Re: Xcode QT component?



Both works. I tend to prefer the library kind instead of the bundle  
kind. A bundle is a whole directory structure, which is fine for an  
application but overkill for a simple QT component. Just create a  
dynamic library and give it a .component extension. Works fine, but  
Apple seems to prefer the bundle kind.


The reason for the bundle approach is that Mach-O binaries should not contain a resource fork.

See QA1175.
http://developer.apple.com/qa/qa2001/qa1175.html

So, the bundled component is more technically correct. This does remind me that I do need to update TN2012 to be more up to date as it's still talking about building single Mach-O binaries.

Anyway, that's the scoop.
