Where to add private frameworks?

[JW97]

Im currently working on a project that requires a private framework, i have the framework but can't figure where to put it in my theos directory and how to add it to the makefile. Sorry for my noobishness, still a newly to theos. Can you help?

Thanks

tweakname_PRIVATE_FRAMEWORKS = PRIVATEFRAMEWORKSHERE

I mean where in the theos directory as in /opt/theos/include/NAME_OF_FRAMEWORK/files?

Yeah, that's fine.
Or in the framework itself in 'Headers/'

Thanks, I've added the dylib I need to use to theos/lib but do I reference it in the PRIVATE_FRAMEWORKS?

But that's a dylib, not a framework. For libraries, you add -llibname to xxx_LDFLAGS. So, libawesome.dylib becomes xxx_LDFLAGS = -lawesome.

Ignore that last reply but when doing this i still get ld: library not found for -libname?

That's because -libname means "libibname.dylib". Like the example I
gave you. Take off the lib and the .dylib and put that after -l.

[DHowett]

And really, the library had better be something named better than libname. Examples are just that, examples. They are to have your real-world values substituted into them.

[JW97]

Of course. Problem solved and thanks for the help.

Hi DHowett, I have the similar question, but I'm trying to use a framework.

I followed http://brandontreb.com/beginning-jailbroken-ios-development-your-first-tweak/ to write my first tweak, and then I want to use TPAdvanced.a in my tweak.

I put TPAdvanced.h in /opt/theos/include/TPAdvanced/ folder,

I put libTPAdvanced.a under both /opt/theos/lib, /opt/theos/include/TPAdvanced/ folder, and also my tweak project folder (the same folder where my Tweak.xm and Makefile are in)

I have tried modified the makefile with:
WelcomeWagon_PRIVATE_FRAMEWORKS = libTPAdvanced
or WelcomeWagon_PRIVATE_FRAMEWORKS = libTPAdvanced.a
or WelcomeWagon_PRIVATE_FRAMEWORKS = TPAdvanced

But, still no luck.

What do you mean by "in the framework itself in 'Headers/'"
Where should I put my .h and .a file?
What should I write in my makefile?
I could not find any document of how to set these variables in the makefile. Do you have any?

Thanks!

Use -lTPAdvanced in your projects LDFLAGS

[ElfeXu]

Oh, I didn't realize I can still write the make file just like any normal make file...
It works. Thanks!

Hi, DHowett
I'm use libxml2.dylib. I had add LDFLAGS like this:

widget_INSTALL_PATH = /Library/WeeLoader/Plugins/
widget_FRAMEWORKS = UIKit CoreGraphics
widget_LDFLAGS = -lxml2

the code in my xxx.m

#import "BBWeeAppController-Protocol.h"
#import "libxml/HTMLparser.h" #here need use < instead "

than make , error:

error: libxml/HTMLparser.h: No such file or directory

Why there was still not find libxml?
I have to do something else?

Thanks.

[DHowett]

This is not a catch-all bug bandwagon love-in!

@justzt: widget_CFLAGS=-I$(SYSROOT)/usr/include/libxml2 and then switch the include to <> instead of ""
@ElfeXu Sorry - I never noticed your activity on this bug (given that it was closed). You can set xxx_LIBRARIES in your Makefile to TPAdvanced, or add the .a file to xxx_OBJ_FILES where xxx is your instance name.

Thanks
