I am researching a largish port of our Windows application to OS X/Cocoa.
One question involves the architecture of our application. Under Windows,
we
have packaged a number of our modules as DLLs (Dynamic link libraries). We
use these in two ways: first, we use the normal Windows implicit loading,
such that if a module depends on a DLL, the Windows loader will search for
and load the DLL, and resolve the references (and recurse down if the DLL
relies on another).
-> Framework
The second method that we also use is explicit loading
of DLLs: we load the DLLs ourself, and look for specific function exports.
-> Bundle
I also have other questions
pertaining to how best to go about making Project Builder projects for
these
Create a project and add the frameworks and bundles as separate targets.
Note: I am primarily a Windows programmer (though I tend to stick to
low-level, more generic constructs), new to Cocoa, and don't have much in
the way of Mac chops yet. Please have pity on me -- redemption may yet be
possible.
Nobody's perfect :-)
