Re: iphone nmap compile error

Ya cydia has an on-phone gcc compiler but it doesn't come with
header files due to copyright reasons. I never really got this
working very far.

I had to compile some codecs a while ago for some installer/cydia
apps and I used a darwin/ARM cross-compiler from linux/x86. Definitely
follow saurik's instructions:

http://www.saurik.com/id/4

It's a PITA cause you have to get like 10 gigs of crap from apple
websites and I think you even need a developer login for some of the
files (maybe they've chilled out since). The instructions are fairly
straightforward but super long.. They will take you at least an
evening.

I cross compiled an old nmap using the telesphoreo patches. Looks
like they are at 4.76 now. You might want to talk to them if the
latest Nmap version doesn't compile with the cross compiler.

#iphone @ irc.saurik.com was pretty active back in the day... err
back when iphone was still cool. It's probably still the best place
to talk to people actually using toolchain (ie not xcode).

Good luck,

Doug

PS. I also got most of the way through a perl 5 cross compile but
hit some problem and gave up. Perl cross compiles require you to use the
on-board gcc but just for the configuration and then you can copy over
the config files to your cross compiler machine and compile miniperl
and copy this bin to the phone to generate some more config files
and then copy those to your cross compiler machine to generate
regular perl..... or something like that.

I have tried the i686 headers with no luck.
 The package manager Cydia provides most GCC tools with the toolchain (its
an easy installer that uses apt). I was hoping that having GCC ment the
usual headers in the correct spots.

as you can see from here most apps needed some work:

Configure as before, but this time don't include "/bits" at the end of
the header search path. That is,

CPPFLAGS="-I/var/include/c++/4.0.0
-I/var/include/c++/4.0.0/i686-apple-darwin9" ./configure

The preprocessor is already looking for a bits subdirectory, so by
including it, it's looking one level too deep.

It's pretty strange that you don't have an arm-apple-darwin-*
configuration directory. Are you supposed to be able to compile C++
applications natively on the iPhone? Does GCC come with the phone, or
did you have to install it separately? Maybe there is an installation
problem.
