How-To copy SDK headers to iPhone and compile SDK applications in iPhone

Pre-requisites:
(1) jailbreak iPhone with pwned firmware 2.0.x
(2) Install the following packages in Cydia Installer

  • GNU C Compiler

  • iPhone 2.0 Toolchain

  • Make

  • Link Indentity Editor

  • wget (... in order to download the following sample in iPhone)

  • zip (... in order to unzip the following sample in iPhone)



Here is the procedure on how to copy the iPhone SDK headers from your mac to iPhone GCC to have a SDK development environment in iPhone

I have installed the sdk header files to /var/sdk of iPhone

If you use Linux / Microsoft Windows, see this on how to get the header files from the SDK
http://www.theiphonewiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=Toolchain_2.0

Use this shell script in Mac Terminal to copy the installed SDK header files to iPhone directly
and you have to change IPHONEIP for your actual iPhone IP address

copySDKHeaders.sh : Select all

#!/bin/sh
IPHONEIP=10.0.2.2
sdkroot=/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS2.0.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks
sdkframeworks[1]=$sdkroot/AddressBook.framework/Headers/*
sdkframeworks[2]=$sdkroot/AddressBookUI.framework/Headers/*
sdkframeworks[3]=$sdkroot/AudioToolbox.framework/Headers/*
sdkframeworks[4]=$sdkroot/AudioUnit.framework/Headers/*
sdkframeworks[5]=$sdkroot/CFNetwork.framework/Headers/*
sdkframeworks[6]=$sdkroot/CoreAudio.framework/Headers/*
sdkframeworks[7]=$sdkroot/CoreFoundation.framework/Headers/*
sdkframeworks[8]=$sdkroot/CoreGraphics.framework/Headers/*
sdkframeworks[9]=$sdkroot/CoreLocation.framework/Headers/*
sdkframeworks[10]=$sdkroot/Foundation.framework/Headers/*
sdkframeworks[11]=$sdkroot/MediaPlayer.framework/Headers/*
sdkframeworks[12]=$sdkroot/OpenAL.framework/Headers/*
sdkframeworks[13]=$sdkroot/OpenGLES.framework/Headers/*
sdkframeworks[14]=$sdkroot/QuartzCore.framework/Headers/*
sdkframeworks[15]=$sdkroot/Security.framework/Headers/*
sdkframeworks[16]=$sdkroot/SystemConfiguration.framework/Headers/*
sdkframeworks[17]=$sdkroot/UIKit.framework/Headers/*
sdkframeworks[18]=/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneSimulator2.0.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/IOKit.framework/Headers/*
iphonesdkroot=/var/sdk
iphoneframeworksroot=$iphonesdkroot/include
iphoneframeworks[1]=$iphoneframeworksroot/AddressBook/
iphoneframeworks[2]=$iphoneframeworksroot/AddressBookUI/
iphoneframeworks[3]=$iphoneframeworksroot/AudioToolbox/
iphoneframeworks[4]=$iphoneframeworksroot/AudioUnit/
iphoneframeworks[5]=$iphoneframeworksroot/CFNetwork/
iphoneframeworks[6]=$iphoneframeworksroot/CoreAudio/
iphoneframeworks[7]=$iphoneframeworksroot/CoreFoundation/
iphoneframeworks[8]=$iphoneframeworksroot/CoreGraphics/
iphoneframeworks[9]=$iphoneframeworksroot/CoreLocation/
iphoneframeworks[10]=$iphoneframeworksroot/Foundation/
iphoneframeworks[11]=$iphoneframeworksroot/MediaPlayer/
iphoneframeworks[12]=$iphoneframeworksroot/OpenAL/
iphoneframeworks[13]=$iphoneframeworksroot/OpenGLES/
iphoneframeworks[14]=$iphoneframeworksroot/QuartzCore/
iphoneframeworks[15]=$iphoneframeworksroot/Security/
iphoneframeworks[16]=$iphoneframeworksroot/SystemConfiguration/
iphoneframeworks[17]=$iphoneframeworksroot/UIKit/
iphoneframeworks[18]=$iphoneframeworksroot/IOKit/

ssh root@$IPHONEIP "mkdir -p $iphoneframeworksroot"
scp -r /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS2.0.sdk/usr/include root@$IPHONEIP:$iphonesdkroot
scp -r /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS2.0.sdk/usr/lib root@$IPHONEIP:$iphonesdkroot

for index in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18
do
echo "copying ${sdkframeworks[index]} to ${iphoneframeworks[index]}"
ssh root@$IPHONEIP "mkdir -p ${iphoneframeworks[index]}"
scp -r ${sdkframeworks[index]} root@$IPHONEIP:${iphoneframeworks[index]}
done


In order to avoid typing the password using ssh, you can install the ssh public key of your Mac to your iPhone using the following method

(a) keygen in Mac terminal and type (if you haven't generated it before)
Select all

ssh-keygen -t rsa


(b) create .ssh directory in iPhone (assume ip address of iPhone is 10.0.2.2)
Select all

ssh root@10.0.2.2 'mkdir -p .ssh'

then enter iPhone root password (alpine)

(c) copy mac public key to iPhone, and in Mac Terminal type
Select all
cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub | ssh root@10.0.2.2 'cat >> .ssh/authorized_keys'

then enter iPhone root password (alpine)

(d) Edit the file /etc/ssh/sshd_config in iPhone

change these
Select all

#StrictModes yes
#PubkeyAuthentication yes
#AuthorizedKeysFile .ssh/authorized_keys


to

Select all

StrictModes no
PubkeyAuthentication yes
AuthorizedKeysFile .ssh/authorized_keys


(e)reboot iPhone

I have successfully compiled a modified SDK sample app UICategory (non-Interface Builder verison)

Here is the project folder to test your installation.

(i) copy it (using wget) and unzip it in iPhone
Select all

wget http://www.iphone.org.hk/attach/39773-UICatalog.zip
unzip 39773-UICatalog.zip


(ii) then run
Select all

cd UICatalog
make
make install


to build and install the project in iPhone

I've tried many recipes to get going with the iPhone headers. The is the only one that worked for me (after modifying the example for 2.2). Thank you so much!

Would appreciate help with setting up toolchain for 2.2 and modifying the example. How did you achieve that?
