Which SDK version are you compiling against?

Hi Greg, the project is built against to MacOSX10.2.8.sdk.

May I ask why? Mac OS X 10.5 will be out in less than two days. Mac OS X 10.4 has been out longer than normal due to the delay in releasing Leopard. At this point I believe the vast majority of people using Mac OS X are using 10.3 or later, and the number using 10.2 will only decline in the future. By the time you have a product to release you'll be supporting four major releases of Mac OS X, and the farther back you go the more work is involved in developing multiple code paths and testing your entire application on every version of the OS you support. You may even have to work around bugs in 10.2 that have been fixed in 10.3 or later.


I don't know your market or your product, but unless you know you have a significant market among 10.2 users (and some people do) I wouldn't even think about supporting 10.2 this late in the game. I'd use the time I saved to make a better product for the customers who are using 10.4 and 10.5 instead.

I've also
tried with 10.4u.sdk (for project and target), and keep
MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.2, but I still get "Undefined symbols" link
error in XCode. I think I just missed some basic issues.
