Can't compile App from Titanium Appcelerator with iOS OpenCV Module - xcode

I have an issue that is going on for over a month and I can't find any solution for it.
I created an Appcelerator Titanium Module, which uses the OpenCV framework.
I tried literally everything I found on the internet to make it work, but no sucess.
The module compiles, but it crashes when building the App that uses it.
To dig deep in the problem, I compile the App via CLI using appc run -p ios -l trace to see the whole thing. This is what I get:
[TRACE] ld: framework not found opencv2 [TRACE] clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
This happens if I declare the framework in the module.xconfig file, like this:
OTHER_LDFLAGS=$(inherited) -framework opencv2
If I don't declare it in the file, I get:
[TRACE] symbols not found for architecture x86_64 [TRACE] clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
Well, the opencv2.framework file is inside the /ios folder in the module.
This is what I tried so far, to put the OpenCV Framework in the project:
OpenCV Official Example for XCode
Compiling it from scratch and then adding to the Project
brew install opencv and then adding it to the project
I configured Framework Search Paths like this:
$(inherited) $(PROJECT_DIR) $(SRCROOT)
Header Search Paths like this:
$(inherited) "$(TITANIUM_SDK)/iphone/include" /usr/local/Cellar/opencv/4.4.0/include (this last one, when installed by brew CLI command.
The Other Linker Flags, is configured like this:
This configuration I got from this tutorial: OpenCV on XCode
And finally, I tried adding the .dylib files from the source of the OpenCV Framework in the project by right-clicking the project's name and Add Files.
So, I tried everything I could find to solve it, but I can't get it to work.
Sorry for the long question, but I am completly out of ideas on how to make this work.
Please, help me!

First of all, the opencv2.framework is copied automatically to the XCode /ios folder (if you selected Copy Files if Needed). BUT, Appcelerator needs 3rd party frameworks to be put on /ios/platform folder. So, I moved it there.
Secondly I added -lz to the Other Linker Flags in Build Settings.
This solved the problem. I must thank the team and developers from TiSlack (An Appcelerator platform community), which helped me through this. Michael and Hans, Thanks!

Here is a video that helped me install OpenCV4 on my Macbook Pro Mojave 10.14.6. I tried installing OpenCV using another video and it led me to getting a linker error that was similar to yours.
Basically, the problem was the path I specified as for my /lib and /include folders.

runtime error ‘symbol not found in flat namespace’ on macOS 12 but not macOS 10.15, with both Xcode and CMake builds

I have problems building an executable file for a simple disease-transmission model implemented in C++, using cmake under macOS Monterey (v12.6.1). When I build the executable file, I obtain the following error when I try running it:
dyld[5281]: symbol not found in flat namespace (_cblas_caxpy) Abort trap: 6
The problem persists when I try to use XCode (v14.0.1) instead, resulting in the same error message.
Interestingly, my friend is able to build (& run) the executable file under macOS v10.15.7 without any problems.
Does anybody know what is going on here and how this issue can be resolved? The C++ project is publicly available on GitHub: https://github.com/AnnaMariaL/DengueSim
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks!

tried: build an executable file with cmake, and Xcode under MacOS v12.16.1
expected: executable file
the program runs fine when launched under Xcode itself, but if I try to run the built executable from Xcode on the command line, that fails with the same error as for the CMake executable. So Xcode itself is, somehow, magically able to get this linker issue to resolve.
Your title/post is very confusing, however the issue isn't with cmake. It's with your cblas library and/or your linker. Look at the bug closely:
dyld[5281]: symbol not found in flat namespace (_cblas_caxpy) Abort trap: 6
Your linker is telling you that it can't find a function (symbol) in the given namespace. This is either due to the fact that your linker doesn't know where to find the correct library or you are linking against a wrong version of the library that doesn't have the symbols. The other issues might be related to how the library was built and with what it was built (architecture, compiler, etc...). This we can't answer because we don't have enough information to know for sure.

ld: warning: directory not found for option '-F~/Documents/FacebookSDK' - react-native - ios

I have been trying to deal with a lot of problems since I upgraded the react-native version of my app.
One of those was this that came out of nowhere!
ld: warning: directory not found for option '-F~/Documents/FacebookSDK'
Followed by these (which caused extra confusion)
ld: library not found for -lRCTWebSocket clang: error: linker command
failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
How can I solve this?
I did some googling and used some tips trying to solve it. Most of them did not work. So I decided I should share the solution that worked for me.
Quote from another SO discussion:
if your error includes the -L flag, then delete the values in Library
Search Paths if your error includes the -F flag, then delete the
values in Framework Search Paths
I checked the framework search path values under Build Settings
It was like this:
For both Release and Debug configurations.
I deleted the line for FacebookSDK (line 3) from both release and debug configurations, and did another react-native run-ios.
And it worked!
I hope this helps...

library not found for -lBaiduMapApi

I use cocoaPods in my current project.
Because the 'Baidu map iOS SDK' don't have a pod spec so I just create one.
The 'Baidu map iOS SDK' use a '.a' static library and some header files, I add them into my project through cocoaPods
But when I build my project, it always has an error:
ld: library not found for -lBaiduMapApi
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
I google it then I try to set the Library Path in Xcode.
Both in my project and the target in Pods.
I am sure the path is correct, but the error still there.
Can somebody help me?
It's weird......
I remove whole my project and Recreate a new one.
And config the Podfile, update .....
When I back to the Xcode, build, Success!!!
I can find another way to solve this problems

Library not found OpenCV

I'm on mac 10.7.5, using xcode 4.6.2 and working with the OpenCV 2.4.3 library. I went through the process of making the build directory with the cmake files in terminal and did the download.
I added the .dylib files in Xcode and changed the header path, changed C++ Library to libstdc++, but when I compiled I got this error :
ld: library not found for -lopencv_calib3d.2.4.3
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1
I have libopencv_calib3d.2.4.3.dylib added in the project so I have no idea what else it needs.Any ideas?
If your "make back-end" is Cmake you should stick to using it. Local config changes in Xcode can "secretly" be overwritten when the cmake is rerun (which for example happens after you make changes to it) creating weird build errors and forcing you to remember all the manual changes you made.
Your problem seems to be that the generated project doesn't seem to know where to look for opencv.
Assuming you installed opencv using macports you should add a line saying
link_directories(/opt/local/lib)
to your CMakeLists.txt. (if you installed it using brew, or compiled it manually just replace /opt/local/lib for /usr/local/lib or the path to your compiled libraries)
Also make sure to link against opencv_calib3d instead of opencv_calib3d.2.4.3 (unless you have a very particular reason for bypassing this, but that usually means that something else is weird in the setup :) )
Final pointer that you might already know of: As you are already using Cmake you should add the libraries to link against using TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(...) in Cmake rather than manually adding them in Xcode (referring to my previous argument).

Help on installing a library like libical into Xcode

I would like to use the libical library in my project, but I have never used an external library before. I have downloaded the libical files, but I am pretty much stuck there. I do not how how, or even if, I need to build/extract them and then how to get them into Xcode. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
If this a pre-built library then you can just drag it into your Xcode project (or use Project => Add to Project…) in the same way that you would for source/header files.
If it's not pre-built then you'll need to build it for whatever environments and architecture you want to target. If it comes with an Xcode project then this is easy. If it's just the usual open source type of distribution then you usually do something like this:
$ ./configure
$ ./make
$ sudo ./make install
That will typically put the built library(ies) and header(s) into somewhere like /usr/local/lib and /usr/local/include. In your main Xcode project you can then just add these header(s) and library(ies) to your project.
Note that if you're cross-compiling, e.g. for iPhone, then you'll need to add some flags to the ./configure command so that you target the correct architecture, e.g. ./configure -build=arm-apple-darwin9.0.0d1.
Note also that it's usually a good idea to check MacPorts to see if they have already fixed up a given open source project for Mac OS X - this can save you a lot of work.
See also this blog about building and using libical on iPhone.
Getting libical to configure and build for arm is more tricky then ./configure -build=arm-apple-darwin.
See this question and answer for more details: Compiling libical
