I used Xojo on my Imac.
Now i have a Library with the name: libad4.dylib that should by integrated in my Xojo program. For using a USB interface as A/D converter.
How can I integrated this Library?

Hi Hans,

On macOS, you can add a Compilation step in the IDE for copying the .dylib file inside the MacOS folder.

Right-click on macOS in the Build Settings section. You’ll see “Add to Build Settings”/“Build Step”/“Copy Files”
