Linux Ubuntu: Can't install libimobiledevice

[callen918]

When following the README, I receive the following error:

~/Desktop/libimobiledevice/libusbmuxd$ ./autogen.sh

configure: error: Package requirements (libplist-2.0 >= 2.2.0) were not met:

No package 'libplist-2.0' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables libplist_CFLAGS
and libplist_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

Did you compile and install libplist? Your distro's package is most likely outdated.

[bkaradzic]

This happens when libplist is built from source and installed.

I have similar trouble, just No package 'libplist' found , although libplist 2.0 is installed Tell please how fix it

[nikias]

The configure output tells you what to do. Either you set PKG_CONFIG_PATH to the location where libplist-2.0.pc is located, or you set libplist_CFLAGS so the compiler finds the includes, and libplist_LIBS so the linker finds the libs. So you said libplist-2.0 is installed; then you need to know where it is installed. If it was installed in /usr/local prefix, then you can run:

PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig ./autogen.sh

After run PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig ./autogen.sh I got error Package 'openssl', required by 'libimobiledevice-1.0', not found although I have it too and entered paths what advised in troubleshooting

[nikias]

You need to install libssl-dev.

[PavlikVasil]

You need to install libssl-dev.

openssl contained libssl

After trying brew link openssl I got

Warning: Refusing to link macOS provided/shadowed software: openssl@1.1 If you need to have openssl@1.1 first in your PATH run: echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/openssl@1.1/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc

For compilers to find openssl@1.1 you may need to set: export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/openssl@1.1/lib" export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/openssl@1.1/include"

For pkg-config to find openssl@1.1 you may need to set: export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/local/opt/openssl@1.1/lib/pkgconfig"
