Link binary with libraries Link frameworks and libraries with your project’s object files to produce a binary file. You can link a target’s source files against libraries in the target’s active SDK or against external libraries. Embed Frameworks You can create an embedded framework to share code between your app extension and its containing app. … Read more
In the case of an import library for a DLL, the .lib file does not contain any actual code at all. It basically contains just a list of the functions in the associated DLL — enough for the linker to embed a reference to that DLL into something linked with the library, but not much … Read more
The trick here is to put the library AFTER the module you are compiling. The problem is a reference thing. The linker resolves references in order, so when the library is BEFORE the module being compiled, the linker gets confused and does not think that any of the functions in the library are needed. By … Read more
Each of the solutions I’ve seen to this problem have either seemed inelegant (copying headers into the application’s project) or overly simplified to the point that they only work in trivial situations. The short answer Add the following path to your User Header Search Paths “$(BUILD_ROOT)/../IntermediateBuildFilesPath/UninstalledProducts” Why does this work? First, we need to understand … Read more
For a static library, the .lib file contains all the code and data for the library. The linker then identifies the bits it needs and puts them in the final executable. For a dynamic library, the .lib file contains a list of the exported functions and data elements from the library, and information about which … Read more
That blog post is pretty inaccurate. As far as I know C++ ABI changes have been introduced with every major release of GCC (i.e. those with different first or second version number components). Not true. The only C++ ABI changes introduced since GCC 3.4 have been backward-compatible, meaning the C++ ABI has been stable for … Read more
Open ios/YourAppName.xcodeproj in Xcode Right-click on Your App Name in the Project Navigator on the left, and click New File… Create a single empty Swift file to the project (make sure that Your App Name target is selected when adding) when Xcode asks, press Create Bridging Header and do not remove Swift file then. re-run … Read more
As already stated by @przemyslaw-jablonski, this is similar to what was in XCode 10, but in only one screen (which I personally like!). Embedding Do not embed static frameworks and libraries (linking happens at build time), only shared ones (dynamic linking happens at run time, so they need to be in your bundle). file frameworkToLink.framework/frameworkToLink … Read more
There are at least three ways to do this natively. The first and most portable way is to use libtool. After having built the other libraries also with libtool, you can combine them just by adding the .la libs to an automake libaz_la_LIBADD variable, or directly from a Makefile with something like: libtool –mode=link cc … Read more
Before iOS8, Xcode only allowed the option of creating static libraries for iOS. The common problem with that was we had to ship the binary and headers separately. Later, some developers came with the idea of creating ‘static frameworks’. [the .framework is just a folder with symbolic links to the lib and the headers]. One … Read more
