Hi all,

Is there any progress for this ticket?

Thanks

[bianying@…]

This problem disappeared after upgrading XCode to 3.1.2.

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

@steven: Please confirm if updating to Xcode 3.1.2 solves the problem for you so we can close this ticket.

[steven@…]

I will try to upgrade my XCode (still having v3.0 it seems), but it's not normal that it fails to compile anyway right? I'll post the answer as soon as I have more information.

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

It compiles fine for me with Xcode 3.1.2. I think this is problem with Xcode 3.0 only.

[steven@…]

It compiles fine with XCode 3.1.2 yes. Still weird that 3.0 doesn't want to compile it.

See #17993 for explanation of XCode 3.0 linker bug
