Build-OpenSSL-cURL

Build OpenSSL and libcurl for OS X, iOS and tvOS with Bitcode enabled for iOS, tvOS. Includes patching for tvOS to not use fork().

Build

The build.sh script calls two build scripts:

OpenSSL

The openssl-build.sh script creates separate bitcode enabled target libraries for:

• Mac - x86-64
• iOS - iPhone (armv7, armv7s, arm64) and iPhoneSimulator (i386, x86-64)
• tvOS - AppleTVOS (arm64) and AppleTVSimulator (x86-64)

The tvOS build has fork() disable as the AppleTV tvOS does not support fork(). Edit openssl-build.sh to change the version of OpenSSL that will be downloaded and built.

cURL / libcurl

The libcurl-build.sh script create separate bitcode enabled targets libraries for:

• Mac - x86-64
• iOS - armv7, armv7s, arm64 and iPhoneSimulator (i386, x86-64)
• tvOS - arm64 and AppleTVSimulator (x86-64)

The curl build uses --with-ssl pointing to the above OpenSSL builds. Edit libcurl-build.sh to change the verion of cURL that will be downloaded and built.

   |____libcurl_Mac.a
   |____libcurl_tvOS.a

Xcode

Xcode7.1b or later is required for the tvOS SDK.

To include the OpenSSL and libcurl libraries in your Xcode projects, import the following appropriate libraries for your project:

• Curl - curl/lib
• OpenSSL - openssl/Mac/lib, openssl/iOS/lib, openssl/tvOS/lib

Usage

1. Do "sh build.sh"

2. Libraries are created in curl/lib, openssl/*/lib

3. Copy libs and headers to your project.

4. Import appropriate "libssl.a", "libcrypto.a", "libcurl.a".

5. Reference Headers, "Headers/openssl", "Headers/curl".

6. Specifying the flag "-lz" in "Other Linker Flags" (OTHER_LDFLAGS) setting in the "Linking" section in the Build settings of the target.

7. To use cURL, see below:

   #include <curl/curl.h>
   
   - (void)foo {    
       CURL* cURL = curl_easy_init();  
       ...  
   }
