build macOS libs only

[dimitre]

is there a way of building macOS libs only?

Some more recent versions fail for me like this:

./build.sh -o 3.0.15 -c 8.11.1 -d

./build.sh -o 3.4.0 -c 8.11.1 -d

Thank you, great project!

Right now the build just creates libraries for iOS, tvOS and macOS targets. I put this together to help with my iOS apps but you actually have a good point. I don't think it would take much to add a switch to focus it on one target only.

./build.sh -o 3.0.15 -c 8.11.1 -d

Can you post the errors you are getting? I was able to get it to build:

https://github.com/jasonacox/Build-OpenSSL-cURL/releases/tag/v8.11.1

./build.sh -o 3.4.0 -c 8.11.1 -d

We typically focus on only the long term support (LTS) version (3.0.x) since the dev version are so much in flux and keep breaking the build on minor revs. We could create separate branches for those however.

Great! yes I've tested again and it built great. not failing, my bad.
and thanks about LTS info, makes sense. I'm now building only mac commenting out other platforms.
I'm trying to build manually the libraries for openframeworks project and this script will be very helpful.
openSSL / Curl are the hard ones.

Another thing I've noticed, I'm trying to build libraries to min macos ver = 11.0, by passing the parameter

./build.sh -o 3.0.15 -c 8.11.1 -d -i 11.0

and it works for intel, not for arm

Building Mac libraries
Building curl-8.11.1 for x86_64 (MacOS 11.0)
Building curl-8.11.1 for arm64 (MacOS 14.7.2)

[jasonacox]

That's great news, thanks @dimitre . It still may be worthwhile to figure out a switch to just build for one target.

As to the macos version, the -i switch is for intel (MACOS_X86_64_VERSION). The -a switch is for arm (MACOS_ARM64_VERSION) so your build would be:

./build.sh -o 3.0.15 -c 8.11.1 -d -i 11.0 -a 11.0

For other switches, you can run ./build.sh -h to see the list.

[dimitre]

Thank you again.
They are all good and working now!

One modification I'm using here is

export CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_LAUNCHER="ccache"

to try to cache between build tests.

I had to change one option on curl,

./configure --disable-ldap

to avoid some ldap related errors

I have updated the script to allow single platform builds. For your case:

./build.sh -p macos # This would only build macOS assets

I had to change one option on curl,

./configure --disable-ldap

I created a test macOS app and noticed this error as well. However, this can also be fixed by including the required libraries in the Xcode project. For my test, I added liblapd.tbd, CoreFoundation.framework, and SystemConfiguraiton.framework to the Xcode project ("General") settings and was able to get a successful build.
