Dependencies: dynamic library linkage #271

Open libe opened 6 years ago

libe commented 6 years ago

Hello,

I am having troubles trying to link a dynamic library with the following spec

MyFramework:
  type: framework
  platform: iOS
  deploymentTarget: "11.0"
  dependencies: 
    - framework: deps/Curl/libcurl.a
      embed: true

When I inspect the Xcode project generated I can see that the library appears in the Link Frameworks section but the at link time I get the error -lcurl not found.

Is linking dynamic libraries supported? From the docs it is not explicitly mentioned it seems.

Thanks again for this great tool!

Hi Libe Does the solution posted in #192 solve your issue, by adding the dependency to FRAMEWORK_SEARCH_PATHS?

Hello,

I managed to solve the issue by using the OTHER_LDFLAGS and LIBRARY_SEARCH_PATHS variables to link with the shared libraries. I don't know if FRAMEWORK_SEARCH_PATHS can get the job done in the same way (I only have a precompiled .a library).
