Linking errors building from 6.0 for iOS

[Adrian]

Hi,

I thought I'd try the new 6.0 Community version and build an app for iOS. It does appear to create an app file, but when building there is a long error message which begins:

Linking for Armv7 failed with ID: warning: ignoring file

and then continues with several file paths, such as

/Applications/Livecode community 6.0.app/COntents/Tools/Runtime/iOS/Device-6_1/dbsqlite, file was built for i386 which is not the architecture being linked (Armv7)

My build settings are iPad, 5.1 or later, Arm v7

Is this something I'm doing (or not doing right)?

Cheers,

Adrian

*Edit* - I notice the built file size is much smaller (around 3Mb instead of 8Mb)

*Further edit* - Although I can drag the app onto Xcode and it prompts to confirm replacing the app on the iPad, it doesn't actually change the app.

Hi,

I can confirm this message - I get similar complaints when trying to compile for iPad, 6.1, Arm7. Works fine for LC 5.5.4, but not with LC 6.0.

Cheers,
Dave

Hi Neil,

Adrian was actually the one who submitted the bug report - I'll not submit a duplicate though.

Looking forward to seeing a fix.

Cheers,
Dave

yeah. same problem here. Ouch, right out of the gate! dying to see how 6.0 work on a real ios device.

[whapee]

Same here. 10.8.3 with XCode 4.6 and additional 5.1 SDK.

[MadManSoft]

Same here, 10.8.3 with 6.1 and 5.1 SDK installed.

It bombs on all selections, Universal, ARM6 and ARM7.

Can't Copy/past the error, but here goes nothing:

Linking for armv6 failed with Id: warning: ignoring file /Applications/LiveCode Community 6.0.app/Contents/Tools/Runtime/iOS/Device-5_1/Standalone, file was built for i386 which is not the architecture being linked (armv6)
Undefined symbols for architecture armv6:
"_main", referenced from: start in crt1.3.1.o
Id: symbols(s) not found for architecture armv6
collect2:Id returned 1 exit status

The same error repeats, with armv7 instead of armv6 when building specifically for arm7

Thanks, enjoying this product, can't wait to run some test on a real device. Works well on the simulator.

UPDATE: Found the bug report and acknowledgement as bug 10829
