Hi,
I'm trying to cross-compile libffi for iOS from Debian. I managed to cross-compile it successfully for MacOS (arm64 and x86) using OSX Cross but I'm getting some errors for iOS.
My configure command is:
./configure --host=arm-apple-darwin11 --prefix=$IOS_TOOLCHAIN_ROOT --libdir=$IOS_TOOLCHAIN_ROOT/lib --disable-docs
This is the error I'm getting:
libtool: link: ( cd ".libs" && rm -f "libffi_convenience.la" && ln -s "../libffi_convenience.la" "libffi_convenience.la" )
Undefined symbols for architecture arm64:
"_ffi_call", referenced from:
_ffi_raw_call in raw_api.o
_ffi_java_raw_call in java_raw_api.o
"_ffi_closure_trampoline_table_page", referenced from:
_ffi_closure_alloc in closures.o
"_ffi_prep_cif_machdep", referenced from:
_ffi_prep_cif_core in prep_cif.o
"_ffi_prep_cif_machdep_var", referenced from:

_ffi_prep_raw_closure in raw_api.o
_ffi_prep_java_raw_closure_loc in java_raw_api.o
_ffi_prep_java_raw_closure in java_raw_api.o
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture arm64
I've raised an issue with full logs here https://github.com/libffi/libffi/issues/821
Anyone know any workaround for this? I need libffi as it's a dependency to Glib.
Thanks

I can’t speak to any of the eccentricities introduced by using OSX Cross, but the build process for iOS isn’t quite the same as it is for the platforms - it requires some pre- and post- processing. You don't just invoke ./configure from the command line as you would for a “normal” autoconf project.
There’s a `generate_darwin_source_and_headers.py` script in the root of the libffi code checkout; when you execute that, it generates `build_` folders for each architecture, and runs configure for you.
You can see these tools in action in the repo I maintain for libFFI support on iOS/tvOS/watchOS; here’s the invocation of the helper script:
https://github.com/beeware/cpython-apple-source-deps/blob/main/Makefile#L474
And the build itself:
https://github.com/beeware/cpython-apple-source-deps/blob/main/Makefile#L339
Each pass will give you a binary for a *single* ABI and architecture; Depending on your intended usage, you may need to combine them into “fat” binaries for each ABI; depending on how you’re using the library, you may also need to combine the multiple ABI fat binaries into a single XCframework.
Or - the releases page for the repo I just linked has pre-built (single ABI and architecture) binaries.
https://github.com/beeware/cpython-apple-source-deps/releases/tag/libFFI-3.4.4-1
Hope that helps,
