now i have another project, that would need linking one of my

can this be done ?
No; you can't statically link something to a dynamic library, and I
don't think there is a way to create a static framework. (You can
create a static library, but not a static framework.) What you might
want to do instead is consider
excuse me for my ignorance but i don't understand why you call a
foundation tool, a dynamic library ...
A framework is a dynamic library (MH_DYLIB). Presumably, he was not
referring to the executable.
relocating your framework to a standard path, e.g.
/Library/Frameworks, and using it from there. You shouldn't need to
change the framework's installation path to do this; if you put a
framework into /Library/Frameworks, the linker will probably find it
without any problems.
yes this works, but installing frameworks to this location requires (i
think) a package with an installer (which i often hate :-( )
So does installing a "foundation tool" to /usr/local/bin. What's your
point? If you plan on distributing via DarwinPorts or Fink then they
have suitable mechanisms for installing such stuff.
Another alternative is to simply use an application bundle, and create
a symlink or shell script wrapper for convenience that calls into your
application bundle, then you get the encapsulation and you can use
@executable_path style load commands.
