TuT Theos Errors, Their Meanings and Solutions

[45GTR 1.5k 8.1.2]

Makefile:N: theos/makefiles/common.mk: Not a directory
Makefile:N: /tweak.mk: No such file or directory

You need to add a theos sumlink in both the tweak folder and preferences folder (if you have one). A sumlink can be created using ifile by selecting a new symbolic link, naming it 'theos' and linking it to /private/var/theos/

".../theos/makefiles/targets/PPP/iphone.mk:21: *** first argument to 'word' function must be greater than 0. stop."

You haven't downloaded the required SDKS. They can be found at http://iphone.howett.net/sdks/ once downloaded, create a new folder in the theos directory named 'sdks' and unzip the sdk you downloaded. THIS MUST BE DONE ON iFILE.

ld: file too small (length=LLL) file. '.../theos/sdks/iPhoneOSX.Y.sdk/usr/ZZZ' for architecture armAAA.

You have a faulty sdk, redownload and redo the steps above. This error normally occurs when you unzipped the sdk on PC

FFF:LLL:10: fatal error: 'substrate.h' file not found
#include <substrate.h>
         ^
1 error generated.

You are missing valuable iOS headers. They can be found at https://github.com/rpetrich/iphoneheaders once downloaded, extract them to the 'include' folder inside the 'theos' directory.

Illegal instruction: 4

Occured because you have an older version of theos. Follow the tutorial here to reinstall: http://iosgods.com/topic/656-tutorialvideo-how-to-set-up-theos-on-your-idevice-ios7ios8/

theos/makefiles/common.mk:103: *** You did not specify a target, and the "" platform does not define a default target. Stop.

Your iOS device is 64 bit and theos isn't. To fix, go to theos/makefiles/platform/Darwin-arm.mk.  Rename it to Darwin-arm64.mk

then go to /theos/makefiles/target/Darwin-arm. Rename it to Darwin-arm64.

theos/makefiles/common.mk:115: *** The "iphone" target is not supported on the "" platform. Stop.

Your iOS device is 64 bit and theos isn't. To fix, go to theos/makefiles/platform/Darwin-arm.mk.  Rename it to Darwin-arm64.mk

then go to /theos/makefiles/target/Darwin-arm. Rename it to Darwin-arm64.

 

If the preference bundle isn't loading for your project, add the following line to the top of your makefile:

ARCHS = arm64 armv7
