[!] sh: lipo: command not found

[tghosth]

Issue

Running a module, e.g. metadata, doesn't work. It gives an error related to lipo. Do you have any idea why that would not be on the device or where to get it from?

[tghosth]

Nevermind, looks like you need to add Darwin CC Tools to the dependencies list...

[tghosth]

oh wow, ok I didn't know device/dependency_installer existed. Currently investigating!

[floyd-fuh]

Please updated the wiki documentation and tell people that: a) they will need to run the module device/dependency_installer Also update the error messages of that module, as it currently says:

But there is no such thing as a dependencies mentioned in the README

And even after running the dependency installer, it said it will install [] and then everything is still missing.

So I had to install lipo and other tools from Cydia directly. I needed the following packages:

• Darwin CC Tools
• IPA Installer
• Clutch 2.0
• Open

The module binary/reversing/strings seems to be using awk, which didn't install with Core Utils strangely... and also ps is missing etc. But now at least most modules run fine.

Then I also got a "[!] IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '~/.needle/tmp/plist'", so I had to "mkdir ~/.needle/tmp"

[ThePirateWhoSmellsOfSunflowers]

Hi! Don't know if it helps but you can find awk with Cydia by installing Gawk.

:sunflower:

[humanUnit]

@floyd-fuh hi, have you install lipo from Cydia? I believe there is way to install it on iPhone 5, but it is a arm32 device. Because I don't see lipo in Cydia.

[floyd-fuh]

@humanUnit sorry, this was too long ago and that device is long gone, I simply can't remember :-/

[ThePirateWhoSmellsOfSunflowers]

@humanUnit on my iPad 4 (32 bit) jailbroken with h3lix, I manage to install lipo by installing the package "Darwin CC Tools" from coolstar repo in Cydia.

[humanUnit]

@ThePirateWhoSmellsOfSunflowers thanks!

I was having similar issues to @floyd-fuh with:

it said it will install [] and then everything is still missing.

But it turns out I just needed to set ALL (or any specific dependency I needed) to true. Not sure if it is the same problem, but thought it worth mentioning!
