Hi. I recently received a library from a third party that I want to
use in my application. This file appears to be a universal binary .a
archive. It doesn't begin with "lib" - I'm not sure if this matters.
The name of the file is vp7plugin_macUniv.a
I placed the file into a folder where other .a libraries that my
application uses are located. Then, I added the library file to my
application. When I try to build with it, I get a link error that says:
can't locate file for: -lvp7plugin_macUniv.a
In the terminal, I tried typing file vp7plugin_macUniv.a the result is:
vp7plugin_macUniv.a: Mach-O fat file with 2 architectures
vp7plugin_macUniv.a (for architecture i386): current ar archive
random library
vp7plugin_macUniv.a (for architecture ppc): current ar archive
which is what I would expect.
What I'm surprised about is that the linker can't find the file. On
the chance that the problem was that it didn't begin with "lib", I
removed it from my project, then named it libvp7plugin_macUniv.a,
then re-added it. This didn't change anything.
Any ideas on what is wrong?
Thanks.
