Frameworks that use Frameworks on Windows

[Björn Giesler]

Hi,

I'm trying to build Adresses on Windows, which consists of two  
frameworks (Adresses.framework and AddressView.framework), the latter  
depending on the former. Everything seems to build fine, and  
Addresses.framework links as well.

Linking AddressView.framework, however, gives me the following  
information about AppKit classes:

Info: resolving __objc_class_name_NSTableView by linking to  
__imp___objc_class_name_NSTableView (auto-import)

and so on. So linking works there, obviously with some underscore  
symbol magic. Examining libAddresses.dll.a with nm shows that all  
classes there have the __imp___objc_class_name... prefix as well.

When it tries to link to Addresses.framework, it outputs

...undefined reference to __objc_class_name_ADAdressbook

and so on. Is there something special that the GNUstep libraries do  
to define their symbols so that auto-linking works for them? Has  
anyone got this working?

Thanks in advance,
Björn
