Question

I have an existing iPhone application, and I just wanted to make a static library out of the code, so that I can use it by a separate test application (within the workspace). The application compiles fine, but when I try to compile the library version (which has the same code files) I get the following error:

• Lexical or Preprocessor Issue – “MyClass.h” file not found

However, the application still runs, even through there is this error. In fact when I compile the application (which uses the static library) it initially says no errors, and then after a second or two the above mention error then appears.

I’m basically doing:

1. Create a new target in the project using the Coco Touch Static Library
2. Add the .m files in the targets “Compile Sources”
3. Adding the .h files in the targets “Copy Headers”
4. Adding the same set of libraries in the “Link binaries with libraries”
5. Go into the Profile and modified the Target to be RELEASE

Any suggestions? Am I missing a step here?

Answer 1

So, the issue turned out to be I had “-ObjC” set in the “Other Link Flags” option, which I’d put there as at one stage trying to get things working I read this was required – Dereks advice to review the compilation log worked well here
