Help/Support error using Theos

[orella 116 9]

I'm getting this error after using "make package" command: make package requires you to have a layout/ directory in the project root, containing the basic package structure, 

or a control file in the project root describing the package.

make: *** [internal-package] Error 1

Just "make" it then put all the files in place then build it.

Make a new file with no extension and name it 'control'

 

Add this inside:

 

Package: PackageName
Name: foldername
Depends: mobilesubstrate
Version: 1.0.0
Architecture: iphoneos-arm
Description: An awesome MobileSubstrate tweak from iOSGods.com!
Maintainer: YourName
Author: YourName
Section: Tweaks

Send the control file to the root of your project folder. Next to your tweak.xm.

what is the PackageName?

 

It's based on what you chose when making the tweak. com.iosgods.xxxx something like that.

That's not really supposed to happen. Are you using a modified template?
