Frameworks as opposed to Libraries under OSX
Posted: Mon May 28, 2018 9:06 am
Hi Guys,
I help out with the Orx Portable Game Engine project, which supports multiple OSes and IDEs. A Codelite build is provided for all OSes.
We have noticed a problem with Codelite not supporting the -framework switch for MacOSX frameworks.
Our Codelite project has these options, for example:
In this example, there are some linker options, and the Libs contains both a mixture of Libraries and Frameworks.
Compiling the project will give a linker error:
Which is correct because there is no such library, but rather a framework.
Codelite can be made to work by bypassing it’s options, and feeding handwritten parameters to the compiler directly (using the linker options) with:
..and removing the Foundation.framework from the specified Libs.
Is this possible in any way to get framework support in Codelite, or could it be supported in a future version?
