iPHUC binary for Mac (PPC) users

[sterickson]

A bunch of people were having lots of trouble building iPHUC on Mac PPC boxen, so I put my binary up and some other info that might be of use to an Mac users.

I've tried building it, and keep coming up with errors, no matter what I do.

However, trying to run yours doesn't seem to work either, I get:

dyld: Library not loaded: /opt/local/lib/libreadline.5.2.dylib
Referenced from: /Users/~myuser/phonedmg/iphuc
Reason: no suitable image found. Did find:
/opt/local/lib/libreadline.5.2.dylib: mach-o, but wrong architecture
Trace/BPT trap


I'm confused and very frustrated, I cannot seem to get iPhuc phucing installed! :confused:

You're on a PPC Mac, right - not an Intel-based Mac?

No, actually I am on an intel mac, specifically a MBP.

[sterickson]

Then my binary will never work for you. As it says in the title of this thread and in my initial post, my binary is for the PPC Mac only.

Rather than getting the source from svn, you might try installing the iphuc macport and see if that works for you, on your platform. That's how I built the binary I posted.

Good luck! :)

Yeah, duh - helps to read, huh..? lol I just saw your others on the page, which said both ppc/intel

Sorry, been at this too long, and I am tired and weary. Thanks for your help.

Hrmm.

I *do* have a PPC and I've been able to compile a binary after upgrading Xcode to 2.4.1. I still can not get iPhuc to work properly though. I've even tried your binary and get the same results.

Is there a step I'm missing?

1. kill the itunes helper daemon
2. connect phone to the mac via it's sync cable
3. ./iphuc
4. trying deviceinfo always tells me:

(iPHUC) /: deviceinfo
deviceinfo:
error 7

Do I need a special cable for this? Pixie dust? A newt?

Thanks!

[sterickson]

I'm not sure what to tell you. I just ran that iphuc binary on the 15" PowerBook where I created it from the macport, and - with iTunes up and running, even - deviceinfo replies as expected.

The only bug I've noticed, is that sometimes the 'setafc com.apple.afc2' command will fail. If I then exit iphuc, re-run it and issue the command again, it succeeds. Others have seen this issue as well, with iphucs they've built.

Sorry I'm not able to offer you a solution. :(

Sometimes I think I should have been a programmer instead of an admin ...

iPHUC is a newer version of iphoneinterface
I have a ppc mac and iPHUC runs fine

I used this method for installing iPHUC on my computer

Thanks to both of you, I'll check out the other howto and try it with iTunes running.

Hrmmmmm

Still no dice:

But then none of the other commands seem to work. Once I do: setafc com.apple.afc2 should this then appear as a mounted volume? I'm sure I have much more reading to do....

After installing latest xCode, rebooting, then installing Macports and readline, I followed these instructions: http://smxy.org/iphone.html and everything went fine on my PPC Mac! Yay! :)

[motheius]

Would someone be willing to post a text capture of their working iphuc?
I mean just a ./iphuc and then paste the output here?

Thanks,
