The objective of the day: Compiler libimobiledevice for macosx.
The objective is to be able to deploy the apps generated with jembe directly to your iphone or ipad without using itunes.
I will describe the whole compilation process. If you are only interested on the binary, go directly to the download section
I already write some post here to explain how to create the cross compiler and use it. I also write about the issues on compiling the dependencies. If you need to redo all the work, you can read these posts:
Start downloading the sources here.
Then, while trying to compile libimobiledevice, there are some more issues. So I go for the simplest solution:
- Do not compile python binding (–without-cython)
- configure complains on largefile ?! (–disable-largfile)
- An issue with malloc and realloc! (ac_cv_func_realloc_0_nonnull and ac_cv_func_malloc_0_null)
- A linker issue with inline function debug_buffer (You will have to remove the inline directive)

Great… We already have some very interesting tools like idevicesyslog. But we also need the installer.
So download the ideviceinstaller sources and just compile. I don’t had any issue here.
You can test the binary here. It works fine, but you have to define the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH to use it, because all links are absolute by default. You can view the problem using otool utility:

So you will have to use install_name_tool to update the links. For exemple:

$ /opt/compiler/mac/bin/i386-apple-darwin-install_name_tool -change /home/benoit/workspace/imobiledevice/binary/mac/lib/libimobiledevice.3.dylib @executable_path/../lib/libimobiledevice.3.dylib bin/ideviceinstaller |
At the end, you should have:

That all. Download the imobiledevice binary!
