AllJoynChat sample - directory not found for option '-L/build/Debug-iphoneos' - alljoyn

Question

I tried to build the AllJoynChat sample and got the following error message:
ld: warning: directory not found for option '-L/build/Debug-iphoneos'
ld: library not found for -lssl
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
I am using Xcode 7.2 and iOS 9.2 SDK. Any help?

Answer 1

It seems like your the build cannot find openssl library.
The following steps need to be followed exactly as below:
Unzip the AllJoyn SDK package to a folder on your development system.
Download and copy the OpenSSL source into a separate folder on your development system, not under the AllJoyn SDK.
Navigate to the OpenSSL source top folder in Finder, and copy the openssl.xcodeproj folder you downloaded from GitHub into this folder.
Open the openssl.xcodeproj in Xcode.
In Xcode, build the crypto target (libssl.a and libcrypto.a) for each
combination of configuration (debug|release) and platform (iphoneos|iphonesimulator) that you need for your iOS project by selecting Product->Build For->(your desired configuration).
Create a new folder called "build" under the top-level OpenSSL folder created in step 1.
Locate your OpenSSL build products folders (i.e.: Debug-iphoneos) in the
/Users//Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/XXXXXXXXXXXXX-openssl/Build/Products folder, and copy all the - folders, like Debug-iphoneos, to the build
folder created in step 6.
You should now have a folder structure similar to this containing libssl and libcrypto
for each $(CONFIGURATION)-$(PLATFORM_NAME) you built in step 5:
openssl-1.0.1c
build
Debug-iphoneos
libssl.a
libcrypto.a
Debug-iphonesimulator
libssl.a
libcrypto.a
Define an environment variable OPENSSL_ROOT=
This environment variable needs to be present whenever you build projects using the AllJoyn SDK.
9a. For Mac OS X 10.7 to 10.9, to set the environment variable, open a Terminal window and type the
following:
launchctl setenv OPENSSL_ROOT <path to top level folder containing openssl>
Restart XCode.
9b. With Mac OS X 10.10, environment variable processing changed. Most importantly, OPENSSL_ROOT
must be defined before launching Xcode (Xcode will not pick up new or changed variables
after launching). Therefore, to set the environment variable, open a Terminal window and type
the following:
launchctl setenv OPENSSL_ROOT <path to top level folder containing openssl>
sudo killall Finder
sudo killall Dock
Restart XCode.
If you have already done the above check step 9 since the step differs for different version of OS X and you may be on the latest version for which the instructions have not been updated yet.
