I have a x86_64 app that I would like to have optionally read Skype status messages. However, the 5 year old skype mac framework is 32-bit, and if there is a way to have that compile within a 64-bit app, I haven't found it.
My question is, basically, how should I go about doing this? I really only need to get and set the USERSTATUS AWAY/ONLINE string.
Using AppleScript, a "Should Skype allow this" dialog pops up... every time. This is highly inefficient and downright irritating.
Advice?
I'm considering writing a 32-bit CLI wrapper, but that seems like overkill.
