have_framework(fw, &b)

public

Returns whether or not the given framework can be found on your system. If found, a macro is passed as a preprocessor constant to the compiler using the framework name, in uppercase, prepended with HAVE_FRAMEWORK_.

For example, if have_framework(‘Ruby’) returned true, then the HAVE_FRAMEWORK_RUBY preprocessor macro would be passed to the compiler.

If fw is a pair of the framework name and its header file name that header file is checked, instead of the normally used header file which is named same as the framework.

      src = cpp_include("#{fw}/#{header}") << "\n" "int main(void){return 0;}"
      opt = " -framework #{fw}"
      if try_link(src, opt, &b) or (objc = try_link(src, "-ObjC#{opt}", &b))
        $defs.push(format("-DHAVE_FRAMEWORK_%s", fw.tr_cpp))
        # TODO: non-worse way than this hack, to get rid of separating
        # option and its argument.

        $LIBS << opt
