ANT Forum

I'm running the demo with the dynamic library on mac. I'd like to be able to package the libant.dylib with the demo executable but it seems that I need to put libant.dylib in /usr/local/lib/ for demo_dylib to find it. What settings in the Xcode project do I need to change to make the dynamic library loader look in the same folder that demo_dylib is in?

Thanks,
Reid      

We do not have much experience with distributing Mac applications, but you may find some useful information for settings for the dynamic linking here

Hello Reid,

Have you found a solution???

I'm developing also on xcode..

thanks

Yes. I had to set the rpath on the dylib and the loader path on the executable. I ended up putting the dylib in a Library folder and referenced it in the loader path with a relative reference      

Are you using xcode 4? I can't compile the demo project with it!      

Yes. I had to add a void pointer cast. I'll post it when I get back to my pc      

in dsi_timer.hpp, I had to change line 48 to this:
DSITimer(DSI_THREAD_RETURN (*fnTimerFunc_)(void *) = (void*(*)(void*))NULL, void *pvTimerFuncParameter_ = NULL, ULONG ulInterval_ = 0, BOOL bRecurring_ = FALSE);

for libant, I set Dynamic Library Installation Name to @rpath/libant.dylib.
for the demo dll executable, I set the run path search path to @loader_path/../Library
Then I put the library in that location relative to the executable.      

Any chance you can send me your demo project... still no luck to find where it block!!!
