Toolchain is the name of the compiler used for all the apps you see today for the iPhone. Historically, it has been very difficult to setup and get working often requiring several days of work. iPhone developer Saurik has created a version of the toolchain that runs directly on the iPhone. I have taken his toolchain which consists of his ported GCC and odcctools, and added my headers from the Cygwin toolchain that I use to compile my apps. Together, this brings you a one-click compilation environment that runs directly from the iPhone!
Here are the steps to install and start compiling your apps:
1) Install Cydia
2) Install “iPhone 1.1.1 Headers”
3) Copy your apps source code to /tmp or such with ssh and type “make”.
Works for all apps for 1.0.2 - 1.1.4. Will be updated for 2.0 after July 11th.
Here is a sample makefile (this is for BossTool obviously).
Enjoy!
Note: there are no Apple SDK headers present in any of these packages.

Is it possible with this, to make an app that will change the snooze time ???? Like, 9 minutes is not always good for snooze !

Sure. This is the same as what everyone is using for all the apps today.

It is ok if you get those linker errors from Foundation and CoreFoundation conflicting as long as it compiles for you anyway.

Hi bigboss,
I use the toolchain on my iPhone OS 2.0. Could i need to copy the old header files into iPhone? or i need to copy the new SDK’s header files into iPhone? I try to make my demo and there are so many errors. Could you please have a little sample code and makefile for iPhone OS 2.0?
Thanks very much!
