Notes on how Fossil precompiled binaries are built and uploaded

Download Page

• fossil uv edit download.js
• Edit the "releases" variable in the javascript to add the new release number and title and various hyperlinks. Perhaps also remove older releases.
• Remove obsolete build products: fossil uv rm $FILETODELETE
• fossil uv sync

Linux

• Set up in-tree OpenSSL:
  • Download the OpenSSL tarball and unpack it into compat/openssl
  • cd into the compat/openssl directory
  • ./config no-ssl3 no-weak-ssl-ciphers no-shared no-threads
  • make
• ./configure --with-openssl=tree --disable-fusefs
• Edit the Makefile to move -lpthread
• CFLAGS="-Os" make -e clean fossil
• strip fossil
• Verify dependencies using "ldd ./fossil"
• tar czf fossil-linux-x64-$VERSION.tar.gz fossil
• fossil uv add fossil-linux-x64-$VERSION.tar.gz
• fossil uv sync

Linux (alternative procedures)

• Log into www.fossil-scm.org
• cd to /home/www/fossil/b1
• Run the script ./rebuild.sh
• Logout
• Download the file www.fossil-scm.org:/home/www/usr/bin/fossil
• strip fossil
• tar czf fossil-linux-x64-$VERSION.tar.gz fossil
• fossil uv add fossil-linux-x64-$VERSION.tar.gz
• fossil uv sync

Raspberry Pi

• ./configure
• Edit Makefile so that instead of -lssl and -lcrypto there are complete paths to the libssl.a and libcrypto.a files.
• CFLAGS="-Os" make -e clean fossil && strip fossil
• tar czf fossil-pi-$VERSION.tar.gz fossil
• fossil uv add fossil-pi-$VERSION.tar.gz
• fossil uv sync

Windows 32-bit using MINGW

• On the Windows 10 laptop in a MinGW shell in ~/fossil/m1
• fossil clean
• make -f win/makefile.mingw FOSSIL_ENABLE_SSL=1 OPENSSLDIR=../../openssl-1.0.1t
• OR: tclsh ../mkfossil.tcl
• Verify dependences: dumpbin /dependents fossil.exe
• zip fossil-w32-$VERSION.zip fossil.exe
• fossil uv add fossil-w32-$VERSION.zip
• fossil uv sync

Windows 64-bit using MSVC

• Run all of the following from a "x64 Native Tools Command Prompt"
• Set up in-tree OpenSSL:
  • Install Strawberry-Perl if it is not already installed
  • Download the OpenSSL tarball and unpack under compat/
  • cd into the OpenSSL source directory
  • c:/strawberry/perl/bin/perl Configure VC-WIN64A no-asm no-ssl3 no-weak-ssl-ciphers no-shared
  • nmake /f makefile
• cd into the win/ subfolder of the Fossil source tree.
• nmake /f Makefile.msc FOSSIL_ENABLE_SSL=1 clean fossil.exe
• Verify dependences: dumpbin /dependents fossil.exe
• zip fossil-w64-$VERSION.zip fossil.exe
• fossil uv add fossil-w64-$VERSION.zip
• fossil uv sync

Mac

• ./configure
• Edit the Makefile to specify /usr/local/opt/openssl/lib/libcrypto.a and /usr/local/opt/openssl/lib/libssl.a in place of -lcrypto and -lssl, and to add -liconv at the end
• CFLAGS="-Os" make -e clean fossil
• Verify no shared library dependencies using: otool -L ./fossil
• strip fossil
• codesign -s drh@sqlite.org fossil
• Verify the signature using: codesign -d -v fossil
• tar czf fossil-macosx-$VERSION.tar.gz fossil
• fossil uv add fossil-macosx-$VERSION.tar.gz
• fossil uv sync

Source Tarball

• fossil tarball --name fossil-$VERSION version-$VERSION fossil-src-$VERSION.tar.gz
