OK, my app is completely self-contained. Drag to install, drag again to
update, drag to trash to uninstall, no extra stuff (except prefs) left
behind.
Now I want to add functionality provided by a 3rd-party library, and that
library is only provided as a set of 6 dylibs whose installer puts them into
/Library/FooLib/lib. I don't *want* to have an installer, and I'd prefer not
to deal with weak linking.
Is there any way to:
- convert a dylib to a static library;
- or set up the build so that the app loads these dylibs from
Resources/FooLib relative to the current bundle, (or ../Resources/FooLib
relative to the current executable);
- or set up the build to statically link a dynamic library.
Yes, I will ask the vendor for a build with static libs. But if they don't
see the need, I'd like to know if I have self-service options. The app
already requires 10.4 BTW. And if any Apple employees want to answer this
(privately or not), I do have 10.5 installed and switch back and forth
between 10.4/2.4.1 and 10.5/3.0 pretty frequently ;-)
