| There’s a really annoying glitch in Xcode 4.x in which the build transcript will report an error from libtool but omit the actual stderr output of the tool. So the only information shown about the error is:
"Libtool build/Debug-iphonesimulator/libCouchbase.a normal i386
Command /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/usr/
bin/libtool failed with exit code 1"
…which gives absolutely no useful information about what went wrong, making it nearly impossible to troubleshoot.
The workaround is to flip open the transcript item to get the actual shell commands; copy them; and paste them into Terminal to run the commands there. Then you can see the libtool output, including helpful messages about missing libraries, incompatible architectures, or whatever.
I promise to file a bug against this, but it’s so common that I can’t imagine I’m the first person to run into it, so I wanted to check if anyone else has already filed it.
