Linking OSX SDL in a dynamiclib without main?

SDL Development
1

…I’ve got a dynamiclib that needs to link to SDL (I’m not using the
framework, but instead using the unix-y SDL via fink), because the
library is used by several other applications…but when trying to
link, I get the following:

/usr/bin/ld: Undefined symbols:
_SDL_main

…Even if I don’t use ‘sdl-config --libs’ and instead just add “-L/
sw/lib -lSDL” to LDFLAGS, I still get a missing _main, in addition to
a bunch of other osx symbols that I don’t see when use sdl-config…

any way around this?

…nevermind: I woke up and realized I could just use “-undefined
suppress”…

So, did you get it working? Don’t think so.

There’s been multiple separate threads on this, during the last 6
months and under different titles. One of them states, setup code
for OS X graphics (actually, Objective-C) could be done outside of
the main, in connection to SDL_Init. This would be All That We Need,
really.

This is a stone in the shoe that must go?
