ppc-specific .a file



Hello,

I need to link a ppc-specific .a file in my Universal application project. I have searched the archives and tried to find the appropriate documentation. Previously, I was able to get this to work fine with my Universal Cocoa plug-in project by doing this:
- Add myAsmFile.a to project:
- Add setting: OTHER_LDFLAGS_ppc
with value: -fno-common -lmyAsmFile $(OTHER_LDFLAGS)
- In the Info panel for 'myAsmFile.a', uncheck target memberships.
(If the file had the target memberships checked, then the Intel version got a linker error.)


This morning I attempted to take the same steps to an application. The compile and link completed without errors or warnings, but the myAsmFile.a code isn't available at runtime (an object alloc returns nil). When I re-check the target memberships, the Intel version gives gives a linker warning (not an error) and the myAsmFile.a code is now available at runtime (for the ppc version).

I think that this solution works, but I was expecting the same behavior for both the plug-in and the application.

Is there something I should be doing differently?

Where can I find the documentation for OTHER_LDFLAGS_ppc options? It's mentioned under "Architecture-Specific Options" in Universal Binary Programming
Guidelines, Second Edition, but I can't find what the possible values are.


Both the Cocoa plug-in and the application use the 10.4 SDK, but the application's deployment target is 10.3.

Thanks,
Chuck
