Mark,
Let me be certain I understand correctly:
- eSellerate is providing you with a library that you need to link into
your application.
- The library generated by the CodeWarrior Mach-O tools.
If this is the case, presumably the CodeWarrior Mach-O tools should be
producing a well-formed Mach-O library that ld is able to link. No
conversion should be necessary, you should be able to include it in
your project's build process, specify any link parameters required, and
be done. On the other hand, if the library is not well-formed, it
should emit link errors.
Testing has been done in the past that indicates the CodeWarrior Mach-O
tools produced well-formed Mach-O libraries. However, there is always
the possibility of an error, either in the specific library you are
using or in the tools generically, at which point what you are seeing
is a bug report for eSellerate or ultimately Metrowerks to correct.
Apple's engineering staff can determine what the problem with the
library might be if we have a copy of it and a report of Xcode error
report when you try to use it. However, your license agreement with
eSellerate may not allow you to send us the library for analysis.
If you could send me the build log from Xcode when it chokes on this
file, that will help determine what the situation is.
thanks
Godfrey

I may have missed earlier discussions on this (unfortunately, there
doesn't seem to be any searchable archives), but Xcode seems to choke
on a CW generated .a file. Specifically the libeSellerate.a (from
eSellerate).
1. Do we have to do some sort of conversion when dealing with CW
mach-o files? Or is this a bug with Xcode?
2. If it's the former, is there a reason why Xcode doesn't offer to do
this for us instead of just complaining?
Thanks.
