How to setup cmake to build cocos2d-x test application from command line, not from XCode?

cocos new cocos-test -p test -l cpp -d ~/Projects
cd ~/Projects/cocos-test
cmake .
make

Returns errors with Apple Foundation classes:

This problem exists in the last version 3.9, but not reproduced on 3.7.
Can this be fixed? Because it is very frustrating for newbies like me)

why do u use cmkae?

use

cocos compile -p ios

3

Because I want use CLion as IDE

4

And?))) if u using different ide and still need console command, use cocos compile

Best ide on mac is xcode so I would recommend to stick with it. Or what is main reason for using different one?)

CLion compile with cmake and it receive same errors. I use CLion because work not only on a Mac.
As it relates to the issue?

ok :slight_smile: as I don’t knot much about cmake :smile: usability.

I can advice you workaround ) create cmake config file which executes shell cocos compile command :smiley:

I can look at this as well. I am not familiar a lot with CLion, however.
