Notes on how build and upload the precompiled binaries

Download Page

• Run "fossil uv edit download.js" to modify the "releases" variable in the javascript to add the new release number and title and various hyperlinks.
• Run "fossil uv sync" to propagate the changes from the previous step.

Linux

• On the machine named "bella", cd to ~/fossil/static
• rm -rf *
• ../m1/configure --static --disable-fusefs
• # Edit the Makefile to move -ldl to the end
• make
• strip fossil
• tar czf fossil-linux-x64-$VERSION.tar.gz fossil

  OR:

• 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/local/fossil
• tar czf fossil-linux-x64-$VERSION.tar.gz fossil

Windows

• Use MinGW instead of MSVC for windows builds since the resulting binary has fewer kernel.dll dependencies and works with older versions of windows such as XP → Does this argument still apply in late 2019? Can we start deliverying only 64-bit binaries for Windows now?
• On the Lenovo Yoga (Windows10) in a MinGW shell in ~/fossil/m1
• fossil clean -x
• make -f win/makefile.mingw FOSSIL_ENABLE_SSL=1 OPENSSLDIR=../../openssl-1.0.0l
• OR: tclsh ../mkfossil.tcl
• zip fossil-w32-$VERSION.zip fossil.exe
• Visit https://submit.symantec.com/whitelist/isv/ to submit the new binary for whitelisting. → On 2018-05-04 this link reported that the whitelisting service is no longer available.

Windows-64

• Compile OpenSSL-1.1.1d. (See below)
• Get a "x64 Native Tools Command Prompt" window.
• Cd to the win/ subfolder of the Fossil source tree.
• Edit Makefile.msc to make SSLDIR point to the top-level directory for the OpenSSL build.
• Run: nmake /f Makefile.msc FOSSIL_ENABLE_SSL=1 clean fossil.exe
• Run: zip fossil-w64-$VERSION.zip fossil.exe

Mac

• On 2015 MacPro in the ~/fossil/m1 directory
• fossil clean -f
• ./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
• make
• # Verify dependencies using: otool -L ./fossil
• strip fossil
• tar czf fossil-macosx-$VERSION.tar.gz fossil

Source Tarball

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

Building OpenSSL 1.1.1 On Windows

• Download and unpack the tarball
• Install Strawberry perl
• Get a "x64 Native Tools Command Prompt"
• CD to the OpenSSL source directory
• Run: c:/strawberry/perl/bin/perl Configure VC-WIN64A no-asm no-ssl3 no-weak-ssl-ciphers no-shared
• Run: nmake /f makefile
