c++ - STD linker error with Apple LLVM 4.1

Question

I've got a large static library in C++ with bits of Objective-C originally built for iOS (armv7).

I built a OS X (64-bit Intel x86_64) version of it, but as soon as I tried to use it in a OS X app project (targeted to Lion 10.7), tens of linker errors appeared, most of them about standard library symbols.

I know how to solve "my" linker problems, but the STD ones copied below are bugging me.

"std::_Rb_tree_insert_and_rebalance(bool, std::_Rb_tree_node_base*, std::_Rb_tree_node_base*, std::_Rb_tree_node_base&)"
"std::cerr"
"std::cout"

I checked my build settings, my project links to the standard library (-stdlib=libc++) and I can use std::cout without any problem in my main.cpp.

I changed the compiler in the build settings from Apple LLVM 4.1 to LLVM GCC 4.2 and the problem disappeared. I want to keep using Apple LLVM 4.1. How can I fix that?

Thanks!

Answer 1

In iOS 7 I use a library for charts and have the same issue. In this case lib stdc++ does not resolve the issue.

I add the stdc++.6.dylib to my build phase and the symbols are found.
