Copied Cocoa Framework searches /Library/Frameworks/… only. How can I make it search binary within itself?

Question

I made a Cocoa Framework with dynamic library. This library contains C functions. I copied the framework into other project, compiled well, but when running it crashes with message like this.

warning: Unable to read symbols for /Library/Frameworks/NewtonGameDynamics.framework/Versions/A/NewtonGameDynamics (file not found).
warning: Unable to read symbols from "NewtonGameDynamics" (not yet mapped into memory).
[Switching to process 48902 thread 0x0]

  Reason: image not found

The binary file is in the copied framework directory. Why this happen and how can I avoid this?

Answer 1

This is somewhat complicated than I thought.

Problem is locating binary file in framework. It looks enough with only $(EXECUTABLE_PATH) . But real problem is it should be absolute path.

So basic solution is @executable_path/../Frameworks/$(EXECUTABLE_PATH) . Because this is embedded private framework and the path from running app binary is just that.

INSTALL_PATH = @executable_path/../Frameworks
LD_DYLIB_INSTALL_NAME = @executable_path/../Frameworks/$(EXECUTABLE_PATH)
