Question
I want to add libboost_filesystem.dylib
to my Xcode target as a library to link to, but Boost is installed in /opt/local/lib
.
/opt
is hidden and not accessible from the open panel, so I cannot select the dylib:
How can I add the library to my target?
Solution
Cmd-Shift-G in any open dialog under OS X triggers "go to folder" (in which you can enter any path). Alternatively you can open /opt/local/lib
in the Terminal (which opens the folder in a Finder window), then drag the library into your project.
OTHER TIPS
You can first make the finder show all files. Maybe "defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool true" will be worked.
