hi guys :) hopefully someone knows the answer to this. ive been trying to compile a dylib in xcode 2. i finally got it to compile and a .dylib was created. now, my experience with windows has been that along with a DLL, a lib (or .a) file gets built that allows you to easily call the exported functions. even though my dylib was built, i cant seem to find a .a or .lib anywhere for it. is there a trick to getting the import file built?

any thoughts would be much appreciated :)

I have the same question. Where is the file for BlitzMax to import?

Apparently an Xcode static lib works much better.
