libtool failed with exit code 1 on XCode 4.3

Question

I have XCode 4.3 and I am getting this frustrating xml-lib related error. I have a feeling its because of the fact that 4.3 is not using /Developer folder but instead the /Applications/XCode.app/... The error message is below:

Libtool /Users/dkatz/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/RWEngines-ewchevfhokeivnffrputdqapsyxu/Build/Products/Release-iphonesimulator/RWEngines.framework/Versions/A/RWEngines normal i386
cd /Users/dkatz/Sites/xCode/RWA/RWEngines
setenv MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET 10.6
setenv PATH "/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/usr/bin:/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin"

And the actual error:

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/libtool failed with exit code 1

Thanks guys!

I also installed XCode 4.3 from App Store rather than the dmg file. Could that be the issue? – Humbug

Is your target iOS Simulator? – Mima

Answer 1

I was having this problem. I was following this tutorial for embedding webview in phonegap application- http://docs.phonegap.com/en/2.2.0/guide_cordova-webview_ios.md.html#Embedding%20Cordova%20WebView%20on%20iOS

i added'-Obj-C' in 'other linker flags' as said in point 12. I just changed -Obj-C to -ObjC and it worked !!

Answer 2

I don't know if this will help you, but I got rid of that error by removing the "-licucore" linker flag that was set in the "Other Linker flags" build setting. This seems to be the regex library for Mac OSX.

Where do i find that? I did a search via "licucore" in build and target and couldnt find it. I nmy other linker flags I have "-all_load -ObjC" – Humbug

In my project it was next to those flags. Sorry. Btw, turns out that it links the ICU lib for intl strings that is used by regex. I know, not pertinent. – Malediction

Ok, so exit 1 is a generic error. If you want to see a more detailed error message, you can copy/paste the first few lines from your post into the terminal and get the raw error message from libtool. – Malediction

Answer 3

I had this same issue when I was attempting to Archive for ad-hoc testing and discovered that it was complaining because I had a space character in my scheme name. To fix this I went to Manage Schemes and removed spaces from the name.

My specific error was

clang: error: '-I-' not supported, please use -iquote instead

Answer 4

I got this error when switching from Xcode 4.6 Developer Preview 1 to Xcode 4.6 Developer Preview 2

and the fix is to re-add all the frameworks to your projects !

All frameworks (iAd, QuartzCore, GameKit,StoreKit,etc) were still pointing to the Xcode path from DP1. I just needed to rebind them to DP2. Additionally when adding frameworks select "Relative to SDK"rather than "Absolute Path" as some frameworks (10% of them) were still pointing to the right path.

Answer 5

This might help.

In project build settings try removing the build settings for "Other Interface Builder Compiler Flags" (if -Wmost is set, set it to nil).

Project --> Build settings ---> Other Interface Builder Compiler Flags --> set to none(empty).
