osx - How to open GUI app with different $HOME path in Mac OS X -


i'm wondering how might go opening mac os x application using different $home path.

specifically, i'm trying start browser , have different sessions, don't interfere each other.

i tried home=/users/daniel/test open /applications/firefox.app/ via bash, didn't work (opened using existing session ~/library). man open didn't offer help.

i tried creating different user , did sudo su mickey -c 'open /applications/firefox.app/' andsudo su mickey -lc 'open /applications/firefox.app/', hoping @ least launch app different user (works in linux), again no donut, , man su doesn't here either. still opened using ~/library stuff.

i know there's funkiness environment variables , bash vs. wm, , i'm guessing need plist-y magic, i'm not sure how go it.

any ideas?

tia, daniel :)

you can try using launchctl. see daemons , services programming guide. need create plist one-time job. there username key (see launchd.plist man).

linux - Does gcc have any options to add version info in ELF binary file? -

i mean whether gcc can insert source code version infor elf binary section or similar. not want change source file, add info gcc option in makefile. you can emit version info text file, turn text file object file statically link executable. the first step simple have write code: script or write version info in format plain text file. write makefile rule produce version.o version.txt, using objcopy . you'll have object file 2 useful symbols defined in it: beginning , end of textual version info. add generated object executable, , you'll able access version 2 ways: running strings on binary, or writing code in application print version string (you'll need declare start , end symbols variables in header file).
