Stub Library Read Me

This folder contains a dummy stub library that you use to satisfy the linker 

when using the CFMLateImport approach for calling Mach-O frameworks from CFM. 

The current stub library, SystemFrameworkLib, exports just a single symbol 

(gethostname). You can expand this list by editing the export file 

(SystemFrameworkStub.exp) and rebuilding the stub library using the 

MPW MakeStub command.

    MakeStub SystemFrameworkStub.exp -fragname SystemFrameworkLib -o SystemFrameworkLib.stub

You can download MPW from the Apple developer web site.

    <http://developer.apple.com/tools/mpw-tools/>

You can also build stub libraries with CodeWarrior Pro 6, but those libraries 

have certain quality problems that I find disturbing. I have reported those 

problems to Metrowerks.  Until they are fixed I will stick with MPW, however 

your mileage might vary.

To build a stub library for all of the symbols in a framework, you need a list 

of those symbols. You can generate this list using the Mac OS X nm command line 

tool.  Type man nm on the command line for details.

Share and Enjoy.
