Header-only frameworks


  • Subject: Header-only frameworks

Dear All,

I'm trying to package my header-only C++ template library as a framework for maximum compatibility and ease of deployment. Alternatively any method that is fairly easy to implement for library users i.e. minimizes the number of fiddly build settings that needed to be set.

All public headers are in a folder. All internal etc. headers are in a subfolder. The public headers should be included like this

#include <macstl/vec.h>

This is compatible with Apple's framework inclusion scheme, and will work if people install the library headers in /usr/includes like most Unices do.

But here's the wrinkle -- as a header-only library, there is no dylib created. When a client then adds a reference to my framework, it compiles OK but fails at the link stage because of the absence of a dylib.

So...

1. Can I put a static lib stub or some other trickery in place of the dylib and the linker work?
2. In the get info for a file ref, what is the difference between the file type "wrapper.framework" and "wrapper.framework.static"?
3. Any other file type e.g. folder or wrapper will do this? i.e. a sort of "this is a system header directory" which causes a folder reference to be considered for the -I system includes compiler option??
4. Any other clues and advice to achieve what I want?


Cheers, Glen Low
