Title Body

I want to use the ASSIMP library http://assimp.sourceforge.net in an iOS project. Unfortunately, I'm not very experienced with makefiles and that stuff, so I need some help. I've downloaded the sources and first I tried to build with make (in the code-subfolder) In the makefile I've added INCLUDEFLAGS = -I/Lib because my boost header-files are in /Lib/boost Executing make static succeeds with some warnings. A static library (.a) is generated. Then I tried to add the .a-file to my xcode-project and specified the assimp-header folder as additional include directory (Other Search Paths). Linking failed with the message that the library has not the right architecture (i386 required for the simulator) file libassimp.a outputs: "libassimp.a: current ar archive random library" How can I build the library for the i386 architcture and for arm6 or arm7, whatever I need on an iOS device? Is it ok to use the boost-headers only or is it better/necessary to build boost as a library? Currently I'm using boost headers only, which should be fine since boost is a header only library?! There is also a cmake - makefile (CMakeLists.txt). cmake is the recommended way of building the library but I don't have any experience with cmake. Or another thought: Is it possible to build a library via xcode? The final result should be a library for i386, arm6 and arm7 architecture. What shall I do? And how? Edit: I've just discovered that there are the following preprocessor checks in the file aiDefines.h : #if defined(_MSC_VER) // See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/b0084kay. # if defined(_M_IX86) # define ASSIMP_BUILD_X86_32BIT_ARCHITECTURE # elif defined(_M_X64) # define ASSIMP_BUILD_X86_64BIT_ARCHITECTURE # elif defined(_M_IA64) # define ASSIMP_B
