Compiling libical

Question

I would like to compile libical and add it to my Xcode project.

I have read the README file and run the following commands in Terminal.app:

./configu

I am the person who originally created those build scripts located here...

http://code.google.com/p/mwiphonesdk/source/browse/trunk/iMADE/PrepTasks/05+Event+Calendar/Packers+Schedule/libical/build+scripts/

I have now updated the scripts to work with the latest iOS 6/Xcode 4.5 toolset. It is quite different and I have set it to use Clang. I did what I could to make this script adapt to new SDK releases.

http://www.smallsharptools.com/downloads/libical/

The scripts should be placed in the root of the libical folder and run from there. The main script runs the other 2 scripts to build the armv7 and armv7s binaries and then uses xcrun to run lipo for iphoneos to combine these binaries into a fat binary which can be used for an iOS project.

There are some refactorings which could easily be done but I have already spent a ton of time on it already. I hope this helps you make use of the library.
