I was trying to follow the instructions listed in this question/answer.

libimobiledevice 1.2 (iOS 8 Support) for Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty

The answer said : "Actually I cheated a bit. I couldn't satisfy the build dependencies, because a library isn't available in sufficiently recent versions in Ubuntu 14.04: libimobiledevice-1.2.0 requires libusbmuxd-dev (>= 1.0.9), so you'll have to build it from source first with the same recipe."

I assumed that "build it from source first with the same recipe." meant to follow the same steps, substituting libusbmuxd-dev for libimobiledevice. I also assumed that I should do that before building lbimobiledevice.

I did that and get a fatal error in the debuild step 5. Being new to this, and after a lot of searching, I am at a loss for how to determine what the error is and what needs to be done to correct it. This is the first thing I have done after a new install of 14.04. So if someone can help it would be appreciated.

This is because the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX option is missing for the make.
So in your ~/usbmuxd-1.1.0 add the complementary file CMakeCache.txt
and write in it:
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=/usr

  • Thanks but that seemed to have no effect. The results of the debuild command were identical. – MartinC_47 May 03 '15 at 17:21
  • As a test I removed the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH line from the configure_flags in the debian/rules file and the debuild failed on the next Cmake variable, -DCMAKE_SKIP_RPATH=true. It seems to have something to do with the override_dh_auto_configure but I am way over my head here. – MartinC_47 May 03 '15 at 17:35
  • you are true, and like you when I removed the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX, fault is on the next variable. I am beginning building with the libplist-1.12 packet because building usbmuxd-1.1.0 go to Requested 'libplist >= 1.11' but version of libplist is 1.10

    Then I removed the -D characters at beginning for the 3 variables in configure_flags like below configure_flags += CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr
    CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR=/usr/lib/$(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH)
    Python_ADDITIONAL_VERSIONS=$(PYVER) and also comment the line

    dh_install --fail-missing

    Now build go and ending on normal key error...

  • My apologies kalagani but I'm not sure I understand what you mean. – MartinC_47 May 04 '15 at 02:19
  • @MartinC_47 Did your ever manage to solve this problem - I'm currently stuck in the same place? – Andy Davies May 25 '15 at 10:30
  • @Andy Davies - No. Unfortunately not. I have put iOS support aside for the time being. Working on other deliverables in the meantime while waiting for a positive reply. – MartinC_47 May 26 '15 at 12:47
  • Same problem here... – ArunasR Aug 25 '15 at 20:47

First, you tried to upgrade usbmuxd and not libusbmuxd-dev. (I ran into the same thing.)

Second, I downloaded libusbmuxd-dev (and some prerequisites) from the ubuntu 15.10 repostiroy. Look for the appropriate version here.

So, building libimobiledevice-1.2.0 was possible for me. But be warned: I was not able to connect my iphone any longer. So I ended up, reinstalling older libraries from a ppa and wait for someone who knows it better and builds a ppa.
