Linking static libraries

hi,

I am trying to use Xcode 2.2 to link several static libraries into an application. No they can't be dynamic libraries or frameworks, so lets not go there.

Initially I created the bunch of needed Xcode projects, one target each, and with the standard "release" and "debug" build configurations and built everything with the debug build configuration. There are no linkages between projects in the project files themselves.

The application project that uses the static libraries includes the static libraries from the debug folder, because that is what I had - debug builds of libraries.

Now I want to build a release version. So I went and built the release build configuration of everything.

The application won't link because it can't find any static libraries. That seems obvious since when the static libraries are included in the project you have to specify them down to the file. But I don't see a way to specify a static library based on the build configuration.

What is the magic part of the application project build configuration that controls where it looks for a static library based on the build configuration?

(Right now my work around is to put the static libraries in one place, independent of build configuration and link to that. So I can't keep a "debug" static library around for the "debug" version of the application and a "release" static library for the "release" version of the application.)

thanks.
