Re: Trying to link with non-Mach-O file

I am a Lotus Notes programmer. Most of this work has been in the Wintel world. I am trying to port some Notes API C-language code to OS X 10.4, using Xcode. I have the latest versions of all Mac software on a new Mac Mini. The problem is that when I link my C program to the installed Notes libraries, the link operation fails. The error I get is "not a Mach-O file". Notes itself runs fine on the Mini, so its binaries are working.


What tool can I use to tell me about the contents of the Notes binaries? I have tried nm, which tells me that the file I am examining is not an object file. I have tried otool, which tells me nothing. The file I am trying to link with is named NotesLib, and I believe that it was a valid link library, although this may have been back in the OS9 / CodeWarrior days.


This is most likely a CFM shared library.  You cannot link with it using Xcode, but you can write code that dynamically loads it and calls its entry points, using Apple's sample code CFM_MachO_CFM.

This library will not work on an Intel-based Mac.
