Background (may or may not be relevant): I'm trying to use a trans compiler called j2objc , which allows you to translate Java code for use in iOS applications. Its core library contains a bunch of objective-c Java Runtime translations. To add this codebase according to its wiki version, I have to add the provided .xcodeproj as a static library. That I have a problem.
What I've done:
- added provided by
.xcodeproj as a child project - In the
Build Phases my main goal, under Target Dependencies , I added the appropriate target form of the child project - In
Link Binary with Libraries I added a file called libjre_emul.a , which is the intended output of the child project. - This is all in accordance with the instructions of the project and goes according to plan.
What fails: when I try to create a project, I get the following error:
clang: error: no such file or directory: '/Users/Thomas/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/tuxblocks-asszlcvjgdqugifxhbkkwcrstotk/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/libjre_emul.a'
Actually there is no libjre_emul.a in this folder, therefore Xcode is right. When I create a child project on my own, I don’t get build errors, so I assume that it does what it should, but I also checked its output folders and did not see libjre_emul.a there. So why is there no output library?
One point that may make a difference: it seems that the library I'm trying to use was created in Xcode 3, and I'm using Xcode 4. I heard that there might be some problems.
I admit that I am new to Xcode, so I may completely misunderstand. In any case, I certainly appreciate your help!
EDIT: I found the libjre_emul.a file. It is located in the folder under the subproject build_result. Copying it to where Xcode expects it to seem to let it work ...
