Problems while porting

I'm sorry, your right, it's zlib. 

[Pharanoia]

Then what should I do? any tutorial or something may be helpful

[Trcx528]

Download the deb, apt-get install zlib.  It will download to /var/cache/apt/archives (I think) either way

Code: [Select]

find / -name *.deb
will find it.  I would then force the install with

Code: [Select]

dpkg --force-all -i zlib.deb


[Pharanoia]

Well, I searched for the documents installed via repo of zlib, but I don't see a libz.1.dylib file (which is needed), anyway I'll try to follow your steps


EDIT:
I'm having this message error on terminal



Did I just f**ked up the /bin folder? Should I restore the iPod and start from the beginning? --help

Ugh.  I would say apt-get is ****ed.  You might be able to repair it through

Code: [Select]

dpkg --force-all -r apt7
and then downloading apt7 in cydia...that could fix it, other wise you're probably best off to restore.

Fixed apt-get command, zlib downloaded and installed from terminal,but there's no libz.1.dylib on /usr/lib, should I rename some of the installed files? I tried before but without solution (probably because i'm still being a big noob)

my /usr/lib folder:


EDIT:
it keep showing the same problem about that file

Ah! I think I see the problem, libz is compiled as a static library (.a) rather than a dynamic one (.dylib)...you could port libz and provide both static and dynamic (preferred way) or just compile statically.....either way read up on the configure flags as they tend to differ a little bit, but your probably looking for something like --enable-static --enable-shared to build both static and shared (dynamic) libs

[Pharanoia]

i tried to compile it as static and dynamic (following first your flags gave error, and then the zlib --help ones worked), but there still any signal of the libz.1.dylib

EDIT:
viewing the errors it seems is missing another library, here the error log

Libc is the standard C library on most linux systems.  Darwin does not use a libc, but instead has all the C stuff in libSystem. I would search the Makefile and remove all references to "-lc"
