How Can I link custom .dylib library in to another project in iOS?
-
Hello,
I am using MAC and window both system.
OS: Windows 10
Tool: visual studio 2017, and QT.
I create one of the Custom Library, Its name is SquidstateLibrary. I am able to build and run SquidStateLibrary. I am using SquidstateLibrary.dll file and SquidstateLibrary.lib file into ChargeDischarge2 project.I copy SquidStateLibrary.dll file in out put directory of ChargeDischarge2 by post -build event in visual studio. ChargeDischarge2 project work fine (I am able to build).
OS: IOS
Tool: Qt
How can I do same thing on IOS? I am able build the SquidStateLibrary and generate .dylib files in output directory.
libSquidStateLibrary.1.0.0.dylib
libSquidStateLibrary.1.0.dylib
libSquidStateLibrary.1.dylib
libSquidStateLibrary.dylibWhat are the other steps require to use the .dylib file in ChargeDischarge2 project on IOS?
what are the modification require in .pro file?
where do I need to set the path for script in ChargeDischarge2 Project?
(script for: copy the SquidStatelLibrary.dylib file in to MacOs/contain file).Here SquidStateLibrary .pro file

Hi,
How are you linking to them in your project ?
The same rules applies to all platform for libraries: add the
-L/path/to/folder/of/liband-lnameoflibto yourLIBSinstruction in your .pro file. -
As I mention in ChargeDischarge2 .pro file I link SquidstateLibrary with help of two steps.
- set the include Path
./../../../../DllFileCreator/SquidStateLibrary \- set the library folder path
LIBS += -L"./../../../../out/Release/squidstatelibrary" \ -lSquidStateLibraryThe Only Different is that On Windows system I build the Squidstatelibrary with help of visual stuido 2017, and generate the .dll and .lib. and with help of post build event I copy the .dll file into
DESTDIR = ../../../../out/Release/prebuiltOn mac system, I build the Squidstatelibrary with help of Qt software, and it is generate
four .dylib file inDESTDIR = ../../out/Release/squidstatelibrarylibSquidStateLibrary.1.0.0.dylib
libSquidStateLibrary.1.0.dylib
libSquidStateLibrary.1.dylib
libSquidStateLibrary.dyliband manually copy into the libSquidStateLibrary library file into
DESTDIR = ../../../../out/Release/prebuiltI read some of place for Mac version, I may need to create myapp.app package, and use command "install_name_tool". As this per my understanding, I need to use this steps while deploying application for mac, so that I do not require to use this steps at this time, Please correct me if I am wrong.
