Where is the source code for libTiCore.a Titanium Mobile component?

Titanium Mobile is a open source project but I cant find the source code of libTiCore.a anywhere.
I've found header files (.h) for it here, but still can't find full source… :(

    I think you need to compile it, by running scons from the root directory of your titanium_mobile repository.

    • Thanks for reply.

      That's the way to build Titanium Mobile… The question was "is libticore.a an open source component, and if so where can I find full source code?".

  • Out of interest, Alex, why do you need it? Is it to resolve a problem?

      I'am just trying to find out is Titanium Mobile a true open source project, or some of it's components are closed.

  • Note that the answer at this link is incorrect. Those are merely the headers for libTiCore.a, not the source.

    The source code for libTiCore.a is at https://github.com/appcelerator/tijscore. There is a note to this effect in the SConstruct file in titanium_mobile:

    "NOTE: this is simply a pre-built version of the source at http://github.com/appcelerator/tijscore since this is so freaking complicated to setup and build in an stable environment, and since it takes like an hour to build the library, we have, as a convenience, pre-built it from the exact same source and are providing the pre-compiled versions for i386/arm"
