I'm trying to build a mac application which is going to use one static library.
I created one workspace and added my application project and static library project to workspace and added linked application framework or libraries to my result library.
I'm able to compile my library project individually and able to get .a file out of it. But when i run the application, I'm getting linker error saying symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64
I verified valid architectures in app and static lib projects. both having i386, x86_64
Can any one help me on this.
Thanks for understanding the problem.

I am trying to build an Application where I have already source code with me and which is not developed by me. I the project seems using a static library testlib.a and I can see the in the project the library contains only header and the pre-compiled library testlib.a.
And the problem is when I trying to build the source code,
I am getting following error like,
testlib.a, missing required architecture x86_64
testlib.a, missing required architecture i386
undefined symbol for architecture x86_64
undefined symbol for architecture i386
Does the above means, I cannot use the pre-compiled static library which already included with the project?(The main problem I am going to face here is I don’t have the source code for the library if I have to rebuild it to create universal library).
How can I resolve this issue?.
For the recent couple of days I have had this compiler error in Xcode every time I've built my project:
ld: warning: ignoring file /.../(Framework Name).framework/(Framework), missing required architecture x86_64 in file /.../(Framework Name).framework/(Framework) (2 slices)
Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
"_OBJC_CLASS_$_CLSNAME", referenced from:
objc-class-ref in ViewController.o
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
I also can't run this code on the iPhone 5 simulator (i386).
The iPhone device I have is outdated and can't run iOS 8. I tried setting the build settings to iOS 7 but I get an error regarding the lack of support for dynamic libraries before iOS 8.
Things to note:
I am using 2 projects, in 2 different workspaces. (one for the library and one for the demo app. Tests of the same code with the unit tests in the library project are successful.)
I used to be able to link the demo project with the library project until I had to do some changes in the library code. After I exported the newer version this error started occurring.
In order to get the library file/folder (.framework) I used the Archive option.
Running lipo -info outputs Architectures in the fat file: lib.a armv7 arm64
I have C++ code in the library project (unlikely to be the issue)
In the library project, I am using another external library I installed with Cocoa Pods (also used to work before changes in the library code)
Solutions I tried:
Changing the Architectures and the Valid Architectures list in Build Settings.
Setting "Build Active Architecture Only" to "No" in Build Settings.
Creating a new project (both for the demo and the library)
Making the library a static library (new project, got the same warning, no error, couldn't #import the files I needed)
I only started working with iOS and Xcode a couple of months ago and I am not super-experienced with everything there yet, so please try to explain everything with as much detail as you can.
Thanks in advance to anyone trying to help :)
Did you add the framework it says is missing? Also, try to delete the Derived Data folder and then clean the project. If that does not work, then turn off Modules in build settings.
I am trying to extract some features from audio files, MFCC to be accurate. Then I found a C library LibXtract, that would do the job for me.
I am trying to use LibXtract in iOS project, I have followed this tutorial
http://inote.apptrek.net/2011/10/howto-compile-native-c-codes-to-a-library-for-ios-development-in-xcode-take-mosquitto-for-an-example/
but I got some problems in process, first I got this warning
ld: warning: ignoring file ......./libLibXtract.a, missing required architecture i386 in file ..../libLibXtract.a
and those errors
Undefined symbols for architecture i386:
"_xtract_asdf", referenced from:
-[VoiceRecAppDelegate applicationWillResignActive:] in VoiceRecAppDelegate.o
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture i386
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
So I would like to ask for your help in this problem, I would like to extract the MFCC from scratch with only obj-C code if possible.

Omar
It sounds like you are trying to build your application with the Simulator as a target, but the LibXtract static library was not built for the i386 architecture.
You can confirm this with:
lipo -info /path/to/libxtract.a
The result from lipo should list the i386 architecture.
If it doesn't, then check that iphonesimulator is included in the Supported Platforms build setting in your LibXtract Xcode project and that i386 is included in the list of architectures.
It is also possible to compile autotools-based libraries for iOS/Simulator from the command line. Some instructions for this can be found here. Note: these are a little out-of-date so some of the options may need tweaking, although the principle remains the same.
However, it is far simpler to compile LibXtract into your application by dragging the LibXtract sources into your application's Xcode project!
I generally tend to have a "Libraries" group in my projects, under which I place third party sources (like LibXtract), as follows:
When dragging the files into your project ensure that you check the checkbox for your application in "Add to targets".
The LibXtract sources will then be compiled into your application and you can remove libxtract.a from your linker settings (or frameworks).
I created my own iOS framework by following this tutorial, https://code.google.com/p/ios-static-framework/, which uses a static library template and aggregate target with a custom run script to create a framework.
At first it works fine. After including another library in the framework project creates the error when archive or build for device. I think the problem is with some wrong settings for that library. But I just don't know what to try. I have tried setting some sensible Other Linker Flags from https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man1/ld.1.html , but no luck. Can anyone help please ;(
What steps will reproduce the problem?
Follow the tutorial, but change the Aggregate script architecture from armv6 armv7 to armv7 armv7s. Here is the part of the aggregate target script I changed. Everything else is the same.
if [[ "$SF_SDK_PLATFORM" = "iphoneos" ]]
then
SF_OTHER_PLATFORM=iphonesimulator
SF_ARCHS=i386
else
SF_OTHER_PLATFORM=iphoneos
SF_ARCHS="armv7 armv7s"

Add an external library to the project, here I use libBlocksKit.a.
Build the framework, success.
In another child project. Include my built framework.
Add -ObjC in the app Target > Build Settings > Other Linker Flags
Archive and get error. Building for device (iPhone5) gives error too. But building for simulator seems to work.
What is the error?
This error, basically "ld: warning: directory not found for option ... ld: lto: could not merge in ... symbol multiply defined!".
ld: warning: directory not found for option '-L/Users/hlung/Dropbox/- Notes/stackoverflow/RealFrameworkApp/RealFrameworkApp/External/BlocksKit'

clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
If I archive my child project with only one architecture (like armv7), it works. It shows this error with armv7 armv7s architectures ( $(ARCHS_STANDARD_32_BIT) ).
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
OS X 10.8.5, XCode 4.6.3

Posted an issue at the tutorial's code.google.com page Update: 2 weeks no answer.
I found a set of useful suggestions from this answer. Update: Doesn't work
I have created a project so you can run and see for yourself here
Linking against a static library from within a framework can create some interesting challenges... It sounds like you may be linking to BlocksKit from both your framework and your application projects.
You should link in only one of those places. Try removing libBlocksKit.a from the Link Libraries build phase of your framework, but leave it in the other project.
You can do like this:
Click on your project (targets)
Click on Build Settings
Under Library Search Paths, delete the paths
I hope it can help you.
I am attempting to use a static library (.a) for which I also have the header files (no .m files), but when I add the library to my target (without even referencing/importing the library in my project code), I receive the Undefined symbols for architecture armv7 linking error at compile time. The linker is complaining about classes that supposedly no longer exist in the newest version of the library, and may be using cached data? That suspicion could be supported by the finding that if I create a blank project and add the library in the exact same way as I added it to my project, the new project compiles without issue. But on another note, when I grep my file system for the classes/ivars the linker is complaining about, I get matches in my static library file and my xcuserdata workspace folders. So I am wondering if the issue is in my project, the library I am trying to import, or the way in which I am trying to add the library to my project? And also, why do I get linker errors when I am not even importing/calling the library from my code? I am using XCode 4.6.1.
The linking error is as follows:
Undefined symbols for architecture armv7:
"_OBJC_IVAR_$_GenericPopupView.delegateTheme", referenced from:
-[MyListView setDelegateTheme:] in myLib.a(MyListView.o)
-[MyListView tableView:cellForRowAtIndexPath:] in myLib.a(MyListView.o)
"_OBJC_CLASS_$_SampleMarkView", referenced from:
objc-class-ref in myLib.a(MyListView.o)
"_OBJC_CLASS_$_CheckMarkView", referenced from:
objc-class-ref in myLib.a(MyListView.o)
"_OBJC_METACLASS_$_GenericPopupView", referenced from:
_OBJC_METACLASS_$_MyListView in myLib.a(MyListView.o)
"_OBJC_CLASS_$_GenericPopupView", referenced from:
_OBJC_CLASS_$_MyListView in myLib.a(MyListView.o)
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture armv7
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
I added the library to my target by performing the following steps:
Right-click on my project
Select 'Add Files to "My Project"'
Locate the .a file through the popup Finder window
Verify the library path is in my Target -> Build Settings -> Library Search Paths (automatically added when I complete step 3)
Add the header directory to Target -> Build Settings -> Header Search Paths
Verify that the library is listed in Target -> Build Phases -> Link Binary With Libraries
Verify that the library is compiled for armv7 via file, otool, & lipo (I heard the library may also include armv6s, but I didn't see armv6 when I used the three commands)
$ file myLib.a
myLib.a: Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures
myLib.a (for architecture armv7): current ar archive random library
myLib.a (for architecture cputype (12) cpusubtype (11)): current ar archive random library
$ otool -L myLib.a
Archive : myLib.a (architecture cputype (12) cpusubtype (11))
…
$ lipo -info myLib.a
Architectures in the fat file: myLib.a are: armv7 (cputype (12) cpusubtype (11))
Here are things I have tried inbetween each compile attempt without any success:
Clean the project with (apple)+shift+k
Clean the build directory (DerivedData) with (apple)+alt+shift+k
Delete all the DerivedData directories from the command line
Remove and re-add the library and its headers to my project
Add the library without the headers
Put the libraries in a project that is a target dependency instead of in my project directly
Note that I am unable to add the library as a Target Dependency in Build Settings; should I be able to?
I am also unable to add the library to the target's Build Scheme (via XCode menu's Product -> Scheme -> Edit Scheme... -> Build -> +)
Check the minimum iOS version via iOS Deployment Target in Build Settings – both my target and the library are iOS 6.0
Removed all target search paths except those required for my project to build without the new library as shown below (most importantly I removed the DerivedData from the linker path); my overall project build settings (not the target's build settings) contains no other search paths
Header Search Paths
$(BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR)/usr/local/include
$(SRCROOT)/../MyLibDirectory/headers
Library Search Paths
$(inherited)
$(SRCROOT)/../TargetDependencyDirectory
$(SRCROOT)/../openssl/lib
$(SRCROOT)/../MyLibDirectory
Removed all other instances of the library on my machine (old versions)
Set the user-defined build setting USE_HEADERMAP = NO
Install on a newly imaged machine with a fresh project checkout and repeat all of the above steps
Add –ObjC++ to the other linker flags (-ObjC is already a linker flag)
Use armv6s by itself and with armv6 in the Valid Architecture under Build Settings for my target and the target dependencies
Set Build Active Architecture Only to Yes
Switched between adding the library in a project group vs. at the parent project group level
Add an import and instantiation of an object from the library in my project code
Played with the library's different settings for Location under Identity and Type in the Utilities window on the right side of XCode when the library is selected
Add the library to the target's Build Phases -> Link Binary With Libraries via the + then Add Other...
I have already tried the recommended steps in these and other posts (only the last two of these listed have actual instructions):
Xcode referencing old
framework
Xcode referencing old/removed frameworks, causing multiple interface
declarations
Xcode custom framework - No known method error
Undefined symbols for architecture armv7
I have not tried changing all of my files to .mm (I didn't need to for previous versions of this library), but I have a lot of .m files that I think might break if I change them all...
Any help or succestions are greatly appreciated! I'm really having a hard time figuring out why this new version of the library is giving me problems.
I resolved my own problem, or rather, the issue was with the black box of a library that I was including. From the command line performed the following command in a terminal window:
grep SampleMarkView myLib.a
Which resulted in:
Binary File:myLib.a matches
I talked to the person who created the library and they sent me an updated version that didn't cause the problem - I guess they had old references in their code. So at the very least I hope this post provides a list of various things to try if you are having a library referencing problem!
