Fixed:

Added the path

/Users/knr10/Desktop/Bonic_Src/boinc_core_release_6_12_36/mac_build/cares/build/Debug-iphonesimulator

to Project>edit project settings>build>search paths>library search paths.

It did not like the -L so I removed that. I also had a space in the path
that I didn't notice before and that was causing problems.

Thanks so much for all of your help!
