Question

I am trying to use the Good Dynamics SDK in Xamarin, I don’t know Objective-C well so I am a bit lost here. This is an attempt at a proof of concept, I’m not sure if this is actually doable.

I’ve added the GD file as GD.a from the GD.framework directory and attempted to implement an API binding and duplicate the application start logic from the sample XCode project.

I managed to get it to build even though Mono Develop is showing everything from the ApiDefinition in red.

When building this is part of the error log Full version here

This goes on for a lot longer and it finishes with the error

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

error MT5202: Native linking failed. Please review the build log.

Now I’m a bit stuck. Any ideas?

Thanks

I needed to add -cxx to the “Additional mtouch arguments” in the iPhone build options.
