Hi friends!

I got box2d running on the iPhone, just including all files into my project.
My question is: is it possible to build box2d as a static lib for the iPhone?

I already asked this question on Box2D forums, but not reply. Can you help me? Did anyone try it?

Thanks a lot.

Create a new static library target and add all the Box2D source files to that instead of your application target. Then include the static library into your main app. That's really all there is to it.

You can also make a separate project for it and include the target in your game project. XCode can build targets across projects. Though you might need to fiddle with header paths then.

Thanks. I thought it was not possible.
BTW, should I add to my project something like -libBox2d?

No, you add the static lib target as a dependency to your app target (so it knows to build it first), and add the static lib from the "products" folder to the list of libraries to link.

You could do it using linker flags as well, but it's usually a PITA in Xcode.
