I know C and C++. I am new to mac programming. I need examples of how to create libraries and call them using C++, etc. any sources, etc.?. Also, a simple app in cocoa would be useful.
Download Xcode.
Create a new project using a "Framework" or "Library" template to create a library.
Create a new project using the "Application / Cocoa application" template to create a Cocoa application.
Add the library to your Cocoa application, include the header files, and just call the library functions.
Also important to note is that Xcode prefers .framework type libraries. A good example of a library in this format is Simple DirectMedia Layer (SDL for short). Apple offers plenty of example code on their developer pages to help newbies get started: http://developer.apple.com/
I wouldn't say it preferred them. It works perfectly well with normal everyday dynamic libraries and static libraries.
Xcode does make adding .framework libraries particularly easy, though - hence the "preferred" comment. If my meaning was off, it wasn't intended.
The word "logger" has many meanings depending upon context so what's the context and your meaning?
