Truncated file filter error

Question

Although I am familiar with the development in Objective-C, I still consider myself a little n00b when it comes to interpreting errors. I am working on an application for work that others are working on. I believe that we can have different versions of Xcode, and one developer has a PC (others and I have a MacBook). I am using Xcode 4.5.1.

Problem

I get the following Apple Mach-O Linker error:

ld: truncated fat file. Slice from 68 to 2783300 - end of file with a length of 135 for the i386 architecture clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see the call)

The complete error is as follows (paths renamed):

I did not find documentation about this error. What is the problem? How do I resolve a mistake?

Answer 1

I read this answer somewhere,

Symbolic links to files and folders (in your case, some kind of framework) turn into bold files when they move from MAC-OS / X to Windows. Therefore, whenever we create a copy-paste / checkout project framework from your MAC code on Windows or vice versa, it changes, files change in terms of symbolic links.

So what you can do is just check your project files and replace only one framework (note that the frame you are going to replace needs to be downloaded or copied somewhere from the MAC, NOT WINDOWS).

Hope this helps someone!
