Question

I’m trying to “install” core plot 0.4.

The first instruction is to drag and drop the XCodeProj file into my own project. I do this. Normally when I drag and drop images or the such like it asks me if I want to copy the file into my own project. However for some reason its not asking me, its just creating a reference.

I’m not sure what the difference is, and whether it will still work or not with a reference, its just the first instruction (http://recycled-parts.blogspot.com/2011/07/setting-up-coreplot-in-xcode-4.html) says to click the “copy into folder” checkbox.

However that whole dialogue doesn’t come up. I drag and drop and it puts the xcodeproj into mine without anything happening!

confused lol

Thanks

This is what I did to fix it:

1. Close Xcode.
2. Open Xcode and create a new workspace.
3. File > Add files to “Workspace”.
4. Add the first project.
5. Build to make sure it builds correctly.
6. File > Add files to “Workspace”.
7. Add the second project.
8. Build to make sure it builds correctly.
9. Drag one project into another.

Now, be careful with the next step:

Erase the second standalone project but choose **REMOVE REFERENCES. **

There. Now you should have one project as a dependent of another project.
