Summary

0000153: Support for -framework flag

Description

On Mac OS X, the cc and ld command support the "-framework" flag:

-framework name[,suffix]
                 This option tells the linker to search for `name.frame-
                 work/name' the framework search path. If the optional suffix
                 is specified the framework is first searched for the name
                 with the suffix and then without (e.g. look for `name.frame-
                 work/name_suffix' first, if not there try `name.frame-
                 work/name').

Support for this required to build most software on OS X. A particular instance of this is to compile Python extension modules:

$ python2-config --libs # Compiler flags for building extension modules
-lpython2.7 -ldl -framework CoreFoundation

The "-framework" flag is supported by both Clang and GCC on OS X and applies to all (?) input languages.
