macOS exec() Xcode 3.2 error

[a.periz]

I made an Application that uses execv() function to execute Mail.app in this way:

execv("/Applications/Mail.app/Contents/MacOS/Mail", NULL);

I use xcode 3.2 in SnowLeopard 10.6.1 and it build the app without any problem, but when the app run and call the execv() it crashes and in the console appears:

Running…
sharedlibrary apply-load-rules all
Data Formatters temporarily unavailable, will re-try after a 'continue'. (Can't find dlopen function, so it is not possible to load shared libraries.)
warning: check_safe_call: could not restore current frame

warning: Couldn't find minimal symbol for "_sigtramp" - backtraces may be unreliable

I tried to build it in SnowLeopard with xcode 3.1 and it runs without any problem...

Can somebody help me?

Thank you!

Andrea

If you're simply just trying to launch Mail, you should use Launch Services instead.

That link contains info on launching apps, working with Launch Services and fork/exec.
