Xcode ld: library not found for -LFSCalendar

Question

I have an existing Xcode iOS project that uses FSCalendar library. I have now opened this project on another mac computer with Xcode installed.

When I build my project, I get the following error:

ld: library not found for -LFSCalendar

In the Project --> Build Settings --> Search Paths I see:

Library Search Paths:

"build/Debug-iphoneos/FSCalendar"
"build/Release-iphoneos/FSCalendar"

Question 1 What do I have to do to get this to build? Do I have to copy the FSCalendar folder to the Debug and Release locations above etc?

Question 2 Should there be an actual library file somewhere called FSCalendar in my project directory? there is a folder called FSCalendar which contains all the FSCalendar source code files. Do these files get built into a library output file??

And how do you integrate/install FSCalendar to your project? — Glenn Posadas, Oct 15 '18 at 12:27
Currently there is a folder called FSCalendar in my project which has all the fscalendar code files and my code just uses e.g. #import fscalendar.h — Harry Boy, Oct 15 '18 at 12:37
Under my main project folder there is a folder called Pods which contains an FSCalendar folder. — Harry Boy, Oct 15 '18 at 12:44
Please use this command 'pod install' in the terminal. Install the pods and make sure you are running project.workspace not project file. — Waqas, Oct 23 '18 at 12:01

If you're talking about this FSCalendar - it will depend on how you've integrated with your project. The projects readme describes methods using Carthage, CocoaPods and manual integration.

Carthage

From the doc's

Running a project that uses Carthage

After you’ve finished the above steps and pushed your changes, other users of the project only need to fetch the repository and run carthage bootstrap to get started with the frameworks you’ve added.

CocoaPods

In your projects root directory where your Podfile exists, it Terminal.app you should be able to run:

$ pod install

Manual Integration

If you've used the manual options then you probably already have a target for check the Build Phases tab of your projects main target. Then check the list of files under the head Compile Sources (you may need to click on the disclosure triangle to unfold the list).

I believe you manually added FSCalendar in project,

Solution 1:

While adding to project you forget to tick Copy item if needed. Please add FSCaldendar folder again and tick Copy item if needed.

In case you added with cocoa pods, then try solution 2.

Solution 2:

If you added with cocoa pods, Please go to terminal -> go to project directory -> and run command -> pod install
