcon,
mGlobalPriority,
mIsAlwaysSticky,
mGlobalClickedCallback);
// end code snipped
So as soon as Growl_NotifyWithTitleDescriptionNameIconPriorityStickyClickContext is called, my application crahes.
So can somebody help? I know CW is dead but maybe we keep our bread alive.
