Prebinding question

• Mike Laster Prebinding question Aug 28 2002, 15:18
  Is there any way to convert a non-prebound framework into a prebound
  one without rebuilding it (since I don't have the source)
  
  When I build, I get the following warning:
  
  ld: warning prebinding disabled because dependent library ... is not
  prebound.
  .
  It seems that linking against even one non-prebound framework prevents
  prebinding to any framework, which can slow down launch times.
  
  I figured there might be some magic with otool, nm and friends that
  could correct the problem.

  I think in theory one could disassemble the framework binary with otool
  and then recompile/link it. Offhand I would guess though that otool
  doesn't produce useable enough output.
