- Thread-topic: Framework library...
That's certainly an idea. The issue, however, is that I cannot believe that there isn't a way to create some kind of library/framework that is statically linked into the application. Our SDK already has a static Mach-O library, but I want to simplify things by creating an Objective-C frontend for it. Requiring them to include even more files seems to be complicating things. I'm convinced that I'm missing something extremely basic. Is there a way to build something like the lib*.a file, only using Objective-C/cocoa instead of Carbon?

I haven't been following this thread too closely, so forgive me if my
response has been mentioned already, or whatnot. Would it be sufficient to
include the framework inside of your application's bundle? OmniWeb does
this in the directory OmniWeb.app/Contents/Frameworks. This would still have
the framework on the end users machine, but they don't have to know about
it.
