iphone/ipad/iOS on Linux Debian7/ubuntu12.04/linuxmint13/ubuntu14.04 compiling from source

The packages we need for ubuntu12.04 and its derived destros are:

libimobiledevices, libplist, libusbmuxd

 

Mostly the important thing is libimobiledevices. and it has an official site: http://libimobiledevice.org   . You can download the sources codes there.

 

Now I have compiled those packages for Debian7/ubuntu12.04/linuxmint13 x64 version . You may download and try.

 

libimobiledevice 1.2.0

libplist 1.12

libusbmuxd 1.0.10

Add support for ubuntu14.04 LTS

 

You can get the package from ubuntu APT or compile by yourself.

 

1) Get it from APT

sudo apt-get install libimobiledevice-dev  -y

http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/libimobiledevice-dev

The version of libimobiledevice is 1.1.5. Actually the lastest libimobiledevice (1.2.0) supports iOS 9. So if you want to use that, just compile by yourself.

2) Compile by yourself

Before doing this, you should remove the package named **libimobiledevice-dev** if you had installed before.

sudo apt-get remove libimobiledevice-dev libusbmuxd-dev libplist-dev usbmuxd -y

 Before your compiling libimobiledevice for your Linux system, you should have some packages installed, those including libusbmuxd ( >= 1.0.9) and libplist ( >=1.11)

 

(1) Pre-compiling: Compiling libplist 

http://www.libimobiledevice.org/downloads/libplist-1.12.tar.bz2

(2) Pre-compiling: Compiling libusbmuxd 

http://www.libimobiledevice.org/downloads/libusbmuxd-1.0.10.tar.bz2

 （3）libfuse-dev

sudo apt-get install libfuse-dev -y

 

（4）ifuse

wget -c http://www.libimobiledevice.org/downloads/ifuse-1.1.3.tar.bz2
tar -xjvf ifuse-1.1.3.tar.bz2
cd ifuse-1.1.3/
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/    # This is important for setting sys lib path
make 
make install

 

 

Then go compling libimobiledevice,

sudo apt-get install libplist-dev  libplist++-dev libgnutls-dev libssl-dev

sudo git clone https://github.com/libimobiledevice/libimobiledevice
cd libimobiledevice/
./autogen.sh
make
make install

 If you have error as this:

/src/.libs/libimobiledevice.so: undefined reference to `SSLv3_method'

Issue and solution from : https://github.com/libimobiledevice/libimobiledevice/issues/254

Just try download the source codes from github rather than the official site.

 

 

Or if you want to build a deb package file

sudo checkinstall -D -install=no -pkgversion=1.2.1 -pkgname=libimobiledevice make install
dpkg -i libimobiledevice-1.2.0-1-ubuntu.deb
# Then check it where it was installed
dpkg -L libimobiledevice

 

 

 

Or you don't need to compile by yourself, just download these packages for your system.
