Bug 177

Summary: Change "-framework FOO" to "-Wl,-framework,FOO"
Product: SDL Reporter: Max Horn <max>
Component: *don't know*Assignee: Ryan C. Gordon <icculus>
Status: RESOLVED FIXED QA Contact: Sam Lantinga <slouken>

Description Max Horn 2006-03-22 12:40:07 UTC 
The attached patch changes configure.in to use "-framework FOO" instead of "-Wl,-framework,FOO".

This avoid some issues with certain versions of libtool that do not handle -framework properly.
Some versions of libtool will try to reorder the two parts of the option, or render the 2nd part of the argument to the relative path of a non-existent library. 

Note: It is not enough if SDL uses a version of libtool that does this correctly, because these -framework options show up in "sdl-config --libs". Hence, some 3rd party apps which still ship with an old libtool have troubles compiling under Mac OS X.

This patch is in CVS, along with a clean version of ltmain.sh without the framework hacks.

Thanks!
