I'm trying to build the PoDoFo (https://github.com/podofo/podofo) library for iOS using Conan. I get an error stating configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs. If you meant to cross compile, use --host' when installing the gperf package.
You can find my host and build profiles below, followed by the full error output:
tarlanismayilsoy@Tarlans-MacBook-Pro build % conan install --build=missing --profile:host=default --profile:build=default-ios ..

The issue was that the profiles were inverted. Changing the places of default-ios and default solved the problem. Thanks for the comments!
Note: I also had to change the [generators] inside my conanfile.txt to make it work after fixing this error. The value was cmake_find_package and it was supposed to be XcodeToolchain.
