Not to derail the Xcode discussion, but you are certainly wrong that
'-lfoo' fails to work with libfoo.a, using gcc/ld. I use this
without
problem (but I have yet to convince Xcode to work with my project, a
separate issue).
What do you mean by gcc/ld? How was libfoo.a created?
I mean "gcc or ld"; I should have been less cryptic. Sorry.
If I try something like
ld -o someexecutable grog.o bar.o -lfoo
where libfoo.a is an archive made with
ar -cru -o libfoo.a yuch.o grok.o blob.o
ranlib -s libfoo.a
I will get
libfoo.a is not a valid object file
and it wil break.
Yup. That's no surprise. ".a"s are (should be) created by the 'ar'
command. That's what I do, and it works.
Whoops...Forget the above; I managed to misread the part about 'ld' and
'ar'. Chris's comments on 'ar' are on point...
Sorry about that.
Regards,
Justin
