How to compile specific files in objective-c++ and the rest of the project in objective-c

Question

I'm currently busy on a project where I need to use an external accessory to read Mifare 1k tags.

The accessory was provided with an SDK, written in (Objective ?)C++ and I followed the instructions provided to set XCode to "Compile sources as: Objective-C++" and added "-Obj-C++" in "Other linkers flags.

The SDK compiles fine then, but trouble is I am already using several libraries in the project (such as ASIHTTPRequest, JSONKit, ...) and I get compilation problems because of those new settings in those libraries. If I switch back to the previous settings, I get compilation problems in the reader's SDK

The question is: is there a way to compile only the class from the SDK as C++ and the rest of the project as objective-c ?

Edit: the SDK files consists only of .h (and a linked library)

thanks for your help, Mike

Answer 1

Try renaming the files where you are including the library headers to myClass.h for interface and myClass.mm for implementation files. This forces the files to be compiled as objective-c++.
