I would like to develop an iPhone App based on an existing open-source Objective-C framework, however that framework makes extensive use of the glib library and I cannot find a way to build and include the glib library for an iPhone app (non jailbreak).
Is there any way this can be done, or is there any recommended approach to porting a framework away from glib?
Thanks
I would recommend porting away from because glib is GPL licensed, which means that you will have to open source all your application code. Or maybe that is not an issue?
no, guys, using LGPL projects on iPhone (where you indeed need to statically link) is legal as long as you provide your app's object code so the user can (if technically versed) re-link your app with a new version of the LGPL lib. Of course, you still need to re-publish the lib if you change any of that code.
