Library not found for -llib. (clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation))

Question

I am working on a project that was previously done and uploaded on app store.When I run this app in Xcode 5.0 it is working fine but when I run this on Xcode Version 5.1.1 (5B1008) I am getting Linker error on both device and simulator.

Error Message- Library not found for -llib. (clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)).

I have searched a lot but I didn't get any thread about Library not found for -llib error. Is there anything I have to change in build settings to resolve this?

Answer 1

Look at the linker command line in detail for the -L options being used:

Then use Terminal or Finder to see if your libXXX.a file exists in those directories. If the library exists elsewhere then you need to configure your Library Search Paths:

However there several details which you have not provided in your question when using a library within an app:

• Is the library built as part of the Xcode project/workspace (as in the first image)?
• Is the library supplied by a third-party with binary (.a) and header files (as in the second image)?
