Question

I am compiling ASIHTTPRequest in a new iPhone project, and getting a major error on compile.

The error is:

clang: error: no such file or directory: 'set'
Command /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/clang failed `with exit code 1

Having analysed the compile string, there is only 1 place where ‘set’ appears, and it is in this line:

set -fno-objc-arc --serialize-diagnostics 

So maybe this is failing?

If so, how do I take this line out to make it build?

The full compile string:

Thanks very much 🙂

There’s no reason for set to be there. People only generally set -fno-objc-arc on a file-by-file basis, so chances are it’s a copy and paste error when you were setting this up.

Select the target you are building, go to the Build Phases section, and under Compile Sources, edit the compiler flags to remove set.
