Omnis5 – Using dylib — example using a framework.
HI Doug,
I’ve been following updates to Xojo (formerly RealBasic), they have an equivalent call, that works for Mac AND Windows. On the Mac platform, this allows you to call various OS related frameworks natively – unlocking a huge amount of routines.
See github.com/macoslib/macoslib which creates a bunch of Xojo “declares” for MacOS routines to access eg Bonjour services, Networking stacks, threads, Elevated Privileges authorisation etc.
I’m sure that having the ability to elevate privileges, or to enumerate bonjour services etc would be useful to someone … I’ve just never thought about it until now.
Regards,
Paul.
