将Objective-C应用程序链接到C ++静态库

Question

I am trying to use Xcode to build an Objective-C desktop application that links against a static C++ library. I am using the Apple's clang compiler. I am getting the following linker error:

Apple clang version 3.0 (tags/Apple/clang-211.12) (based on LLVM 3.0svn)
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin11.2.0

      ___cxx_global_var_init in libcore.a(test.o)
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

It seems like it isn't linking against the C++ std library. Is this the problem and if so, how to I ensure that it links against it?

Update :

If I add a blank cpp file to the build then everything compiles and runs fine. I just seem to need a way to tell the linker to link against the C++ std library. I have tried looking through all of the build settings in Xcode but can't seem to find anything that helps.

Answer 1

Try adding -lstdc++ or -lc++ (depending on which C++ runtime your static library expects) to "Other Linker Flags" under "Build Setting":

Answer 2

在Xcode 6中也有同样的问题，我通过在“ 链接二进制文件与库 ”构建阶段中链接“ libstdc ++。6.0.9.dylib ”并在构建设置下将-lstdc ++添加到“ 其他链接器标志 ”中来解决了

It seems weird that libcore.a is looking for a class named Init in the std::ios_base namespace. I don't think std::ios_base::Init is a standard class.

Aside from that, you might want to check that libcore.a actually includes x86_64 code. You can use the file command to check. For example:

$ file /usr/lib/libz.dylib
/usr/lib/libz.dylib: Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures
/usr/lib/libz.dylib (for architecture x86_64):  Mach-O 64-bit dynamically linked shared library x86_64
/usr/lib/libz.dylib (for architecture i386):    Mach-O dynamically linked shared library i386

If the file command output doesn't include a “ for architecture x86_64 ” line, you can't use the library to create a 64-bit executable.

Other Linker Flags -lstdc++ Didn't help for me in Xcode5. But find out similar thing in Apple LLVM 5.0 - Lnaguage - C++

default setting was libc++(LLVM C++ standard~blabla) and changed it to libstdc++(GNU thing)

Now there is no error with linking!!! and now I have to find out it runs fine.

anyway thanks for advice.
