RestKit build error: ../NSManagedObject+ActiveRecord.h:19: error: cannot find interface declaration for 'NSManagedObject'

Question

I've linked RestKit in an xcode 4 project, as described on the GitHub install page and am getting this error while trying to build. Does anyone know what is going on? I've asked on the RestKit IRC channel as well, and am waiting for an answer.

The error details are:

/Users/shyam/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/APXClient-bkpszicuinqyocawpsueiuiysrsk/Build/Products/Debug-iphoneos/include/RestKit/CoreData/NSManagedObject+ActiveRecord.h:19: error: cannot find interface declaration for 'NSManagedObject'

The install steps I followed are here: https://github.com/RestKit/RestKit/blob/master/README.md

After talking with blake on the RestKit IRC channel, this appeared to be an issue with recursive header include directories. In my case, I had `$(BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR)/**` (recursive) in my header include paths. Making that non-recursive solved the problem. — Shyam Habarakada, Aug 23 '11 at 17:26
I also ran into this issue and resolved it by making the Header Search Path non-recursive. You should answer your own question :-) — penfold, Nov 08 '11 at 11:04
done. thanks for confirming that recursive includes was actually the issue. — Shyam Habarakada, Mar 07 '12 at 23:36

So, yes the solution is to make the header includes non-recursive. See details above

Can't find a build setting for setting header search paths to recursive/non-recursive. Please can you point me in the right direction. – Undistraction Apr 26 '12 at 10:43
A recursive pattern would look like `$(BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR)/**` (note the `/**` suffix). – penfold Jun 09 '12 at 11:47
right. you replace /** with a path to a specific directory. For example, `$(BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR)/some/lib` – Shyam Habarakada Jun 11 '12 at 05:40
