Xcode4: Linker Error: Directory not found for option

Question

I get this error for my profile build (debug built in order).

{Directory not found for option '-L../../../Mac/Profile/lib [full path of that directory] Library not found for -lMyLib} 

When I check the path, the directory exists and the libmy libmy.bb file also exists. My library build path for the profile includes the $ (SRCROOT) /../../../ Mac / Profile / lib directory. I also made sure that the library was built in the profile settings.

This only happens when building a profile.

I would really like to have some help, although this may not be an easy question.

Thank!

EDIT: I found a solution myself. I solved the problem: there were two entries in the directory on my linker path. The second was surrounded by double quotes, and the first was not. Xcode4 seems to have combined them into a single directory entry, and apparently it was garbage. After removing the quotes, the linker error disappeared.

Answer 1

Go to the "Get Information" section on the target. Go to the "Build Settings" tab (I use Xcode4) and scroll down to "Search Paths", where you delete all the values ​​in the "Library Search Paths".

Hope this helps ...

Answer 2

There are two mistakes that people seem to confuse.

If this "directory is not found for the option" -L / ... "This means that this is a library error, and you can try:

• Click on your project (goals)
• Click Build Settings
• In the Library Search Paths section, delete the paths

If this is a “directory not found for the option“ -F / ... ”, this means that it is a Framework error, and you can try:

• Click on your project (goals)
• Click Build Settings
• In Framework Search Paths remove paths

This can happen when you move file links or change the name of a project folder.

Answer 3

It was similar, as indicated above in the library search paths. I found that one of my paths was missing quotes around it ...

 // Old path $(PROJECT_DIR)/Google Analytics // New path "$(PROJECT_DIR)/Google Analytics" 

Answer 4

I ran into this error, apparently with a completely different scenario from these answers above. Hopefully some people will do what I did and find it useful, even if this is a rare occurrence.

I managed to get this error by simply adding a new viewController to my project. As usual, I added a tableview and limited it, and then added and linked the delegate and the data source. I also created a property.

The strange thing I noticed then was that as soon as I finished creating the property, it was immediately connected, as if I had connected it, but before I connected it. When I clicked on the xib file and checked the links, it was not actually associated with the table view.

(This link appeared automatically, without the need to create it yourself)

I do not know why this happened. I deleted the file and redid it with the same name, but it happened again. Give me this error above.

The way I decided was to create a new file, a different name and add and create links in a different order, checking at each step that this did not happen. After that, nothing connected was created, and it worked.

TL DR: If you get this error and recently added a new view controller, check to see if this removes the action, and if so, they will be careful about any automatic links.
