how to build mp4v2 for iphone

Question

I'm new to ios development, and I want to use the mp4v2 library. I have successfully compiled for iphone simulator, i386, but am having trouble compiling for the iphone architecture. Configuring/Make-ing for i386 was easy:

./configure --disable-gch --enable-ub=i386

However, using armv6/7 as a tag didn't work

./configure --disable-gch --enable-ub=armv6,armv7

While configuring worked, the make command led to the error below:

/bin/sh ./libtool --tag=CXX   --mode=compile g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H   -arch i386 -arch armv6 -arch armv7 -I./include -I./include -I. -I.  -Wall -Wformat -g -O2 -fvisibility=hidden -c -o src/3gp.lo src/3gp.cpp

How do I compile for iphone?

Answer 1

I guess that this error is caused by trying to find cross compiler from system root path /usr/bin/../llvm-gcc-4.2/bin/arm-apple-darwin11-llvm-g++-4.2 instead of from Developer document. A little stupid solution is create a symbolic link llvm-gcc-4.2 in system root path /usr, pointing to the real path.
