Hi!

I am trying something rather weird - trying to compile the linux client on the iphone.

Now I have a g++ compiler on the phone - and this is just a kinda spare time project. I have svn tortoise and have tried getting the client folder from the svn however it has no configure or seemingly makefile.

Can somebody please either tar me up the lastest build with configure and make files, or point me in their direction at least!

Thanks so much

Andy

Run _autosetup to create the configure script

Then run `./configure --disable-server` to create the Makefiles

You'll need to build the wxWidgets library first if you want the Manager, but not if you just want the CLI client. You probably also need --with-apple-opengl-framework for the GUI.

Once you have the configure script then `configure --help` can show you other things you can configure.

Hope it works. Good luck.

Thats the thing - there is no autosetup file - typing _autosetup at the command line does nothing, and there is no name of file with _autosetup, or autosetup in my source list?!

That script is in SVN, so try updating and make sure you are getting that file.

You may not want to use the current trunk, since it's being worked on.
Pick a stable recent client branch. See the SourceCode page in the developers wiki.

I am getting this error :

-sh: ./_autosetup: /bin/sh^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

It's a short script, so you could try giving the commands in it by hand.

Perhaps sh (the Bourne shell) is somewhere else on iPhone? It could be called bash not sh. If you have bash, you couud say

bash _autosetup

Hi,

Maybe, /bin/sh is a softlink to /bin/bash on your system (like it is on SuSE 9.3). The script seems not to work with bash ....


W.

What _autosetup does is run the GNU build tools to create the configure script, which in turn builds the Makefiles. Short and sweet, the script just sets things up to run

aclocal -I m4 && autoheader && automake && autoconf

So you also need all those GNU build tools.

An alternative approach might be to build on a Mac which has all this, and a compiler which can cross-compile for the ARM processor in the iPhone. Then you build on the Mac, but build executables that run on the other device. I know nothing about the current state of such things, except that this is how XCode does it for building iPhone apps.

That means you copied the _autosetup file from a Windows machine, which introduced Windows newlines.

Also, see this thread; where I show I successfully compiled the client for iPhoneOS 1.x :) However, I didn't try running it, but I'm almost sure it'd have had problems with network access.
