Calling functions from a C++ dylib and Header in a Cocoa Application

Question

Hello all! Great website, has been super helpful these past few weeks. I am writing an app in Cocoa that requires the use of a C++ dylib and header files. I need to call functions from a header file in my app. Ive tried several ways to import and include these libraries into my app but always end up with missing symbol errors. The libraries i am using are from the autodesk maya API, anyone have any idea the correct way to do this? Thanks in advance!

You need to make sure the files calling the functions are Objective-C++ files (basically, give them the extension ".mm"), and you need to add the library to your project so it gets linked in.
