The iPhone SDK was released today. It looks like it’s going to be a lot of fun.
As you may have heard, Apple released an Objective-C SDK for the iPhone today. That was good news for me, because I was hoping to be able to port Nu to the iPhone.
As an early test, I pulled all the Nu sources into one of Apple’s sample programs and compiled. I had to fix a few things in the code (removing Cocoa dependencies, for one thing) and I had to build an appropriate pcre library. Fortunately, a libffi was included in the SDK. Rather than work out all the gcc options I would need to build with nuke, I did this build in Xcode.
The screenshot above shows the sample program running in Apple’s iPhone simulator.
In the next day or so, I will release a package containing all of the precompiled libraries and header files that are needed to start building iPhone apps with Nu.
