Build Shark Framework for iOS & OSX

Using Xcode5 (armv7, armv7s, arm64, i386, x86_64)

What is Shark?

SHARK provides libraries for the design of adaptive systems, including methods for linear and nonlinear optimization (e.g., evolutionary and gradient-based algorithms), kernel-based algorithms and neural networks, and other machine learning techniques.

This script is designed to build version 2.3.4 of the library, not the latest 3.0 version.

Build Framework

With this script building the framework is as easy as

    # download (-d) and build for ios
    ./build.sh -d ios

    # build for osx
    ./build.sh osx

The framework will be created for each target platform and located in framework folder.

iOS framework includes support for iOS Simulator as well.

Use Framework

You might just drag & drop the framework into your Xcode project and you're good to go. However, I personally prefere more managed ways, that is CocoaPods.

So, there's Shark-SDK pod which you can use both for your iOS and OS X projects.

# Podfile
platform :ios, :deployment_target => '6.0'
pod 'Shark-SDK'

target :'shark2-osx-demo', :exclusive => true do
	platform :osx, :deployment_target => '10.7'
	pod 'Shark-SDK'
end

Make sure you close Xcode workspace while running pod install or pod update, otherwise the workspace build settings will be messed up.
