To help you understand what is happening, you should try

 make messages=yes

this will print out the command used to launch the compiler and to  
link. :-)

You can then more easily see what the effect of the various options  
is ;-)

If you want to link against these, the correct syntax is --

MyApp_OBJC_LIBS = \
  -framework ApplicationServices \
  -framework Carbon \
  -framework Cocoa \
 ...

but are you sure you need them ?

"-framework Foundation -framework AppKit" should automatically be  
used, which should mean you don't need "-framework Cocoa";  
ApplicationServices and Carbon
as far as I know are only available on Apple so would limit the  
portability of your application.  Maybe you already know that and you  
really need them,
in which case it's fine ;-)

Else, you could just try removing your MyApp_OBJC_LIBS entirely and  
see what happens ? :-)

Thanks
