I've strayed into unix-y areas of OS X that I'm not familiar with,
and I wonder if anyone can help. I'm trying to get Xcode to link
against a ".la" file. I've installed GSL (Gnu Scientific Library)
and built it according to the instructions (from the command line).
This has created a file libgsl.la which I think is what I need to
link my code against. Unfortunately Xcode doesn't recognise that
file extension, and treats the file as a text file when I add it to
my project.
Can anyone shed any light on exactly what a '.la' extension means,
and how I can add it to the project? I'm vaguely aware of '.a' as
an object code archive, but I've never come across this one.
Doesn't seem to be anything in the list archives about this...
First, the .la file only contains information about the library to be
loaded like it's exact name and any other dependent libraries that
must also be linked with it.
You can open the file in the editor and you will see what libraries
are being uses, these are what must be linked, I've had mixed results
in using the .la files in XCode projects that I found it better to
just add the required libraries to the project that are listed in the
file because I couldn't get it to always add the libraries in
different projects.
Thanks for any suggestions
Jonny
