But this guide involved a lot of downloading and patching, so I put all the downloading in one zipped tar file. All you have to do is download it and run the build script in your Linux
I used the Asus eeepc Linux as an example, but others Linux variant / cygwin should be very similar.
Asus eeepc comes with xandros Debian Linux but does not have development tools. This part(A) shows you how to setup the development tools first. Other Linux variant does have development tools and you might want to skip this part and continue on Part B
(A) Install the development tools in eeepc
(1) Launch Terminal (Ctrl-Alt-T) in eeepc
(2) edit the file/etc/apt/sources.list
sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.listand add this line to the end of the file "sources.list"
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ stable main(3) Run these commands in Terminal to install building tools
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install build-essential bison flex
(B) Download the file to your Linux
UpgradeToolChain2.tgz
The package is very large (about 200M)
You should first goto this websever
http://www.iphonefix.de/
and click the DOWNLOADS menu
and username password is generated for every visitor on the fly when you click on the ftp sever link
Inside the ftp server goto the folder
iPhoneToolchain VMWare Image / V3
and download the file UpgradeToolChain2.tgz
MD5 (UpgradeToolChain2.tgz) = b373c0e600d45b1019e2894614b5979b
Size (UpgradeToolChain2.tgz) = 202278454
and extract to /usr
cd /usr
sudo tar -xzvf ~/UpgradeToolChain2.tgz
(C) login in as superuser and build the Darwin CC tools and llvm-gcc in Linux
su
cd /usr/toolchain2
./build_20.sh
wait for 10+ minutes to complete the building of tools and gcc
If you extract the tgz to different folder and want to build it in some other folder, please modify the environment variable toolchain in build_20.sh
(D) Test build your project in Linux
The include files have the iPhone SDK headers so you can test it using some available open source project (without Interface Builder) that using SDK 2.0 headers
If you want ti upgrade to SDK 2.1/2.2 headers just copy and replace the 2.0 headers.
For example, download this WinterBoard App Source code from the developer and compile it in Linux
wget http://svn.saurik.com/repos/menes/trunk/winterboard/Application.mm
/usr/toolchain2/pre/bin/arm-apple-darwin9-g++ -g0 -O2 -Wall -Werror -o WinterBoard Application.mm \
-framework UIKit -framework Foundation -framework CoreFoundation -lobjc -framework CoreGraphics
If you want to deploy the app to iPhone, you have to codesign it (using ldid in iPhone) and provide the additional required project file in the .app folder e.g. (Info.plist, Icon.png etc)
Enjoy compiling and building iPhone App
Moreover, I have modified a previous VMWare image based on Debian Linux and build the llvm-gcc for iPhone and the toolchain and SDK20 headers there. If you have VMWare workstation or player / VMWare Fusion (Mac OS X), you can use it to build 2.0 iPhone app using ssh or samba mount access. The VMWare image is very large (about 1.2G compressed).
You should first goto this websever
http://www.iphonefix.de/
and click the download menu
and username password is generated for every visitor on the fly when you click on the ftp sever link
Inside the ftp server goto the folder
iPhoneToolchain VMWare Image / V3
and download the file
iPhoneToolchian_SDK20.rar
MD5 (iPhoneToolchain_SDK20.rar) = 29888ad8a73cf0a9674152c64961c02a
Size (iPhoneToolchain_SDK20.rar) = 1304054096
unrar the file and then use VMWare workstation or VMWare Fusion to open it
login: root
password: toolchain
The instructions are in the README.txt There are 3 sample projects inside the VMWare image
new!!
Install ldid in Linux, so that you can fake codesign it
cd ~/Projects
wget http://svn.telesphoreo.org/trunk/data/ldid/ldid-1.0.476.tgz
tar -zxf ldid-1.0.476.tgz
cd ldid-1.0.476
g++ -I . -o util/ldid{,.cpp} -x c util/{lookup2,sha1}.c
sudo cp -a util/ldid /usr/bin
Updates : The source of of ldid is moved to here
wget http://www.telesphoreo.org/export/477/trunk/data/ldid/ldid-1.0.476.tgz
or updated one here
wget http://svn.telesphoreo.org/trunk/data/ldid/ldid-1.0.610.tgz
Updates : If you compiled it in cgywin, you need to add (uint32_t) in the source code ldid.cpp that has ambiguous overload call error message like this
error: call of overloaded 'Swap(int)' is ambiguous
If you need to codesign the iPhone binary in Linux add this (as one line) to your build script
export CODESIGN_ALLOCATE=/usr/toolchain2/pre/bin/arm-apple-darwin9-codesign_allocate; ldid -S $(PROJECTNAME)
