[Bug 1623666] Re: iOS device contents not displayed in Ubuntu

[Jeff Kowalski]

@Sadi Yumuşak (sa-yu) #31:
I had the same problem you documented, and found it was because of a conflicting pkg-config.  In my case, I had one installed in ~/.linuxbrew/bin/pkg-config, which was picked up in my PATH before /usr/bin/pkg-config.  The solution was to temporarily rename the one in my linuxbrew so that the one in /usr/bin was used.  


@J. McDonald (mcdonald-joseph) #34:
You list the commands you've used, but not their output.  I suspect that the output of autogen.sh is similar to what sa-yu experienced in his note.  The specific error you're seeing from make means that the input file that it expects by default, which is named Makefile, cannot be found.  It is the autogen.sh script which produces that Makefile.  Its failure is likely due to a problem similar to what sa-yu describes.


@Adam Szmigin (smidge) @28: #28
Fine instructions.  I confirm that they work on Linux Mint 18.1 x64.
Just for clarity, readers should know that the command "$ cd ~/path/to/my/build/dir" shouldn't be taken literally.  Instead, it's shorthand for a couple commands like 
$ mkdir -p ~/build/libimobiledevice
$ cd ~/build/libimobiledevice

Title:
  iOS device contents not displayed in Ubuntu

Status in gnutls28 package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in libimobiledevice package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Plug in iOS device, and it doesn't show the documents on it.

  Please package the recent fix in libimobiledevice*:

  Vauge discussion that mentions using the latest git HEAD*:
  https://github.com/libimobiledevice/libimobiledevice/issues/327

  *This discussion is quite vague. One comment points out "iOS 10
  devices don't allow SSLv3 anymore but require at least TLSv1", but not
  how or if that has been fixed in libimobiledevice git HEAD.

  This ppa packages the git version and may resolve the issue:

  There are several other upstream reports related to this problem.

  Partial success patch (idevicepair only) trying to keep GnuTLS:
  https://github.com/libimobiledevice/libimobiledevice/issues/413

  Failure with GnuTLS, Success with OpenSSL:
  https://gitlab.com/gnutls/gnutls/issues/145

  Ubuntu packages libimobiledevice with "--disable-openssl":
  https://github.com/libimobiledevice/ifuse/issues/32

  Duplicate bug 1638177 suggests to repackage libimobiledevice using
  OpenSSL to avoid this problem, as per comment 27 below.
