Really?! That sounds like an OS bug. NSTask should just return some POSIX error code if it can’t launch the process. What OS version is this? >>> Exception Type: EXC_BREAKPOINT (SIGTRAP) >>> Exception Codes: 0x0000000000000001, 0x000000009030c0b0 >>> Crashed Thread: 0 >>> >>> Application Specific Information: >>> *** NSTask: Task create for path '.../Resources/mysubtool' failed: 86, "Bad >>> CPU type in executable". Terminating temporary process. >>> *** multi-threaded process forked *** So, this says “Terminating temporary process”, which makes me think that this message/exception is coming from the forked process, not your app’s main process. GDB may be getting confused and treating this as though it were a crash in your app. If you run the app outside of Xcode (ie. from the Finder or a shell) does it crash? —Jens_______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list ([email protected]) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
