[ANN] V4RB MACHO uploaded 2.2 b6

[Dave Addey]

Hi Ruslan,

> Note, V4RB.rbx in fact contains 3 plugins!  Carbon, Macho and Windows.

Okay.  What I meant was that I am using the plugin from the new MachO 2.2b6
archive.

> Hmm, so RELEASE app do not work also for you ?

Unfortunately not.  After building the application, I put the components in
MyApp.App/Contents/VComponents/ - is this right?  It didn't work.

> Frankly saying I have not catch yet way which you describe.

Sorry!  It may not even be possible, but it sounded good :-)  I'll explain
further.

Yes.  (I have done some plugin development myself before, for MachO and
Win32.)

Right.  Can the path (relative to @executable_path) be defined by the plugn
at run-time?  I.e. Can it be set when the application runs, rather than when
you build the plugin?  I've only ever done this from within REALbasic using
declares and @executable_path, not from within Xcode in a plugin, so I don't
know if this is possible or not.

Something like this:

Look at the last section on the page.
