How do I know which OSBundleLibrary to include when using XCode? - xcode

It seems that I am doing something wrong or the linker is not very good in xcode (I imagine is the first situation :) ) but I found that I need to manually add the OSBundleLibrary references on the plist.
The problem is that sometimes I don't know which bundles should I include, for example, I am building a kernel extension and I am using VFS, it compiles but when I try to load it into the kernel it complains that it can not resolve all the VFS functions.
I usually include "com.apple.kernel.bsd" but when I check samples of VFS I can see "com.apple.kpi.bsd", a bit confusing.
Can anyone share some light?
Thanks!

I found the solution, there is a reference link with all the extensions:

How to make CLion stop flagging PlatformIO dependencies with "file not found"?

I'm experimenting with using PlatformIO and the CLion IDE. I'm pretty new to C++ and writing for embedded hardware. I got PlatformIO working and my simple program compiles and runs but CLion highlights my PlatformIO dependencies as not being found.
I've seen it said that CLion looks where cmake looks, but CMakeLists.txt says
# !!! WARNING !!! AUTO-GENERATED FILE, PLEASE DO NOT MODIFY IT AND USE
# https://docs.platformio.org/page/projectconf/section_env_build.html#build-flags
That URL seems like a dead end in terms of helping me solve my problem.
Update:
I was playing a little bit more with CLion and PlatformIO and wanted to use the library manager as well.
The installed libraries are located in {PROJECT_DIR}/.pio/libdeps/
I was not able to detect all libraries automatically, but with the method described below, I could get rid of the CLion warninings by explicitly defining the dependencies in the CMakeListsUser.txt likes this
include_directories("${CMAKE_CURRENT_LIST_DIR}/.pio/libdeps/mkrwifi1010/Keyboard/src")
include_directories("${CMAKE_CURRENT_LIST_DIR}/.pio/libdeps/mkrwifi1010/WiFiNINA/src")
For the few dependencies I got, this is sufficient. But of course it is not ideal to add every dependency manually. So if somebody has a better solution, please share it.
Original Answer
I stumbled on a similar issue, but maybe this could help you or others.
In my case, I added the ArduinoLog library in the "lib" folder. Although I was able to compile my code, the import showed up as an error and I had no code completion.
As described in the XMakeList.txt, I was able to resolve this issue, by adding a "CMakeListsUser.txt" in the root project directory with the following content.
include_directories("${CMAKE_CURRENT_LIST_DIR}/lib")
After a rebuild and a restart I got no more errors and the code completion worked as expected. Maybe you can add the folder of your PlatformIO libraries there as well.
Seems like the best way to do it is to go to Tools->PlatformIO->Re-Init. New dependencies should stop showing up as missing.
It worked for me.

Is it possible to convert a DLL to a LIB file to avoid dependency?

I'm quite confused about linking tips. Supose I have an app that uses a dll, but I do not want to use it, I want to statically link with a lib and avoid the dependency for the dll. Is it possible?
It's impossible enough not to try if you want a solution to your problems instead of a bunch of new problems.
(I've managed to make something like that work a couple of times. One variant used a MemoryModule and loading from memory, another one used a heuristic to find cross-segment relocations and fix them up to re-separate code and data sections. Neither was remotely like something you may recommend to a person confused about linking tips).

vb6 user-defined type not defined error on full compile

I have some vb6 code I have not compiled in a long time. The last compile is in production. Now I get an error "User-defined type is not defined" when I do a full compile. I'm sure there is a reference missing. But there is no code that is hi-lighted. And I cannot seem to find what reference might be lost.
Any clues as to what I can do to find the missing reference would be very helpful.
Thanks!
Dave
I've had that happen before it drove me crazy!! But then I found this:
 
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/190197
 
Occurs when compiling with binary compatibility on. The above solution suggests turning off binary compatibility and re-compiling - then missing reference will then be highlighted.
Other steps you can try:
Rather than turning off BC for everything look for ones that have
been recently changed
search C: drive and dev folder and delete any
*.oca files
also look in the vbp file for any oca references
You need to ensure that you have the appropriate items checked in the References dialog. This is outside the code and they are listed in the VBP file (text file).
EDIT Corrected reference storage. Thanks MarkJ
Make sure all of your object types are spelled right. A simple error like spelling Variant Varient can cause this error as well.
Are you still using the same machine in which the original compile was made and / or with the same OS
?
If the answer is no, then there is a chance that VB6 or its like linked to a reference which is no longer available in Win7 or later, this may also include the compiler if you are using a modern version of studio.
Since the code is also in VB6, if you are using any outside commercial controls, and again if not on the same machine, you would loose those links as well if you did not port over the library.

Where are the files necessary to modify when adding a system call to linux-2.6.31

when i search for adding a system call, i get many articles but they seem to be for old versions, it also seems like a trivial process.
But the problem is, the directories that articles suggest does not hold for the version 2.6.31. does anyone know where unistd.h, syscall_table.S and syscalls.h or their corresponding files are?
Thanks in advance.
for unistd.h : $SOURCE_PATH/arch/x86/include/asm/unistd_32.h
for syscalls.h : $SOURCE_PATH/arch/x86/include/asm/syscalls.h
for syscall_table_32.h : $SOURCE_PATH/arch/x86/kernel/syscall_table_32.h
obviously i'm on x86 machine.
On most Linux systems such header files can be found under:
/usr/src/kernels/$KERNEL-VERSION/include/linux/
You need to have your kernel sources installed to be able to do any kernel development though, if that's what're trying to do, since unistd.h is part of the standard gcc library as well.

Converting .DLL to .SO

Can any one of you help me in converting an windows dll file in a .so file.
You might try re-compiling the source code to the dll to a shared object. This may help you get started, after ensuring the code is indeed portable.
Edit:
Here is yet another link that can help guide you through the process of creating a shared library using GCC and other parts of the GNU tool chain. This link will help you to discover pitfalls that other people had when undertaking a project similar to this.
There is only so much help that can be provided for such a specific task, especially with so many unknowns. If you elect to provide more information in your question, please leave a comment.
NB: I'm pulling these links right out of Google.
If you don't have the source, or can't recompile, you may be able to run the code under Wine.
You need to recompile again into an .so file.
