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.
Also, if you do "ld -o bar glitch.o -lfoo", you probably won't be very
happy either. Try
gcc -o bar glitch.o -lfoo
for better results. To use 'ld', you need to throw in a bunch of stuff
like (what we used to call, back in the day) crt0.o. You should be
able to see a good 'ld' line in action by using "gcc -v".
Are you saying this is different for you?
Only in that I'm different commands and arguments, and getting
different results :-}
Hope that helps, or at least, sheds light...
Regards,
Justin
