I want to compile an open source iPhone app(https://github.com/newsyc/newsyc/) but since I don’t have a Mac, I can’t do it using Xcode. Is there any other way to do this? Is there anything on the Cydia appstore that might help?(I already have jailbroken my iPod)
sorry but the only way to compile iOs-apps is XCode. the gcc compiler does support objective-c, but the framwork-technique is only supported by apple’s compiler and the newest apple compiler only runs on intel-based Macs.
There are ways to make apps with Windows-SDKs which give you limited, but sometimes satisfying, functionality. But since you already have objective-c source code, you’ll need a mac (or a friend with a mac) to compile it.
I know that some people managed to run Mac OS X in a virtual machine on windows which could be your last solution – you’ll have to google this a lot because it can be really tricky. Maybe finding someone willing to compile the sources for you will be a lot faster xD
