When I try to compile the cocoa application,I have the link error result.It is seem to change the search path in the cocoa app info(General panel).But it is not work,why?

Answer 1

If you're using Xcode, you can add a link to static library by adding the library to Frameworks folder in the project.

Answer 2

still many link erro result.but When I add the folder path of c head file to the Header search paths of the cocoa app'Info panel, I have few error results. about that are "not found the function declared in the c header file" ,why ?

Answer 3

ok. I have the answer:

1. add the .a library to your cocoa project
2. edit the path of Header Search paths and Library Search paths in the project info panel(build panel)
3. don't forget the copy option while adding the library to your project.
