i'm trying to Building libCURL in iOS 4.2, i do some steps in the terminal. The steps are :

cd curl-7.21.2
export CC=/Developer\ 4.2/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/usr/bin/arm-apple-darwin10-gcc-4.0.1
export CFLAGS="-isysroot /Developer\ 4.2/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS4.2.sdk"
export LDFLAGS="-isysroot /Developer\ 4.2/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS4.2.sdk -Wl,-syslibroot /Developer\ 4.2/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS4.2.sdk"
export CPP=/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/usr/bin/cpp
./configure --disable-shared --without-ssl --without-libssh2 --without-ca-bundle --without-ldap --disable-ldap --host=arm-apple-darwin10

but after tap enter the terminal show me these warnings and errors :

this is the config.log :

This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

It was created by curl configure -, which was
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.68.  Invocation command line was

  $ ./configure --disable-shared --without-ssl --without-libssh2 --without-ca-bundle --without-ldap --disable-ldap --host=arm-apple-darwin10

base on Bavarious comments, i've change all the command in every step, these are the update :

export CC='\"/Developer 4.2/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/usr/bin/arm-apple-darwin10-gcc-4.0.1\">
export CFLAGS="-isysroot \"/Developer 4.2/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS4.2.sdk\""

export CPP='\"/Developer 4.2/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/usr/bin/cpp">
./configure --disable-shared --without-ssl --without-libssh2 --without-ca-bundle --without-ldap --disable-ldap --host=arm-apple-darwin10

but it make the terminal did not execute the command.

i dont understand what it is, can somebody tell me?

Thank you

It’ll help if you edit your question and paste the last few lines of config.log. – Giuseppe 26/5, 2011 at 6:49

i have update my question, please see it – Lichenology 26/5, 2011 at 6:56

It looks like configure is not quoting the path to the compiler, which must be quoted because it contains spaces: /Developer 4.2/. Try exporting CC as `\"/Developer 4.2/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/usr/bin/arm-apple-darwin10-gcc-4.0.1\" – Giuseppe 26/5, 2011 at 7:0

You might have to do that in all variables that reference /Developer 4.2/. – Giuseppe 26/5, 2011 at 7:4

@Bavarious can you give me another clue about step 3, i'm doubt about the double quotes – Lichenology 26/5, 2011 at 7:4

Try export CFLAGS="-isysroot \"/Developer 4.2/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS4.2.sdk\"" – Giuseppe 26/5, 2011 at 7:7

@Bavarious i try all of your answer, but it make the terminal can not execute the command, it always give me '>' when i press enter, if i try /Developer 4.2/ it give me log that that command is wrong – Lichenology 26/5, 2011 at 7:15

I haven’t used autotools in a while so I’m not sure how to solve this. One possibility is to create a symbolic link without any spaces in its name and point it to /Developer 4.2. For instance, sudo ln -s /Developer\ 4.2 /Developer4.2, and then replace that in all your variables. – Giuseppe 26/5, 2011 at 7:25

Why are you using the iPhone compiler? – Decurrent 16/4, 2013 at 1:2

If you are on Lion try installing with the tag: --with-gcc=clang

Running rvm requirements explains this in more detail:

Xcode 4.2:
 * is only supported by ruby 1.9.3+ using command line flag: --with-gcc=clang
 * it breaks gems with native extensions, especially DB drivers.

Xcode 4.2 users - please be warned - 
in case of any compilation issues 
 * downgrade to Xcode 4.1
 * or install osx-gcc-installer
and reinstall your rubies.

Gracious answered 5/2, 2012 at 3:18 Comment(2)

This didn't work for me, since I didn't want Xcode installed. I used the osx-gcc-installer and CC=/usr/bin/gcc-4.2 rvm install 1.9.3 --with-shared on Lion to get ruby. – Lave 27/2, 2012 at 6:30

I was facing the same problem and after installing XCode Command Line Utilities everything worked just fine. – Lions 7/8, 2012 at 20:2

The problem is the spaces in the pathnames. What's more, there isn't an easy fix until you remove them.

The trouble is in the log file - it just appears near the middle of it...

To get the paths with the spaces to work, you'd have to be able to ensure that whenever CC is used, the path is enclosed in double quotes. You'd also have to fettle your CFLAGS value so that the path is not split but the -isysroot is separate from the path leading to -isysroot.

If you want to get adventurous, you can try using:

export CC="\"/Developer 4.2/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/usr/bin/arm-apple-darwin10-gcc-4.0.1\""
export CFLAGS="-isysroot \"/Developer 4.2/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS4.2.sdk\""

There's an outside chance it will work, but I'd not want to rely on it. Basically, it adds double quotes at judiciously selected points in the values of the environment variables, in the hope that the shell will manage to keep them in the right places. I don't think it will work, but it might be worth a try.

I recommend renaming the path where you have the software installed without the space, maybe as:

/Developer-4.2/Platforms/...

(I had a directory $HOME/External Source Repositories briefly, with areas for git and svn and hg (Mercurial) copies of external source repositories, including the VCS's mentioned. The VCS were OK with the spaces in the names, but the build processes for the downloaded repositories (including the VCS own build systems) were not (git included, IIRC). The directory is now called $HOME/External-Source-Repositories instead.)
