I’m trying to compile some code for the iphone simulator but am getting this error:
/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/usr/bin/gcc-4.2 -O3 -isysroot /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneSimulator3.0.sdk -Os -O3 -isysroot /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneSimulator3.0.sdk -Os -x objective-c -I../../include -c version.c

make: *** [version.o] Error 1
However, if I compile for the actual iphone, it works fine:
/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/usr/bin/gcc-4.2 -O3 -isysroot /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS3.0.sdk -arch armv6 -Os -O3 -isysroot /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS3.0.sdk -arch armv6 -Os -x objective-c -I../../include -c version.c
This problem happens with a file as simple as just including Foundation.h with no other code:
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
Any ideas on what this is about? The strange this is that I would expect this to fail for both iphone and the simulator.
EDIT: fyi, I’m not using XCode. This is a large, multi-platform project using Makefiles. The commands you see above were emitted from the Makefile.
I saw the same thing. The fix is to add a -miphoneos-version-min=3.0 compiler directive.
