My Carbon CFM application used to load plugins via GetSharedLibrary().
Now the application is converted to MachO, and it seems that the
libraries cannot be found any longer (error code -2804).

Where does a Carbon MachO application look for its plugins? What is
the search path?

PS:
I know that LoadDiskFragment() could be an alternative, but not in my
case, where the library name, not the library file name is given.

PS/2:
I found some glue code to call CFM (or PEF) functions from MachO, but
this seems not to be from Apple. Is there an official solution?

I was looking for this for someone else Apple has some examples

I think what you are looking for (or a good start) is here

Using CFBundle and CFPlugIn

http://developer.apple.com/documentation/ReleaseNotes/CoreFoundation/CFBu
ndleAndCFPlugIn.html

Also this is CFM to MachO to CFM it seems to cover mixing CFM with Mach-O

OK. If nobody else uses GetSharedLibrary(), I will write a bug report
to Apple. Maybe they have an idea or at least confirm that there is a
bug.
