Compile ziparchive on a static library in an iPhone project #4

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
This is not an issue, just letting you know of my experience in compiling the 
software as a static 
library.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Generate a static library project with Xcode 
2. Include all the files of the ZipArchive Project.
3. Build the static library, everything is ok.
4. Include the static library project as a reference in another iPhone 
application project.
5. Build the application project. 

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

When compiling, there is a  undefined reference to `__gxx_personality_v0' error.
Did some research on this, and found the answer at http://www.network-
theory.co.uk/docs/gccintro/gccintro_54.html. Seems that Xcode does not use g++ 
instead of 
gcc to compile the source. Don't know why everything without modifications 
works when trying 
to compile ZipArchive as a standalone project.

To compile it as a static library, all it takes is to change the extension of 
ZipArchive.mm from 
.mm to .m.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Mac OS X 10.6, Xcode 3.2

I am attaching a sample Xcode project to compile ZipArchive as a static library.
Thanks for this useful software!

It would be great if you describe how to add the static library in detail...

I did the following:

I downloaded your attached project
I build it (with the build parameter release)
I started the Finder
I added the static library by Add Existing Framework -> Add Other -> choose the 
libziparchive.a
I added the path to the header files in the target-properties "Header Search 
Paths" (relative Path and recursive)
I cleaned the project
I build the project

My Code is the follwoing:

blabla.h:

#import "ZipArchive.h"

blabla.m

    ZipArchive* za = [[ZipArchive alloc] init];
    if( [za UnzipOpenFile:fromfile] )
    {
        BOOL ret = [za UnzipFileTo:todirectory overWrite:YES];
        if( NO==ret )
        {
        }
        [za UnzipCloseFile];
    }

And the error that i get while building the project is:

ld: warning: in /Users/hannessatz/Documents/DownloadFile/libziparchive.a, file 
was built for unsupported file format which is not the architecture being 
linked (i386)

  ".objc_class_name_ZipArchive", referenced from:

      literal-pointer@__OBJC@__cls_refs@ZipArchive in ABDownloadEPub.o

ld: symbol(s) not found

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Did you face such a problem already?

That project is set to build a static library for iPhoneOS. If you get info on 
the project, you'll se that in the Build tab, the "Valid Architectures" 
variable is set to be "armv6 armv7". You are probably using this static library 
in a Mac OS X application, not an iPhoneOS one, that's why that error pops up.

Static libraries are the only way when developing for iPhone. You'll probably 
want to take a look on how to generate a dynamic library if you are developing 
an application for Mac OS X.
Take a look at

:: Edited to correct information on the build variable

// end of error log

More than appreciative  for the guide even if you could not help me.

Never tried to compile a static library from the terminal, as I use Xcode for 
development. Sorry!

CommonCrypto library seems to support AES. Take a look at this:
