V7 BETA and iphone build error

[codegit]

Hi

Has anybody been able to build an iphone project on a Apple MAC? I keep getting this error during the build process "libPROGRAM.a file too small" ??

Any ideas how to solve?

Thanks

I think you need to run libtool -arch_only armv6 libPROGRAM.a -o libNEWPROGRAM.a

[codegit]

Thanks I will try this.

[MrTAToad]

I tried that, but unfortunately I get :

libtool: no library created (no object files in input file)

[codegit]

Hi

I got the same message.

Hi.

First of all, the apps compiled with glbasic are suitable for Iphone simulator or only for real iphone ?.

When I compiled for Iphone device, i get this error ->  Code Sign Error: The identity iphone developer dosn't match any valid certificate/private key pari in the default keychain

When I compiled for Iphone simulater, i get this errors:
---------------------------------------
collect2: ide returned 1 exit status
symbol(s) not found
_main in main.o
(X) "_GLB_iPhone_call_main", referenced form:
_main in main.o
(X) "_iPhoneDeviceID", referenced from:

---------------------------------------

Any idea?

I have the SDK for free but not purchase the license 100$ by now. Is neccesary ?

Thanks.

The compiler in windows say this:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*** Configuration: IPHONE ***
precompiling:
GPC - GLBasic Precompiler V.7.003 - 3D, NET
Wordcount:3 commands
compiling:
arch:
/cygdrive/q/Compiler/platform/iPhone/bin/arm-apple-darwin9-ar: can't find or exec: /usr/local/bin/arm-apple-darwin9-ranlib (No such file or directory)
/cygdrive/q/Compiler/platform/iPhone/bin/arm-apple-darwin9-ar: internal ranlib command failed
Creating .app for Hello_world

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Is needed any library to windows?

[Kitty Hello]

Oh dear

OK, first, the iPhone compiler yield's some warning when creating a library:

Code: (glbasic) [Select]

/cygdrive/q/Compiler/platform/iPhone/bin/arm-apple-darwin9-ar: can't find or exec: /usr/local/bin/arm-apple-darwin9-ranlib (No such file or directory)
/cygdrive/q/Compiler/platform/iPhone/bin/arm-apple-darwin9-ar: internal ranlib command failed
Ignore that.

Next, the iPhone is release only, not for the simulator.
Third, the next update will solve the problem with the libtool.

You don't need the full SDK for compilation on iPhone, the demo is enough.

Hi Javiero....

I install SDK Beta 7.0 and compiling for Iphone shows this message:

Maibe I need a Macintosh... 

(Tried for compile on Vista).

[MrTAToad]

Thats okay - its just a message stating that you now need to compile the rest on a Mac...

[trucidare]

OK here a quick How To.

1.

Compile you favorit Game on Windows with GLBasic. Ignore the Warnings about ranlib and ar.

2.

Copy the XCode Folder to your mac (required because apple license)

Temporary: Open Terminal go to the XCode Folder copied from Windows machine. Then into Lib Folder.
                 type: libtool -arch_only armv6 libPROGRAM.a -o libNEWPROGRAM.a
                 rm -rf libPROGRAM.a
                 mv libNEWPROGRAM.a libPROGRAM.a

3.

Open XCode Project and Set the Application Details for you Game like:

Name: Muh
Company: com.blah.Muh (or something similiar like your Developer Certificate is created for)

4.

Set SDK to 3.0 or 3.1 Device Debug and compile. It will automatically start on the provisioning Phone or Pod if connected.


Please let me know if something unknown or errors happened.

@javiero

To compile to Real iPhone hardware you need to have an iPhone Developer Account. There you can create a Certificate for each of your programs. Install it on your host machine and you will able to compile your program for real Hardware.

Thanks traducidare, my problem is I don't have a certificate.

I need purchase the 100$ developer account for certificate or only with the sdk demo is needed?

[trucidare]

Please visit the Chat tomorrow i will explain something to you

[MrTAToad]

Hopefully I'll be there too. 

Wonder if the toollib error I got was because I hadn't chdir into the correct directly and just passed the full path as the parameters...  Will have to look into that later...
