AC23 linking problem on OSX

[Anonymous]

Dear Support,

I have the following linking problem when I try to compile for AC23 on OSX.

Environment:
Xcode 9.3
SDK 10.13

What could be the reason of this error?

[Ralph Wessel · Accepted solution]

You probably need to link the project against an additional API framework. Frameworks contain specific functionality that your add-on might need - when the compiler builds the add-on, it needs to know which frameworks to use.

I'm not 100% sure which framework you're missing, but try adding AttributeManager.framework first (from the Support/Frameworks path).

Thanks for the idea.
However not the AttributeManager.framework but the ObjectDatabase.framework was the solution.

Thanks,
