OSX/iOS frameworks?

[Emil Dotchevski]

What is the correct way for locating/linking OSX/iOS frameworks? I browsed the code and I can see that things like OpenGL will just work -- dependency('gl') -- but what about frameworks which don't have a corresponding library on non-Apple platforms? Obviously adding them on the linker command line would work but I wasn't sure if there is a better way!

Thanks!

What if the framework is not built-in? How do I tell meson to link a specific custom framework (let's say it is a subproject)?

For subprojects you would not use a framework but declare_dependency.

What I mean is that the subproject comes in the form of frameworks, e.g. like Qt. Can I tell declare_dependency that it's a pre-built framework, so it knows to use -F/-framework? But maybe this isn't a huge deal, I could manually do -F/-framework on Mac/iOS.

Thanks!
