Project does not build

[antoniogermano]

I get compiler errors (missing file) when trying to build the project for a real device:

clang: error: no such file or directory: '/Users/antoniogermano/Work/Mobile/firefox-ios/ThirdParty/sqlcipher/sqlite3.c'
clang: error: no input files

I have tried to build it exactly as said on the GitHub page, and I'm building using Xcode.

If I try to run on the simulator instead I get a very similar error, just using another location:

module sqlite3 [system] {
    // the line below causes the error
    header "/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS8.3.sdk/usr/include/sqlite3.h"
    link "sqlite3"
    export *
}

/Users/antoniogermano/Work/Mobile/firefox-ios/Storage/modules/module.modulemap:2:12: error: header '/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS8.3.sdk/usr/include/sqlite3.h' not found
header "/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS8.3.sdk/usr/include/sqlite3.h"
       ^
<unknown>:0: error: could not build Objective-C module 'sqlite3'

Did anybody else have this problem?

Try installing Carthage.pkg from https://github.com/Carthage/Carthage/releases
Then go to your firefox source directory from terminal.
Give the following command:

./checkout.sh

after installing necessary dependencies open the Client.xcodeproj file from finder with XCode.
Then in order to build Command+B
You can run then with Command+R.

Same issue here.

Where does the sqlite3.c file dependency comes from? The Sqlite Cipher project does not seem to contain any sqlite3.c file nor does the firefox for iOS repository.

By the way, but this is more related to Carthage, I had to manually fetch dependencies as Carthage segfaults on my machine with the Firefox for iOS Cartfile.

I managed to make it compile: I first opened the sqlcipher Xcode project, built the sqlcipher target then reopened the Firefox for iOS project and it passed.
It seems to be a build dependency failure of Xcode.

I forgot to mention that I used the latest sqlcipher project for that. However, the default configuration seems to not be good for Firefox. I got back to the version delivered with Firefox. I had to build the sqlcipher dependency (amalgamation) manually. In a Terminal, in the ThirdParty/sqlcipher directory, type:

./configure --enable-tempstore=yes --with-crypto-lib=commoncrypto CFLAGS="-DSQLITE_HAS_CODEC -DSQLITE_TEMP_STORE=2"
make sqlite3.c

The command is taken from the amalgamation target Run Script build phase of the sqlcipher Xcode project.
