Open Toolchain - library not found for -lobjc

[Brian Cross]

I just built the toolchain on my Debian system as per this guide:

http://code.google.com/p/iphonedevonlinux/wiki/Installation

I made sure that all the required packages were installed on my system, and the script built the toolchain flawlessly - zero errors.

I tried to build the HelloToolchain test app:

brian@vader:~/iphone/toolchain/apps/HelloToolchain$ make deploy
arm-apple-darwin9-gcc -c src/HelloToolchain.m -o HelloToolchain.o
arm-apple-darwin9-gcc -lobjc -bind_at_load -framework Foundation -framework CoreFoundation -framework UIKit -w -o HelloToolchain HelloToolchain.o
ld: library not found for -lobjc
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [HelloToolchain] Error 1


It looks like the linker can't find the objective c library. I do have the gobjc package installed on my system. Any ideas?

Having the same problem, same circumstances. Did you ever get this sorted?

I'm compiling for 3.1.2/2G on Ubuntu 9.10. My research so far indicates that I need the arm/iphone lobjc and what I have is the intel/linux lobjc. I haven't figured out where to get the correct libraries.

Yes I did get it working. You have to copy the include and frameworks dirs to the toolchain folder. I posted about it on the script google code page.

Sorry, which folders? path/toolchain/toolchain/sys/usr/include and System/Library/Frameworks? I'm having a heck of a time finding the correct google code page with the search.

Here's the page:

Installation - iphonedevonlinux - Installation of the toolchain - Project Hosting on Google Code

sorry, it was the usr/lib folder and frameworks. Scroll down to the comment I posted on dec 17. There's a link to an explanation of the problem as well. Sorry for the crappy replies - I'm posting from my phone so it's hard to type.

Thanks very much for the link and explanation!

No worries. Hopefully it helps you out.
