When attempting to Project->Add->Existing Files - the navigation dialog presented will not let me point at the "/usr/lib" directory - even if I type that path into the SEARCH field.

Evidently, this used to be a functional feature of Xcode - as I have seen several examples from 2008 that seem to perform this activity.

The OpenSSL dylibs I am referring to come standard with MacOSX and I have no need for them to be in a non-standard location.

Can anyone enlighten me as to what is the suggested way to add dylibs from the "/usr/lib" folder to the Linked Frameworks area of my Cocoa project?

'Googling' for an answer did not help - and, from the Xcode Help docs, it's not clear (to me) how to add dylibs to the project which cannot be accessed by the standard file dialog presented by way of the ADD menu options.


/usr/lib is "hidden" by the OS in the standard Open dialog (and the Finder as well). You can always navigate to it by typing a slash, which brings up the Go To box, then continuing to type the full path.

You can also use Go To Folder in the Finder to navigate to /usr/lib, then find your library and drag and drop it into the project.

Or you can do Project > Edit Active Target, click the General tab, and in the "Linked Libraries" list click the "+" button. That brings up a specialized sheet that lists all the libraries and frameworks in your system or SDK in a flat list, and you just pick the ones you want to add to your target, without having to do any file system navigation.
