Framework support in makefiles

[Stefan Urbanek]

Hi,

How can I cleanly link to a framework with gnustep-make? Currently I am using 
ADDITIONAL_*_LIBS = -lSomething. Why I am linking to a 'library' if I want to 
link to a 'framework'? (Yes, I know that a framework is in fact a library and 
there is a link to that library from Libraries directory).

Another question is, how can i link to a framework, that is not already 
installed? I have a more complex project (suite) with several frameworks, 
applications and tools. I would like to make users (and me) build it with 
single make command in the source root directory. For example in StepTalk tools 
I use:

ADDITIONAL_TOOL_LIBS += -lStepTalk
ADDITIONAL_LIB_DIRS += -L../Source/$(GNUSTEP_OBJ_DIR)

Now, say I have a source directory structure like this:
/Frameworks
   /FirstFramework
       *.[hm]
       GNUMakefile
   /SecondFramework
       *.[hm]
       GNUMakefile
/Applications
   /MyApp
       *.[hm]
       GNUMakefile

And I want MyApp to be linked with FirstFramework. Is there a similar way how 
can i link to just built frameworks?

Thanks,

Stefan
