asarnil Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Hi, I'm proud owner of an iphone and would want to write apps for it with my PC. And from what i read it should be possible to compile them with gcc, but not without the cocoa framework library. Does anyone know where to get the library files, and what else i would have to consider? Or did anyone write a how-to yet? Thank You!

Superhai Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 All the framework library files are on xcode package on OSX dvd. You can download it also from apple as well. I have never tried and never heard of anyone else on pc to compile anything for iphone, so I guess you are on virgin grounds here.

macprogrammer Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 I would consider this an impossible task based on the fact the libraries and frameworks needed are part of the Developer Tools. Gcc isn't everything. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/95700-iphone-developing-on-pc/#findComment-683105 Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.J. Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Yeah, your basically setting out to recreate a development environment. More to it than simply libraries and a compiler. If your really up for it though, I wish you the best of luck.

stroke Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 There's always the toolchain for Windows, which is the "unofficial" method of developing apps (and by far, harder). There's also an unreleased method of using it with 1.2, so if you've got 1.1.4 then the toolchain is the way to go. You can google for this, there are innumerable resources on it.
