- I have a similar question. When distributing a custom Palette I
- need to distribute a library of the object code along with the
- Palette, which I believe is a bundle. The Palette contains my
- custom subclass of IBPalette (MyIBPalette) along with other classes I have
- created. The palette (bundle) also contains nib and tiff files
- that the other classes need. To get those resources I use
-
- bundle = [NXBundle bundleForClass: [MyIBPalette class]];
- [bundle getpath:buf forResource .....]
-
- in the code for the other classes.
-
- To create the library I took all the object code files from the
- palette and used ar and ranlib to create a library which I link in
- with the application using the custom Palette. This gives the message:
-
- /bin/ld: Undefined symbols:
- objc_class_name_IBInspector
- _IBObjectPboardType
- objc_class_name_IBPalette
-
- Questions:
-
- a) Is there another library other than the standard -lMedia_s -lNeXT_s
- that could be linked to solve this problem (I could not find one.)
-
- b) Should I not be using the class MyIBPalette to be the class
- "holding" the bundle for all the custom palette resources since
- the application will not require the IBInspectors and IBPalette
- classes during execution. It only needs them when running
- Interface Builder.
