Building JSCocoa for iPhone - JSValueRef Error

[Mithin]

Hi,

I am trying to build JSCocoa for iPhone by including the JSCocoa code
as part of my project. When I compile I see following errors

...JSCocoa/iPhone/../JSCocoaPrivateObject.h:48: error: expected
specifier-qualifier-list before 'JSValueRef'
...JSCocoa/iPhone/../JSCocoaPrivateObject.h:49: error: expected
specifier-qualifier-list before 'JSContextRef'

Any idea how I can fix it?

Thanks!

Looks like it's missing JavascriptCore — this is a private framework on the iPhone. Check out iPhoneTest2, it includes the JavascriptCore headers from OSX. The functions themselves are fetched at runtime by JavascriptCore-dlsym.m .

Including the framework in the project and the headers in the code is
not fixing the errors.

Any idea what can be the issue?

Start from iPhoneTest2, not from a new project. The iPhone support only exists in there.

For others who aren't satisfied until they understand what's going on
under the hood, the problem here appears to be that

#include "JavascriptCore.h"

needs to be in the .pch file.

And make sure to do the following:

- In Project Settings
- Other Linker Flags -lxml2
- Header Search Paths /usr/include/libxml2

- Don't forget to add iPhone.bridgesupport under JSCocoa/iPhone.

- Note that main.m (unsurprisingly) is changed vs the default main.m.
