during the compile of YAJL I get this error:

Scanning dependencies of target yajl
CMake Error: Cannot open file for write: /Users/morgz/yajl/build/src/CMakeFiles/yajl.dir/depend.make.tmp
CMake Error: : System Error: Permission denied

:-( Looks like my YAJL celebrations were premature

Damien · 5 months ago

Have you tried sudo'ing the commands? That usually gets the permission errors solved.

Dan Morgan · 5 months ago

Hey Damien - Thanks for the reply.

I copied this directly into the console:

sudo ./configure && make install

Is sudo'ing when the command begins with the word sudo? I've had nothing but nightmares with YAJL!

Dan Morgan · 5 months ago

Hey Damien,

Is there any chance you could uplaod the files so I could then copy them into /usr/local/lib/ and /usr/local/include/yajl manually?

Thanks

Did you get around this problem? I've tried changing the folder permissions of yajl/build/src/CMakeFiles/yajl.dir but somehow it keeps getting set back to readonly.

Dan Morgan · 5 months ago

No :-( I also set the permissions and I still cant sudo the files into them. I'm gonna try and manually copy the files from the YAJL folder into the respective usr folders. Will let you know how I get on.

Mowglii · 4 months ago

instead of doing:

sudo ./configure && make install

break it up into two commands:

sudo ./configure
sudo make install

Thanks for this tip!

Hi,

I added the search paths and it should work correctly, but it always ends saying it can't find the <yajl/yajl_parse.h> header...
Don't know what I'm doing wrong here.

Help appreciated. ;)

Alex K · 5 months ago

I was having a similar problem. I noticed that in the instructions here, it says to include /usr/local/lib/yajl in the header search path; however, on my machine, it installed the yajl headers to /usr/local/include/yajl. That might fix it for you. (It didn't for me -- I had to copy the headers in that directory directly into Xcode and then modify how they referred to each other -- changing <yajl/yajl_common.h> to "yajl_common.h", for instance.)

Jared Holdcroft · 5 months ago

I had this exact problem but changing the header search path to be just /usr/local/include fixed it. If you don't it expects yajl/yajl_parse.h to be in /usr/local/include/yajl/yajl!

Yong Rong Hou · 5 months ago

You are right. The include path should (of course) be /usr/local/include/yajl. That was my mistake. just corrected it in the article.

peterxu · 5 months ago

The way I solved this problem is that I made the folder
/usr/local/lib and /usr/local/include "read and write" from "read only" in the finder. (use "go to folder" in finder and type the address)

Hope that helps!

btw: if you are developing for iphone OS 3.0 as I did, you might get error with [NSApp terminate:self] in the delegate file. I used "exist (0)" instead. I wander if anyone has the same problem

Also can anyone inform me how to get the status data? I tried:
NSMutableArray *user1= [message objectAtIndex:0];
in the statusesReceived method but get the NSCFArray beyond bounds error.

I've followed your suggestions above, but regardless of which search path I add it still won't compile. I still get an error about it can't find "yajl_parse.h" and 28 other dependant errors. Questions: I'm new to Mac so exactly where is /user/local/ on my drive? When I Go To Folder in the finder it says that folder doesn't exist. Do I need to add the yajl files any place physically, or just add the framework via the .a file? Do I need to add the class files in that folder to my classes? Many thanks in advance!

In the end that part didn't end up mattering in my case. I didn't see his update regarding the compiled YAJL static library for iPhone and libYAJLIPhone.a. I was able to just use that and copy the YAJL header files to the include directories and set the project search paths. I haven't tested out the code but I have it compiling now.

Dan Morgan · 5 months ago

Thnk2wn. Would you be as kind to upload an example of the proj? I've been struggling with this for soo long now and I'm still getting 44 errors

thnk2wn · 4 months ago

See http://files.getdropbox.com/u/235508/iPhone/MGT... but note that (a) this is from a stripped down copy of my app and (b) it may not be at this location long. Also you'll still need the include files (usr/local/include) etc.

Dan Morgan · 4 months ago

Thanks you so so much. I've tested this and it works perfectly. I just had to change the header search path for the libxml2 to include a final '/'. Fantastic, you have no idea how long this has been doing my nut in for.

Jesse Armand · 4 months ago

I decided to do what gabriel did on yajl-objc, which is by including all of the yajl source code in the project, instead relying on that static library, because I also need this for iPhone OS 2.x.

joe_carney · 3 months ago

I've followed your instructions and now when I compile, I get this...

Library not found for -lyajl

Command /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/usr/bin/gcc-4.2 failed with exit code 1

Can't find anything on the Internet to help me out. I'd really like to use this but it has been an absolute nightmare getting started with it...

Any ideas?

Thanks so much for this article. After going through it and, I'll admit, encountering a whole lot of errors, mostly as a result of my unfamiliarity with Obj-C, JSON, XML and the SDK, it finally works!

In my case, I had to put in "/usr/local/include/" (without the 'yajl' sub-directory) as a Header Search Path to get it to work. Wouldn't see the file otherwise. (This took a while for me to figure out :P)

A tip with adding the libxml2.dylib framework to the project:
Instead of using Finder and dragging it in, you can also command-click Resources › Add › Existing Frameworks, and chose libxml2.dylib

I could previously only find "libxml2.2.dylib", and this doesn't seem to work very well.

谢谢给这篇真好的文章！
