Compile generate 0 byte files on OS X

Amott

I just realizze that I spoke too fast, my other project was working but it was to generate a .app not a lib...
I retried to create a lib step by step :
-create a lib project -> works
-add include path to ODA library to the project -> works
-use a variable of ODA -> error above
-add libstdc++ to qmake -> generate empty files
So the problem comes from either ODA or libstdc++, I will continue to search the solution

Is ODA built against the old C++ library ?

Amott

I don't know, the package is named "Teigha_macOsX_x64_10.11" and the mac is in 64bit on OS X 10.11. I will ask in the ODA forum to know
Edit : I can generate some files now ! I change qmake argument to CFLAGS="-arch x86_64" but at a certain point it generate me the error above.

The best would be to ensure what were the parameters used to build that library. It's surprising if they don't use libc++.

Amott

I have made a test with the command "file" to know what kind of library is it, here are my results :

a random lib in /usr/lib :

Mach-0 universal binary with 2 architectures
(for architecture x68_64): Mach-0 64-bit dynamically linked shared library x86_64
(for architecture i386): Mach-0 dynamically linked shared library i386

a lib from ODA :

current ar archive random library

I'm not sure of what it means, the library is not compatible with the Mac ?

I use that ODA library on OSX and I link it with the c library like this...

LIBS += -lc++ \
-lTD_Db \
... other ODA libs

and it works fine.

@kenchan

Thanks for your response ! I have tried again but I still have the same error. Which version of OSX, ODA and XCode are you using ?

Amott

I finally found the solution : I needed a line on the .pro :
QMAKE_LFLAGS += -framework CoreFoundation

SGaist

Strange… You should have had undefined symbols errors…

In any case it should rather be: LIBS += -framework CoreFoundation

Amott

it works too, I will replace this variable. It strange but it works, after 3 weeks, I'm so happy that something works taht I won't search why it doesn't make me an error !
