XCode vs VS2008 or how to work with a static library project on XCode

Hello.

I've working with Visual Studio for a long time and now I'm working with XCode.

On Visual Studio I can work with more than one project at the same time adding them to a solution (imagine a solutin with a windows application project and a library project).

Now I have XCode and two projects: an iPhone application and a static library. Is there something similar to Visual Studio's solution on XCode? If the answer is not, how can I link my iPhone application with the static library?

Thank you.

You just add the static library project itself to the iPhone project. When the iPhone project compiles, it will open and compile the static library project as well.

And how can I add a static library to the iPhone project?

@VansFannel: You do it the same way as you add source files or anything else - just drag to the project window or use the menu command `Project` => `Add to Project...`

It can indeed be very confusing how to use static libraries, i have written quite an extensive tutorial explaining how to create static libraries and how to use them in your projects (configuration) :

Great! I'm going to read it.

It works! And now, How can I debug library code? I haven't found source files from library project?

Ok I've found it. Double click on library project file, to open another XCode IDE. And then, putting break points wherever I want.
