Adding and deploying static *.a library. How?
-
Hello all!
I have static library libzip.a. How to add and deploy it in Qt project and start to use it?
When I am trying to compile I have this error:Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64: "_crc32", referenced from: __zip_string_crc32 in libzipstatic.a(zip_string.c.o) (maybe you meant: _z_crc32_combine64, _z_crc32_combine , _z_crc32_z , _z_crc32 , __zip_string_crc32 ) ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64 clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation) ** BUILD FAILED ** The following build commands failed: Ld Debug-iphonesimulator/plainc_libzip.app/plainc_libzip normal x86_64 (1 failure) make: *** [xcodebuild-debug-simulator] Error 65 12:29:10: The process "/usr/bin/make" exited with code 2. Error while building/deploying project plainc_libzip (kit: Qt 5.12.1 for iOS Simulator) When executing step "Make"I have:

Hi,
If it's a static library you don't need to deploy it.
From the looks of the error you likely have a 32 bit build while you are building a 64 bit application.

Solution found for MacOS and iOS.
It's might be working well for another platforms. I haven't tested it yet.Every library that is using by libzip should be added manually to the QT project and if it's not by default in the system you need to build it like static. If there zlib - then add it manually, if there SSL - then add it manually, etc
The step-by-step guidance for building libzip published by me on Github
There are couple of strange things that I found (I don't know the cause of it):
- In the directory where located library appeared couple of symlinks on the real shared library file when I am attaching it to QT project via symlinks it's not working, only direct original file attaching to project working well (it's mean important for attaching zlib from system folder). See the screenshot
- The libzip library only working when you attaching it to QT Project like statical library (*.a), all of attempts of using like shared/dynamic libraray (*.dylib) have got failed, even it's installed like the operational system part.
Code from that works for me *.pro file:
macx { LIBS += -lz.1 LIBS += -L$$PWD/libs/libzip/ -lzipstatic INCLUDEPATH += $$PWD/libs/libzip DEPENDPATH += $$PWD/libs/libzip PRE_TARGETDEPS += $$PWD/libs/libzip/libzipstatic.a } ios { LIBS += -lz.1 LIBS += -L$$PWD/libs/libzip/ -lzipstatic INCLUDEPATH += $$PWD/libs/libzip DEPENDPATH += $$PWD/libs/libzip PRE_TARGETDEPS += $$PWD/libs/libzip/libzipstatic.a }SUPER-MEGA-HUGE (SMH) thanks to Thomas Klausner (one of authors of libzip). He has been helping me to solve this trouble.
