framework linking against other frameworks



Hi,

I asked this before on macosx-dev and cocoa-dev, but was referred to this list.

I need some advice for designing a rather complicated build structure for an objective-c / cocoa project:

- I have a framework semiBlogBase, which is used both in an application semiBlog and also in various plugins to this application. The idea is that the framework defines the datamodel for the application, the super classes which the plugins extend, and also provides some helperclasses that can be used by the various plugins.

- semiBlogBase links against a number of external frameworks, e.g. Redland and an XMLRPC framework. I have not included the external frameworks in semiBlogBase; it is not an umbrella framework or something like that. Instead, these external frameworks are included in the application.

- Now, it seems that all of the plugins, who link against semiBlogBase, also have to link against all the external frameworks, even if they don't directly reference any code from these frameworks.

- Is that so? Can I somehow get around it? Or am I just doing it wrong?

Any thoughts appreciated!

Cheers,
Knud
