1.) As the first error says

ld: library not found for -lcv

It means your project needs a static library for 'cv' and either its is not there in your project or placed at some different location(if you are using it)

or

you are putting additional compiler flag in build settings(if you are not using the library in your code). following compiler flags in build settings.

-liconv -lcv -lcxcore

put cv library at right location.(so that it can be included in project).

2.) Second error may be because .app file is yet not created in derived data directory. Go at path shown in error, i.e.. and verify whether .app file exist or not.

search for 'Other linker flag' in build settings of your project. My mistake they are linker flag not compiler. Try by changing the DeriveData directory from XCode preferences. It will create build at new location. And see inside the .app file whether the ARecipeViewer file exists or not. – Ravin Aug 23 '12 at 08:43
-lpocketsphinx  -lsphinxbase I've added those two flags in my other linker flags still am getting the errors – user1184202 Aug 23 '12 at 08:47
these files -lcv and other are in frameworks. So look for what frameworks are added in your project. as log suggest -framework AudioToolbox -framework CFNetwork -liconv -lcv -lcxcore -framework – Ravin Aug 23 '12 at 08:49
Also make sure .pch file in your build settings should have same name as the file in your project. (for second error) – Ravin Aug 23 '12 at 08:59
