Ok guys, I got tired googling all over internet to get same output on this one -> means nothing, everyone just complains it doesn't work, none analyzes. Thus I had checked the source code of Fresh - food.c - line 43 - as some add function trying to lookp and initialize needed libraries - and here it is failing. So I scanned my /usr/lib and really some of referenced libraries were not found (also libraries referenced by other libraries), here is status update on my 4.2.1 iPad iOS:
1) can anyone who is responsible for maintaing this git source add better error handling -> i.e. instead of dummy abort message display which library failed to load ...
2) In the latest source code there is following sequence:
add("/usr/lib/libcrypto.dylib"); ----> don't have it
add("/usr/lib/libssl.dylib"); ----> don't have it
add("/usr/lib/libm.dylib"); ----> don't have it
add("/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib"); ----> don't have it
add("./libcutils.dylib");
add("./libutils.dylib");
add("./libgccstuff.dylib");
add("./libicudata.42.1.dylib");
add("./libicui18n.42.1.dylib");
add("./libicuio.42.1.dylib");
add("./libicule.42.1.dylib");
add("./libiculx.42.1.dylib");
add("./libicutu.42.1.dylib");
add("./libicuuc.42.1.dylib");
int fd = open("libflashplayer.so", O_RDONLY);So as you see already 1st 4 libs were missing + anaylyzing the other libraries I also found other once also missing -> mainly libcrypt ang libgcc.
Then I remind myself when trying to add GNU cc comipler from cydia I was facing issue that libgcc was missing -> whatever are the reasons.
So reason for this problem is clear, question is if we can solve it or not, I started playing around and did:
A) I got libgcc and installed it from following repo (hope I am not mistaken as I tried too many repos recently :) - http://theworm.altervista.org/cydia/ - btw reffered from this thread http://modmyi.com/forums/iphone-ipod-touch-sdk-development-discussion/655111-compiling-iphone-3-0-a.html - other approaches are mentioned -> but read whole thread 1st !!!)
B) after that I was able to install bigboss GNU cc (and othe GNU libs) from Cydia ... I run gcc -> runs ok ... didn't tried yet to compile and run anything ... I looked into /usr/lib and saw lot of missing libs is now there -> sounds promissing ...
C) got also header files refered from: http://antirez.com/page/iphone-gcc-guide.html - so I can start playing around whether the gcc will even work installed this way
Next plan:
- test whether GCC can compile hello world app and run it
- test whether the header files allow me to compile Frash-0.02 on the ipad directly ...if not -> then I'll try Xcode on Max OS ..
- based on source code analysis of food.c check every referred library (and the libraries referred by the lib itself). If I could compile Frahs -> i'll try to add better error message stating which lib failed to load ...
I am busy man so if you can try to play around and post results here I'll appreciate it .. and dozens of other "iPad flash hunters" I guess ...
Cheers
