[Quickfix-developers] Problems building applications (not quickfix itself) using XCode / OS X

[Derrick J. <der...@ma...>]

Tiger 10.4.6
G5 / 1.8GHz / 1GB RAM
XCode 2.2

I followed the directions and did the following with no errors at all  
(w00t):

1. Built and installed libquickfix.dylib and libquickfix.la  (the  
install script automatically put them in /usr/bin/local and I made  
sure I was root to do this step)

2. Built (using make) their tests (runut and runat and  
runat_threaded).  All worked 100% with no errors.

3. Build (using make) their examples and ran them.  Again, no errors  
at all.

============= Problem starts here ===============

I created my own code snippet (C++ command line tool was the project  
type I used in Xcode).
I then added the quickfix headers directory to [Project / Edit  
Project Settings / HEADER_SEARCH_PATHS].
The compile step ran flawlessly.

The link phase failed miserably.  It couldn't find the quickfix  
library at all (BTW I had ZeroLink disabled), which makes sense  
because I didn't add it to the project ;-)

So I tried to add this in [Targets / Link Libraries With Files] but I  
couldn't get the dialog box to go to /usr/local/lib (It wouldn't  
display in the window).  When I went to my root volume, it only  
displayed the "Apple" direectories like "/Library" and "/Users".

I am massively stuck.  I can probably get it to work with their  
makefile but I'd like to get it to build in XCode for several reasons.

BTW, if it helps, I tried debugging this by exiting Xcode and on the  
command line running "xcodebuild", which, as expected, failed in the  
exact same way.  I added "-l quickfix" at the end and it still didn't  
work (it said it couldn't  find the quickfix file).

Interestingly, when I removed _only_  the -isysroot option, it  
WORKED.  WTF, this is supposed to affect header files only, according  
to g++-4.0 documentation.

Any help is GREATLY appreciated.  Thanks in advance.
