I was able to link my dylib with the application successfully.
But while executing the application I am getting this error :
dyld: /Users/hpathak/Trial/test/build/test.app/Contents/MacOS/test
can't
open library :
libtest.dylib (No such file or directory,errno =2)
The contents of a dynamic library isn't copied into your app when it's
linked. Instead, only the library name is stored in your app, and that
name is used to find the library and resolve the symbols in it at
run-time.
You need to make the .dylib accessible at run-time. The installation
name for the library is recorded in your app, so the method you'll need
to use to make is visible at run-time will vary. To view the
installation name, use 'otool -D libtest.dylib'.
If the filename alone is used, you can simply install the library in
one of the standard locations - /usr/lib, for example.
If the full path is specified, the library will have to be present at
that exact location at run-time.
You can also include the library inside your .app bundle, but you'll
need to compile the library with a special linker option. If the
library is built using Xcode, use the "install path" option. If it's
built with a make file, add the '-install_name blah' option to the
linker flags. Or, if it has a configure script that creates its make
file, run that with "LDFLAGS='-install_name blah' ./configure" to
export the appropriate environment variable.
Regardless of how you specify it, the installation name should be
something like this:
@executable_path/../Frameworks/libtest.dylib
If you go this route, you'll probably want to add a "copy file" build
phase to your app, to copy the library file into the finished .app
bundle.
In some situations, you can change the installation name of a library
without rebuilding it, by using install_name_tool.
