View source for Theos/Setup/iOS

This page is for setting up Theos on an iOS Device. For other platforms see [[Theos/Setup]].

== Requirements ==

* A jailbroken iOS device with Cydia (or another package manager) installed.
* Knowledge on how to use a command line terminal.
* Objective C knowledge.

=== Optional Requirements ===

* OpenSSH installed on your device and a computer that you can SSH into your device with (using MobileTerminal gets tedious pretty quickly).

== Installing Theos and it's dependencies ==

# Add the following repositories to your Cydia sources.
#* http://coolstar.org/publicrepo
#* http://nix.howett.net/theos
# Install the following packages in Cydia:
#* <code>Perl</code>
#* <code>Theos</code>
#* <code>iOS Toolchain</code>
# Check that Theos is installed on your device by running: <pre>echo $THEOS</pre><br />The output should be: <code>/var/theos</code>

== Setting up the iOS SDK ==

Navigate to http://iphone.howett.net/sdks and check which iOS SDK you wish to download.

# Create a directory for the SDK to be placed in: <pre>mkdir -p $THEOS/sdks</pre>
# Download the SDK temporarily and extract to the SDK directory: <pre>curl -ksL "http://iphone.howett.net/sdks/dl/iPhoneOSX.Y.sdk.tbz2" | tar -xj -C $THEOS/sdks</pre><br>''X.Y being the version numbers of the SDK, as seen in http://iphone.howett.net/sdks.''

== Additional Step for 64 bit (ARM64) Devices ==

With the current version of Theos (0.9.639-1), building on ARM64 will throw an error. The following will solve this issue.

# Create symlinks to support ARM64: <pre>ln -s $THEOS/makefiles/platform/Darwin-arm.mk $THEOS/makefiles/platform/Darwin-arm64.mk&#10;ln -s $THEOS/makefiles/targets/Darwin-arm $THEOS/makefiles/targets/Darwin-arm64</pre>
