Hello ...

I am looking to build an Xcode project using the Swiss Ephemeris library to calculate planetary positions. I've never tried using a third-party library like this --which involves just a dozen or so ".c" files and a handful of ".h"s-- and I don't know how to make Xcode recognize the function definitions and such. (The ".c" files have no ".h" files to #import.)

Given that it's nearly 3 a.m. here, I'm guessing that this is either a lot easier, or a lot harder, than I'm making it out to be ... I just don't know which.

Any pointers greatly appreciated ...

I haven't used the Swiss Ephemeris library, but to use third party libraries in Xcode, you add the library to your project and include the library's main header file in your source code files. If you're using Xcode 3.1, I have instructions on adding libraries to your project. If you're using an older version of Xcode, you'll have to add the library to your project by choosing Project > Add to Project.

If you're getting linker errors when you try to build your project, read this article on linking libraries in Xcode. One thing to note in the article if you're using Xcode 3 is there is no Edit button to click to add a search path. Double-click the build setting to add the search path.
