Update
Daniel was close, it just wasn’t the search path. The Prefix Header under GCC 4.2 was set to:
$(SYSTEM_LIBRARY_DIR)/Frameworks/AppKit.framework/Headers/AppKit.h
I missed that when I was combing through the first 2 times.
I removed it and now all is well.
Original Question
I have been using/building products with a static libraries for about a week now with no issues.
For the first time, I tried to make a distribution build (for ad hoc testing) and I am getting errors all over the place.
The errors, strangely say that it can’t find Appkit headers. Which is odd because it is an iPhone app and shouldn’t be linking to Appkit headers
Additionally, the library name, “libFJSCodeDebug.a” turns red while when I switch from debug to distribution/release. I figure this must be a big clue.
To test, I duplicated the debug configuration and renamed it release. This built fine. So it seems the problem is somewhere in the configuration. Below is a snippet of what I get in Xcode when I build. (Note: I named my target FJSCodeDebug even though it will be used for both debug and release builds)
Building target “FJSCodeDebug” of project “FJSCode” with configuration “Release” — (169 errors)

Build failed (169 errors)
I’m looking for 1 of 2 solutions:
Obviously, fix the release build to not get these errors
OR
Tweak the debug configuration to have all the important settings that a release configuration requires.
Any ideas??
This
leads me to believe your build target is trying to compile AppKit.h for some reason (while I don’t think it should be doing that at all), and/or it’s looking for it in the wrong place (i.e. in the root /System instead of in the SDK /Developer/Platforms/…).
You should double check your build settings library/frameworks search paths, and that AppKit.h isn’t in the compile phase.
