Help/Support Strange Errors (On-Device Theos Install)

_Bool · November 7, 2015

I've got everything setup in Theos including the SDK directory, build tools, and required files, but when I run

make package messages=yes

I get the following errors:

I don't know if it makes a difference, but I'm using the CoolStar fork of Theos that's supposedly compatible for ARM64 devices.

Is anyone able to shine some light on how to fix this?

I'm guessing you're on iOS 9?

You would be correct.

I have (almost) the same setup on my Mac, but I'm on a road trip and being able to SSH into my phone from my Linux machine would be incredible!

The killed: 9 error is usually fixed by signing the executables.

I've been instructed to use ldid for signing executables ever since the release of iOS 9, and every time it has returned an error so I thought there was no way it would change, but to my surprise ldid worked on all of those binaries. Now when I run

make package messages=yes

I get:

make[1]: *** [internal-library-all_] Error 2

Which is a compiler error to my understanding.

The issue is this:

ld: library not found for -lobjc

~~I saw, but I don't know what this means, nor can I find any relevant information through Google.~~

I totally forgot that Google omits search results containing text after a `-` character which resulted in everything except what I wanted (how ironic). I've found that it has something to do with a missing library (libobjc.A.dylib hopefully) so if I find a copy of that and copy it to /usr/lib I should be good...right?

I got a copy of libobjc.A.dylib in my /usr/lib directory and the error has remained the same, I've run out of ideas.

Do you need this Framework?
