Building MacOS Binaries

Setup

Install XCode and its command line tools.

Setup gtk-osx

Download the latest version of the gtk-osx setup script and run it:

git clone https://github.com/Xpra-org/gtk-osx-build
cd gtk-osx-build
sh gtk-osx-setup.sh

This will have installed jhbuild in ~/.new_local/bin, so let's add this to our $PATH:

export PATH=$PATH:~/.new_local/bin/

Configure `jhbuild` to use our modules

ln -sf $(pwd)/gtk-osx-build/jhbuildrc-gtk-osx ~/.config/jhbuildrc
ln -sf $(pwd)/gtk-osx-build/jhbuildrc-custom ~/.config/jhbuildrc-custom

Bootstrap:

jhbuild update
jhbuild bootstrap-gtk-osx

Optional: install pandoc

Build all the libraries

jhbuild build
#some python libraries have to be installed via pip in a jhbuild shell:
jhbuild shell
pip3 install --prefix $JHBUILD_PREFIX packaging
pip3 install --prefix $JHBUILD_PREFIX parsing
pip3 install --prefix $JHBUILD_PREFIX typing_extensions

Build and Package Xpra

git clone https://github.com/Xpra-org/xpra
cd xpra/packaging/MacOS/
sh ./make-app.sh
sh ./make-DMG.sh
sh ./make-PKG.sh

Signing the resulting .app, DMG and PKG images requires setting up certificates.
