Compiling external C++ library for use with iOS project

Question

I\'m completely new to using C++ libraries, so appreciate this might be a bit specific for my case (let me know and I can provide more details).

I have an external

Answer 1

The script by Mobile Ben is great, apart from the final line hardcodes a library filename into the script. The following is a replacement for the last lipo command and dynamically uses lipo merges each library file created after compilation.

Change Mobile Ben's line:

$LIPO -create $pwd/output/armv7/lib/libpresage.a  $pwd/output/armv7s/lib/libpresage.a $pwd/output/arm64/lib/libpresage.a $pwd/output/x86_64/lib/libpresage.a $pwd/output/i386/lib/libpresage.a -output libpresage.a

to:

for t in `ls $pwd/output/armv7/lib/*.a` ;
do
        export LIB=`basename $t`
        export ARCHSTRING=""
        for a in `ls $pwd/output`
        do
                export ARCSTRING="$ARCSTRING $pwd/output/$a/lib/$LIB "
        done
        $LIPO -create $ARCSTRING  -output $LIB
done

Note: I didn't want to edit Mobile Ben's answer with new code functionality, and adding this as a comment lost formatting.
