Xcode: How to set up a C++ Project with Libraries

Question

I am very new to C++ and have been following some tutorials online. I have downloaded the libraries and .h files they use and included them in my file structure.

However I get this error:

'Apple Mach-0 Linker (id) Error...'

What does this mean exactly?

Answer 1

The simplest way is to:

Open Xcode. Go to:

File -> New -> Project -> Mac OS X -> Application -> Command Line Tool

Specify project name and set type to C++

To add libraries you have to specify the header search paths and path to .a files. It can be done in project build settings
