Ethereum API compilation error on Binance using Swift 4 and XCode
I am encountering an error while trying to compile my Ethereum API project using Swift 4 and XCode on MacOS 10.13/10.14. The issue is related to the Binance API that I have integrated into my project.
Problem:
The issue occurs when I try to compile a new file in my project directory. When I run the swift build command, it gives an error pointing to the following line:
/bin/ld: cannot find -lbinanceapi
This indicates that the Binance API is not linked properly.
README file:
I have checked the official Binance API Swift 4 README file and the instructions seem correct. Here is a summary of what I did:
- Created an Xcode project with a new Swift package called “BinanceApi”.
- Added the necessary import statements for the Binance API.
- Integrated the Ethereum API into my project using the “import Ethereum” statement.
XCode Build Settings:
I added the following build settings to my XCode project settings:
- “OTHER_LDFLAGS”: “-lEthereum”.
- “BinanceAPI_KEY”: “YOUR_API_KEY_HERE”
- “BinanceAPI_SECRET”: “YOUR_API_SECRET_HERE”
However, I noticed that some of these flags were missing or missing. This indicates that the XCode build process was trying to link to a different library than I specified.
Solution:
To resolve this issue, I recommend checking the following:
- Make sure you have added the Binance API to your project in Swift Package Manager (SPM) by running the command “swift package add BinanceApi”.
- Check that you are using the correct version of the Ethereum library and its dependencies.
- Make sure that XCode is configured to link to the correct library.
Additional Tips:
- Make sure that your Xcode Preferences are set correctly to allow you to build a new project using Swift 4.
- Use the XCode Command Line Tool (CCT) or Xcode Organizer to build and run your project, as this can help identify any issues that are not present in the XCode project settings.
Conclusion:
After troubleshooting the issue, I believe it is caused by a few factors:
- The Binance API is not linked correctly.
- Missing or incorrect flags “OTHER_LDFLAGS”.
I hope this helps you resolve the Ethereum API compilation error on Binance with Swift 4 and XCode. If you are still having issues, please provide more information about the log output as this may help you determine the root cause of the issue.
