Hello,  
I need to add some items to OTHER\_LDFLAGS in xCode.  
And after I add it in xcodeproj everything is fine. But after I launch the xcodeproj from Projucer everything dissapear.

I tried to open Projucer project in text editor and search anything like OTHER\_LDFLAGS, but found nothing.  
So I always need to remember to edit OTHER\_LDFLAGS by myself anytime I update my Projucer project.

For help great thanks in advance.  
Best Regards

I’ve also tried to add items to “custom xcode flags” field in Projucer, but then other default flags disappear, like -lAAXLibrary\_libcpp or -bundle

I think that the “Extra Linker Flags” field in the Xcode exporter settings should do what you want.

Hello Reuk,  
thanks for your answer but there isn’t anything like “Extra Linker Flags” in my version of Projucer (JUCE v6.0.7).

As I told before I’ve found field “Custom xCode Flags” and it has something to do with OTHER\_LDFLAGS because when I fill it then I get those values in xCode “Other Linker Flags”. But all other values which by default was before, now disappear.

Maybe I use some wrong command. I fill “Custom xCode Flags” field with exact that command:

```auto
OTHER_LDFLAGS = -Xlinker -headerpad -Xlinker 578

```

But there is some comment that I should use comma separator. So I also tried that:

```auto
OTHER_LDFLAGS = -Xlinker, -headerpad, -Xlinker, 578

```

But it also doesn’t work. So I have no idea how to use it.

It’s in the settings for the exporter:

Ahaaaa… Now it works. Great thanks.

But I also used command:  
`-Xlinker -headerpad -Xlinker 578`

because for whole command:  
`OTHER_LDFLAGS = -Xlinker -headerpad -Xlinker 578`

Keyword `OTHER_LDFLAGS` and `=` was treated as arguments.
