Pete,
What a coincidence, I want to do this as well! :)

is there a procedure for getting PB to include a framework in the .app

here of libxml, I don't want to send my users down the unix route of
having to install this library or that library...
I tried this and it works... almost. Start with this:
http://developer.apple.com/techpubs/macosx/DeveloperTools/
ProjectBuilder/ProjectBuilder.help/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/
Frameworks/Embedding_a_Application.html
This are the docs I've followed to add a framework to my project. It
works... partially: I followed the steps very carefully and the only
problem seems with the Copy Files phase. Supposedly, the Framework in
question should be copied to the Contents/Frameworks/ directory, but it
doesn't.
The documentation doesn't state clearly whether the Frameworks
directory within the app is automatically generated prior to copying
the Framework there. It should, I guess... no?
However, if I create the 'Frameworks' directory within 'Contents' and
copy the framework manually, everything is perfect. Of course, I add
the Framework and directory manually *after* PB has generated the app.
No dependencies are created externally, which is exactly what I wanted.
I know that because I copied the app to my TiPB, which doesn't have a
clue about the Framework I'm using :)
So the docs do not tell the whole story, it seems. Perhaps the Copy
Files phase fails because the Frameworks directory isn't there. If this
is so... what do I have to do to create this directory in a process
[generating the app] that is already fully automatic?
BTW... I tried two things: in PB, I placed my Framework inside the
Frameworks folder. Nothing. Then I tried to place it in the Other
Frameworks folder. Nope. So at this point, this "hidden" step puzzles
me.
Am I leaving something really obvious aside? Does PB need an extra step
to make the Frameworks folder to be generated prior to the Copy Files
phase?
I'd love to know...
