I want to compile an iPhone app using make command. But it always shows error

make: /opt/iphone/bin/arm-apple-darwin-gcc: No such file or directory
make: *** [src/main.o] Error 1

Here are the makefile contents. 

CC=/opt/iphone/bin/arm-apple-darwin-gcc \
    -isysroot /opt/iphone/addons/1.0.2/system \
    -isystem /opt/iphone/include \
    -isystem /opt/iphone/include/gcc/darwin/3.3 \
    -F/opt/iphone/addons/1.0.2/system/System/Library/Frameworks

How do i compile my app. I am not familiar with unix commands. So please guide me step by step.

Update

Now getting error after changing paths.

                 from /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOs4.2.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/Foundation.framework/Headers/Foundation.h:10,

    Replace /opt/iphone/ by /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/usr/ or whereever your gcc is located. If I look into my bin sub-directory there is no arm-apple-darwin-gcc but a arm-apple-darwin10-llvm-gcc-4.2.

    Open a terminal and type

    cd /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/usr

    ls bin/

    Now you will see a list of compilers available on your system. BTW: I don’t have an addons directory so I guess it is part of some special software package you have installed.

    [Update]:
    Following flags are set in XCode:

    -x objective-c -arch armv7 -fmessage-length=0 -pipe -std=c99 -Wno-trigraphs -fpascal-strings -O0 -Wreturn-type -Wunused-variable -isysroot /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS4.2.sdk -gdwarf-2 -mthumb -miphoneos-version-min=4.2

    I don’t know that much about the details of every flag, but it’s worth a try to set them in CC within your makefile.
