问题
Upgrading to XCode 3.2.3 and iPhone 3.2/4.0 SDK has introduced a strange bug into my build process.
I have a static library, Compton, which itself depends on three20. I build Compton as a dependency of the client apps that it powers.
When I compile Compton as its own project in either simulator or device mode, 3.2 or 4.0 SDK, everything compiles fine, no errors.
When I compile a client app that references Compton using the 3.2 or 4.0 SDK, simulator, targeting the iPhone or iPhone / iPad on 3.2, everything works great, no compile errors, and the app runs as expected in the simulator.
When I compile the exact same project changing nothing except the build settings from simulator to device, however, I get the following linking errors that I cannot seem to banish after hours of messing with #import statements, search paths, build settings, etc. The part I'm really frustrated with is that the simulator versions are building and running fine, it seems like a tiny little config problem. I'm pasting the errors below, it looks like the Compton classes, from the perspective of building my project in device mode, can't "see" some of the three20 headers.
I'm using the trunk version of three20, pulled today.
Here is the output from the linking errors:

Can anyone help me figure out what may be going wrong here?
Update: I've eliminated the duplicate symbol linking error by using the fork of three20 and process described here and removing the -all_load linker flag on three20 and Compton. The really crazy problem that I'm stuck on remains: I can compile and run the app fine in the simulator, but when compiling for the device, I get the above linking errors.
Update 2: I've resolved the issue, added an answer and accepted it. The problem was indeed a build config setting - if you're using the 4.0 SDK, you need to set "Architectures" to "Optimized (armv7)".
回答1:
From what I can tell, you built libCompton while liking it directly to three20, this is going to cause nothing but hell. Linking static libraries together and trying to use that in the final project isn't going to be fun. Link three20 against your application as well, and it should resolve your issues, compton should just need the headers in order to compile, it will just require those symbols to be present at final linking in your app.
回答2:
I've now resolved this issue, the answer came through on the Apple Developer Forums. If you set the base SDK to > 3.2, you need to set the "Architectures" option in Build settings to Optimized (armv7).
The code now compiles and just fine on the simulator and the device.
