after adding the OCMock framework i got that strange error… 🙁

ld: file not found: -fobjc-arc
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

It looks like if the compiler flag tries to be loaded by XCode?

Any idea?

Best regards, hijolan

    I was getting the exact same error on Xcode 4.3.2. Here’s my navigator log; I’m adding it for Google juice.

    The OCMock instructions explicitly ask you to add linker flags — -ObjC and -force_load.

    -force_load is expecting a value — see the answer to this question that explains that -all_load is what to use if you don’t want to specify a library name.

    As someone who just spent 25 minutes on this, I should check again with the OCMock tutorial — I don’t think it was very clear in this instruction.

    This blog post has a much better image that shows exactly how your settings should look.
