Compile ziparchive on a static library in an iPhone project

[GoogleCodeExporter]

It would be great if you describe how to add the static library in detail...

I did the following:

I downloaded your attached project
I build it (with the build parameter release)
I started the Finder
I added the static library by Add Existing Framework -> Add Other -> choose the 
libziparchive.a
I added the path to the header files in the target-properties "Header Search 
Paths" (relative Path and recursive)
I cleaned the project
I build the project

My Code is the follwoing:

blabla.h:

#import "ZipArchive.h"

blabla.m

    ZipArchive* za = [[ZipArchive alloc] init];
    if( [za UnzipOpenFile:fromfile] )
    {
        BOOL ret = [za UnzipFileTo:todirectory overWrite:YES];
        if( NO==ret )
        {
        }
        [za UnzipCloseFile];
    }

And the error that i get while building the project is:

ld: warning: in /Users/hannessatz/Documents/DownloadFile/libziparchive.a, file 
was built for unsupported file format which is not the architecture being 
linked (i386)


  ".objc_class_name_ZipArchive", referenced from:


      literal-pointer@__OBJC@__cls_refs@ZipArchive in ABDownloadEPub.o


ld: symbol(s) not found


collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Did you face such a problem already?

That project is set to build a static library for iPhoneOS. If you get info on 
the project, you'll se that in the Build tab, the "Valid Architectures" 
variable is set to be "armv6 armv7". You are probably using this static library 
in a Mac OS X application, not an iPhoneOS one, that's why that error pops up.

Static libraries are the only way when developing for iPhone. You'll probably 
want to take a look on how to generate a dynamic library if you are developing 
an application for Mac OS X.
Take a look at

:: Edited to correct information on the build variable

Never tried to compile a static library from the terminal, as I use Xcode for 
development. Sorry!

CommonCrypto library seems to support AES. Take a look at this:
