Thanks a lot !!! This indeed got me going. Thanks so much. I just 
successfully built my first framework FBAccess on Solaris 8 following 
your instructions. However, while building a second framework 
MyTestFrame that links against the first one (FBAccess), I got the 
following error:

bash-2.03$ make
Making build-headers for framework MyTestFrame...
Making all for framework MyTestFrame...
 Compiling file TestController.m ...
gcc: cannot specify -o with -c or -S and multiple compilations
make[1]: *** [/Build/MyTestFrame/shared_obj/TestController.o] Error 1
make: *** [MyTestFrame.all.framework.variables] Error 2

I thought I had understood the creation of framework makefiles. Now I 
encounter this new problem. Any idea what this means? Here is the 
GNUmakefile for the second framework. Looks ok to me.

include $(GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES)/common.make
GNUSTEP_BUILD_DIR = /Build/MyTestFrame

ifeq ($(FOUNDATION_LIB), apple)
   GNUSTEP_INSTALLATION_DIR = /
else
   GNUSTEP_INSTALLATION_DIR = $(GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT)
endif

FRAMEWORK_NAME = MyTestFrame
MyTestFrame_HEADER_FILES = TestController.h
MyTestFrame_HEADER_FILES_INSTALL_DIR = MyTestFrame
MyTestFrame_OBJC_FILES = TestController.m
MyTestFrame_C_FILES =
LIBRARY_NAME = libMyTestFrame
VERSION = 1.0.0
ADDITIONAL_OBJCFLAGS += -Wno-parentheses

# linking against frameworks
ADDITIONAL_INCLUDE_DIRS += -framework FBAccess
MyTestFrame_FRAMEWORK_LIBS += -framework FBAccess
LIBRARIES_DEPEND_UPON += -framework FBAccess
MyTestFrame_RESOURCE_FILES =
MyTestFrame_LOCALIZED_RESOURCE_FILES =
MyTestFrame_LANGUAGES =

# linking against addional stuff (e.g. FBCAccess)
# put this in GNUmakefile.preamble
#include GNUmakefile.preamble

include $(GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES)/framework.make
