Problems building for ios

Hi, I'm new on the forum. I'm actually also newbie on mac as a developer platform. So be kind .
I'm trying to build xbmc for ios using the instruction in README.ios.
I have downloaded XCODE from the app store. However I didn't find the old version 3.2.5, so I installed 4.3.2 instead. Will this work or do I need to get the 3.2.5 version?

My actual problem is that I fail to execute the command ./bootstrap in the section "3.1 Install Cross libs and runtime environment".
I get the following message:


Is there additional tools, like autoconf and make, that I need to install or should they be available anyway, as part of xbmc or xcode?

Btw, I pulled down the latest code from git yesterday.

The nightlies start again in a few days so you might as well just wait if you are just building straight from mainline. Also as it is stated on GitHub in /docs/readmeIOS

"Install latest Xcode. You can download it from Apple's site after registration at
(http://developer.apple.com/tools/download).
The preferred version is Xcode 3.2.5 and iOS SDK 4.2."

xcode4 is not supported with the current build system right now. use xcode3.

According the the Apple developer web site

Quote:Xcode 3 is incompatible with Mac OS X 10.7 Lion

Since I am using Lion, I cannot perform any builds?

no, there IS an xcode3 version that will run and build under 10.7. Incompatible here means you can't build via 10.7sdk on xcode3.

this should do it -> http://anatomicwax.tumblr.com/post/80649...lion-redux

Git commit 10.7

Noticed a few new commits, are you moving in the direction of Xcode 4 building?

Been playing with Xcode 4.3 installed, but now that everything is wrapped up inside Xcode.app I think it'll require a fair bit of work that's way over my head. Had to install autoconf from source too as it's dumped in 4.3.

Thanks, I'll check it out. Will the audio engine merge help with the depends issues?

As for the autotools being dropped, I'm guessing it's to do with gpl.v3 and the shipped version getting way out of date?

Either way, Apple.... easier to just drop functionality than to fix.

"Will the audio engine merge help with the depends issues", no.
