Xcode找不到那里的路径

Question

I have an xcode project that was created on another mac. That make was PROBABLY osx 10.5 using Xcode 3. (When I went to install xcode I could only get Xcode 4 AND was required to upgrade my mac to 10.6) anyway, I am experiencing problems compiling this project that compiles fine on the other computer.

I don't know why. The build always fails and I see it is looking for a path incorrectly.

The physical directory layout is like this

/path/devfolder/devfolderMainProject/mainproject.xcodeproj
/path/devfolder/helpinglibrary/helpinglibrary.xcodeproj
/path/devfolder/anotherlibrary/anotherlibrariesFiles/...

But when Xcode starts doing the stuff for the helping library, it returns linker errors and I can see it is looking for files in the wrong places

linker error  /path/devfolder/helpinglibrary/../../anotherlibrary/anotherlibrariesFiles/src/correctfile.cpp  does not exist

so I browse and see that the file definitely does exist, and that Xcode is looking too many directory up

../../

should just be

../

so that it only goes 1 directory up, how do I make it look in the right place?

Moving the folders around in finder breaks plenty of OTHER things, so I am not sure what to do here.

Answer 1

I suggest you to open the target properties. In the "Build" tab, look for the settings OTHER_LDFLAGS and LIBRARY_SEARCH_PATH . I have a project with a structure just identical to your one and I have edited these properties to inform the Xcode where to look for my libraries. Maybe you can have some wrong value in some of these settings.
