Getting unresolved carbon functions - mac qt 10.4 build

Question

Trying to compile some code that is primarily Qt, but has a bunch of calls into the the Carbon layer.

In Linking, all of the Carbon calls come up unresolved.

My config cmdline build has this: -sdk /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk -mmacosx-version-min=10.4 -carbon -universal

My project has this: CONFIG += i386 ppc, and this: QMAKE_CXXFLAGS += -mmacosx-version-min=10.4

As you can see, I'm targeting/using the 10.4u sdk.

All of the Carbon calls come up unresolved. Is there a way to specify the carbon libs directly on the link line?

Answer 1

I have no idea how to set this in Qmake, but linking to the Carbon framework is done via -framework Carbon, e.g.

g++ a.cpp -o a -framework Carbon

Since -framework is a linker option, you could try using it on Qmake’s equivalent of LDFLAGS. Alternatively, you could pass -Wl,-framework,Carbon to the compiler driver.
