Using DHlibxls within a Mac project #5

Closed peanutgallerygeek closed 11 years ago

peanutgallerygeek commented 11 years ago

I'd like to use the DHlibxls framework within my Mac project. The core project is coded for IOS but really doesn't use any IOS objects. Can I use it 'as is' and drop it into a Mac project or do I need to OS X-ize it first? Kind of a dopey question but I'm new at this.

You should be able to use it - you might have to tweak something or the other. Let me know how it goes. If you have problems I can look at it in a few days.

No hurry. I'll fool with it for a while and see what I can do with it. I'll try to use it 'as is' and then start messing with it. I'm kind of working on my thing in fits and starts as I get time so it might be a couple of weeks until I finish.

Thanks for getting back to me.

np - I'll get it working if you have problems. I have tested the core library on both platforms, well, a year or so ago.

Hello,

I ran into an interesting problem with using IOS within a Mac application. Everything was fine until I tried to compile it. I had added libDHxlsReaderIOS.a in the 'link binary with libraries' section of the target build phase properties. It did try and find it but it went to the regular debug directory instead of the debug instead of debug-iphoneos directory.

Here is the full path...

clang: error: no such file or directory: '/Users/joeruth/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/TestExcel-gafbcuigedlxcvbeilaackpigstl/Build/Products/Debug/libDHxlsReaderIOS.a'

What I think this is telling me is that I need to convert your subproject into a Mac project instead of an IOS project because it makes an assumption depending on type and looks in a a particular directory for these items. Does that make sense or is there a way to tell it to look in the 'wrong' directory?

Look at the way the library itself is compiled - the .a is built as a armv7 library.

peanutgallerygeek commented 11 years ago

I believe so. The 'valid architectures' tab shows 'arvm7 arvm7s'.

What's confusing here is you are talking about using this in a Mac app, not ios. If OSX, then you would only want i386 and x64 architectures.

peanutgallerygeek commented 11 years ago

I downloaded the github version and it was IOS. I think what you're telling me is that I should convert it to OS X if I want to use this in an OS X program.

Yes!

Groovy. I'll do that.

@peanutgallerygeek Hi brother, did u finally converted this lib to Cocoa?

peanutgallerygeek commented 7 years ago

I did and I’ve been using it for a while in a couple of different Mac apps. It wasn’t so much a ‘conversion’ and a ‘hack’ but it works. I didn’t test all of it but mostly it seems fine.
