I'm trying to link id3lib statically to my XCode project. I've found some answers in other threads suggesting to add as linker flags the full path to the .a file. This works but produces a huge number of errors:
Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:

And so on. Again, googling suggests that the issue might be the fact the choice for standard library. Hence I tried to switch the C++ Standard Library field from "Compiler Default" to "libstdc++" (and I'm still getting the huge amount errors) or to "libc++" - and I'm getting way less errors, namely:

ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64

I have no idea of how to solve this. If I remove the library full path as linker flag, everything seems to work, but the library is linked dynamically (which doesn't work for me). I'm on Mac OS X 10.10; id3lib was installed via homebrew (manual installation tests led to similar results).
Does anybody have a clue?
Thanks, Daniele
