MonoTouch 3rd Party Library Works With 4.2 But Not 5.0

I have a third party library which I finally have working within my MonoTouch app. However, it will only compile for the simulator when I set the SDK to 4.2. If I set it to 5.0, the linker will fail. It will compile to 5.0 for an actual device. What is the gcc_s.10.5 that its asking for and where should it be located?

The answers above were on the right approach. The same problem occurred on a different project as well. In the end I upgraded from Snow Leopard to Lion, upgraded to latest xcode and its all ok now.

libgcc_s is likely a dependency of libGrabbaDriver.a which you're linking your MonoTouch project with.

 ld: library not found for -lgcc_s.10.5

The name of that library might have changed, i.e. it's not identical on my iOS 5.1 system.

 /Applications//Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS5.1.sdk/usr/lib/libgcc_s.1.dylib

From there I would assume you need to:

  • link your application with the newer library (hoping there's no internal changes);

  • rebuild the native library to have it linked with the right (newer) version of libgcc_s

It looks like your system is in an inconsistent state.

MonoTouch does not try to link with libgcc_s, and a bit of googling shows that it doesn't look related to MonoTouch at all.

I would try to uninstall and reinstall Xcode again (you might have to install MonoTouch again too, since Xcode might delete it in some circumstances):
