iPhone Coding: Build your Leopard toolchain from scratch

It looks like it takes care of the does not build issues with:
export INCPRIVEXT="-isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk"

Here its using the Tiger SDK as opposed to Leopard.

BTW for those not lucky enough to get to use a Mac on a day-to-day basis, it is also possible to build this on Linux. I have it running on Centos and Ubuntu. Headers from xCode and the decrypted filesystem are needed.

Erica, have you actually gotten this to work? On the iphone-dev wiki, Leopard is listed under "Supported but currently does not build."

Just to note - I had to run chmod a+x ../../llvm-gcc-4.0-iphone/configure and remove certain '' symbols (representing line feeds I imagine) even in unbroken lines.

Just out of curiosity, where did the name "tool chain" come from? Why not dub thee with the standard "SDK" label? Or is that reserved for the next year's actual, real-life SDK?

Cheers,

iGo. If you don't know what a tool chain is, you don't need one. It is a term that refers to the compilers, libraries, and other peices of software required to compile code and build applications for the iPhone itself. If you wanted to create your own program to load on your iPhone, you'd need some sort of tool chain.

What is a toolchain and why would I need it? Just not sure how to proceed to add this to my iPhone.

Thanks in advance for you help.
