I have a project created with Xcode 2.x under Tiger that I've upgraded to Xcode 3 in Leopard. It weak links a couple frameworks to allow the app to launch on 10.3.9. This all worked fine when built under Tiger. When I build with Xcode 3 under Leopard and launch the app on 10.3.9 I get a number of dyld errors of the form:

undefined reference to .objQuartzCore

The app launches fine under Tiger and Leopard. I'm specifying the weak link by adding statements like the following to the "Other Linker Flags" build setting.

-weak_framework QuartzCore

How do I make this work with Xcode 3? FWIW, all of my errors seem to occur when loading Obj-C elements of QuartzCore.

I've just reported a bug (or at least it seems like a bug to me) in the Leopard linker that may be related to the cause of your problem (rdar://5627651). My problem was that I found that after linking the resulting linked object was expecting things like objc_msgSendSuper in the wrong library. For me it was referencing objc_msgSendSuper in the WebKit framework. (You can find out where the dynamic linker will look for symbols by using "nm -m".) It doesn't seem to matter when running on Tiger or Leopard but on 10.3 it would complain.


To workaround the problem I added libobjc to the list of libraries to link against and that seems to fix the problem.

I'm not convinced it's related to your problem but it might be.
