Compiling Libs for iPhone projects

Question

I'm new to XCode. My iPhone project is dependent on FreeType. I got the source, but it needs to be statically compiled and included with my project. I tried adding a target and adding the include and src directories but this resulted in 3200 compiler errors, most of which complaining about no build rules. I'm just not sure how to do this. Could someone go step by step on doing this for a library. The result should be a .a file I believe. Thanks

Could CMake make it for me?

Stormy Productions has a good tutorial on this.
