You're aware that Xcode can't produce CFM binaries?
Of course. I could have been clearer I guess, but I assumed most
people would assume that the Xcode side of things was Mach-O. Too
many assumptions, I apologise for that. I mentioned CFM because the
app built with Codewarrior is CFM and not Mach-O ( which it could
have been ), and I'm interested in the difference between what is
happening with the CW/CFM shared lib and the Xcode/Mach-O framework.
The reason the app is still CW/CFM after all this time is that we
still support OS 9 for it. I'm now looking into building a Universal
version for those with Intel machines, because our next product,
which is already Universal, has been delayed.
Anyway, I'm even more interested to know now, because I have come
across the same problem in another shared library I'm converting, and
this time I don't think there is any way to restructure the code
without things turning into a major effort, which may unfortunately
prove to be the tipping point as to whether I finish updating this
application.
With my app a certain system is split between the app and the shared
library. This is because part of the system needs access to items in
the app. I don't believe there is any part of the system in the
shared library that tries to call functions in the app part directly,
but I'm not really sure, most of this stuff has been working for
about 6 years without problems and I can't remember all the details
just now.
I'm really interested to know why the CFM version links and works
fine, but the Mach-O version doesn't link. I think there are headers
brought in which relate to source files which are only part of app,
but why isn't this a problem with the CFM shared library ? Can I get
similar behaviour with the Mach-O build ?
If anyone has any insight, I would really appreciate hearing it.
Sorry if I'm not very clear about what I'm describing, I don't fully
understand the behaviour of CFM in this situation so it's hard for me
to be more explicit.
