How to get the example of MSCollectionViewCalendarLayout working

Question

I downloaded the MSCollectionViewCalendarLayout and now I wanted to try out the example. If I open the Example.xcodeproj I only get errors e.g.

Lexical or Preprocessor Issue 'RestKit/RestKit.h' file not found

I tried the tip from the troubleshooting guide to change the project settings but it didn't worked. If I open the Example.xcworkspace I also only get errors.

Seems that the libraries are outdated. Is there a chance to get this project running?

Edit:

Now I tried to install cocoapods. I created a .profile file in my home directory (where Documents, Desktop, Downloads resides in). I put this text into the file

export GEM_HOME=$HOME/.gem
export PATH=$GEM_HOME/bin:$PATH

and then I run

gem install cocoapods --user-install

Because he didn't do something (was in the next line in terminal) I pressed q. Then he did something and I got the following warning

WARNING: You don't have /Users/my-user/.gem/ruby/2.0.0/bin in your PATH, gem executables will not run.

Then I reopened the Xcode example, but I'm still getting the error that RestKit.h can't be found. What I'm doing wrong?

Edit 2:

Now I tried to use pod install in the example directory, but the pod command was not found. So I edited the PATH in .profile to this

export PATH=$GEM_HOME/ruby/2.0.0/bin:$PATH

Then I restarted terminal and run the command again

Afterwards I opened Example.xcworkspace and got the error described by Jakub Vano. Then I unlocked and edited the MASUtilities.h according to this link (commented enum and added the static const).

Now I got the project running!

When I reinstalled CocoaPods it compiled almost fine except for known issue with Masonry: https://github.com/SnapKit/Masonry/issues/82 — Jakub Vano, May 18 '15 at 11:33
Thanks for your comment. Now I tried to install CocoaPods, but it still doesn't work (see my edited question). Do you know whats wrong? — grabner, May 18 '15 at 12:06
After you installed CocoaPods utility, you need to run `pod install` in the Example directory, and open from `.xcworkspace` after that. — Jakub Vano, May 18 '15 at 12:19
Thank you very much. Now it works! Can you post your comments as an answer? Then I can accept it. — grabner, May 18 '15 at 13:34

You need to re-install CocoaPods for Example project:

run pod install in the Example project directory
run the project from the .xcworkspace

There will still be compile errors caused by known issue with Masonry - as mentioned on linked issue, workaround is to replace problematic enum with

typedef float MASLayoutPriority;
static const MASLayoutPriority MASLayoutPriorityRequired = UILayoutPriorityRequired;
static const MASLayoutPriority MASLayoutPriorityDefaultHigh = UILayoutPriorityDefaultHigh;
static const MASLayoutPriority MASLayoutPriorityDefaultMedium = 500;
static const MASLayoutPriority MASLayoutPriorityDefaultLow = UILayoutPriorityDefaultLow;
static const MASLayoutPriority MASLayoutPriorityFittingSizeLevel = UILayoutPriorityFittingSizeLevel;

Perhaps you can help out another time. Now I tried it again and I get `ndefined symbols for architecture i386: "_RKLogCoreDataError", referenced from: ___33-[RKEntityByAttributeCache load:]_block_invoke in libRestKit.a(RKEntityByAttributeCache.o) ___43-[RKManagedObjectImporter finishImporting:]_block_invoke in libRestKit.a(RKManagedObjectImporter.o) ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture i386 clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)`. Only found [this thread](https://github.com/CocoaPods/CocoaPods/issues/2876), but that didn't helped. – testing Jul 29 '15 at 10:43
Please consider opening another question with new problem - that way questions wont get mixed up, and you might get solutions from other people as well.. – Jakub Vano Jul 29 '15 at 15:05
Yes, sir! [Here](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/31704466/mscollectionviewcalendarlayout-example-undefined-symbols-for-architecture) you are. – testing Jul 29 '15 at 15:14
