One Box to Rule Them All ;]

Well, I decided not to buy MAC for now :) So what about iPhone and its SDK? Fuck it :) I decided to go unofficial SDK and my favorite editor (Eclipse) way.
Well yes I can’t debug, and yes Official iPhone SDK "is much better" so don’t read rest of the post if you don’t want to :)

Here is my Eclipse

I'm very lazy person actually, and write tons of command to build application, then fire SFTP client to upload my application to iPhone, and then find application in iPhone to launch it is not for me. So here is "MY" way of doing things - "1 click and enjoy your application on iPhone" way :)

So - my way:

• Windows;
• Unofficial iPhone SDK aka Toolchain;
• Eclipse +CDT (yes I know it not supports ObjC);

Steps:

1. Jailbreak your iPhone, install BSD Subsystem, SSH;
2. Go http://wiki.iphonegameover.com/Windows_Cygwin_Binary_Toolchain_Installation and do everything as they say :) its a good, easy and fast way to acquire Toolchain;
3. Get Eclipse, go to Help >> Software Updates >> Find and Install, add http://download.eclipse.org/tools/cdt/releases/europa as remote site and install CDT
4. Create project and write some code (I use HelloWorld application I found somewhere)

And now the fun part :)
At this point you should go to "Cygwin Bash Shell", "cd" to way too long directory, compile application, start your SFTP client, again navigate to way too long directory, upload your compiled application, go to iPhone and start it.
Well - it’s not "My way", "Eclipse way" nor "Windows way" of doing things :)

So here's the magic:

1. Download my 2 scripts (thanks my colleague Mantas for support making them).
2. Place them to "C:\cygwin\" (if u didn't changed it)
3. Go to Eclipse, Run >> External Tools >> Open External Tools Dialog...
4. Create new "Program", for "Location:" type in "C:\cygwin\BuildToIphone.bat",
   for arguments add "${project_name} ${project_loc} 10.0.0.55" (without quotes and replace "10.0.0.55" with your iPhone IP.), press "Apply", and "Run".

If everything is ok in Eclipse console you should see how Eclipse (Cygwin, arm-apple-darwin-gcc) builds your project, uploads it to iPhone and runs. Don't forget to add your newly created "Run profile" to favorites and you will be able to build and upload to iPhone in 1 click on

Still with me? :)
Remember I told I’m very lazy? :) "10.0.0.55" is my iPhones IP at home and "192.168.0.55" at work, so instead of using entire IP you can add only last digits "${project_name} ${project_loc} 55" (I’m using like that). Script extracts your gateway IP and changes last digits to your specified. So if I add only "55" at home IP becomes "10.0.0.55" and at work "192.168.0.55".

Anything I forgot? Any more Cool ideas? Contacts on the right ;)
