iOS CorePlot how to install
core-plot, ios, objective-c
Solution
Foundry's answer is great if you use Cocoapods, but I'll will provide you a step-by-step guide to do it manually :
- Create a folder named `Workspace`, and create a new "testCoreplot" project in it from within Xcode.
- Download CorePlot, and copy the "Source/framework" folder into your workspace folder. Rename it "CoreplotFramework" in order to avoid issues if you add others frameworks this way later.
You should have this :
- Launch your testCoreplot project, and drag the file "CorePlot-CocoaTouch.xcodeproj" from the finder in it.
- Selet the testCoreplot target, go to 'Build Phases" tab, and add "CorePlot-CocoaTouch" in "target dependencies" section and "libCorePlot-CocoaTouch.a" in "Link Binary With Libraries" section. Add the `Accelerate` framework too for release 2.0.
- Go to "Build settings" tab, look for "Header search paths" and add `$(SRCROOT)/../CoreplotFramework` . Be sure you select `recursive` .
- Still in this "build settings" tab, add the `-ObjC` flag
Go to ViewController.m and add
#import "CorePlot-CocoaTouch.h"
Compile, everything should be right !
Problem
I am trying to use CorePlot in one of my iOS projects, but even after following the instructions and looking around online, I haven't managed to correctly install the framework. I feel like the documentation has not evolved and no longer describes the correct way to install the framework. I followed these instructions. But some things do not make sense to me, either because they are no longer current or because I don't understand. For instance, when I am told to add the library to the "Link binaries with binary" section, the Core Plot library is highlighted in red. Then when I am told to edit the Header Search Paths, I don't understand what to do because the .xcodeproj file I dragged into my project does not have a "framework" folder. Could anyone please give up-to-date, noob-friendly instructions? Thank you. Edit: I tried to install according to the instructions below (manual installation) and I am now getting three errors: ``` Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64: "_vDSP_maxvD", referenced from: -[CPTPlot plotRangeForField:] in libCorePlot-CocoaTouch.a(CPTPlot.o) "_vDSP_minvD", referenced from: -[CPTPlot plotRangeForField:] in libCorePlot-CocoaTouch.a(CPTPlot.o) ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64 clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation) ```
