<h1>Notes on how build and upload the precompiled binaries</h1>

<h2>Download Page</h2>
<ul>
<li>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.
<li>Run "fossil uv sync" to propagate the changes from the previous step.
</ul>

<h2>Linux</h2>
<ul>
<li>On the machine named "bella", cd to
<li>rm -rf *</li>
--static --disable-fusefs</li>
<li># Edit the Makefile to move -ldl to the end
<li>make</li>
<li>strip fossil</li>
<li>tar czf fossil-linux-x64-$VERSION.tar.gz fossil
<p><b>OR:</b>
<li>Log into
<li>cd to
<li>Run the script ./rebuild.sh
<li>Logout
<li>Download the file
<li>tar czf fossil-linux-x64-$VERSION.tar.gz fossil
</ul>

<h2>Windows</h2>
<ul>
<li>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 &rarr; Does this argument still apply in late 2019?  Can we start deliverying only 64-bit binaries for Windows now?</li>
<li>On the Lenovo Yoga (Windows10) in a MinGW shell in
<li>fossil clean -x</li>
<li>make -f win/makefile.mingw FOSSIL_ENABLE_SSL=1

<li><b>OR:</b> tclsh ../mkfossil.tcl
<li>zip fossil-w32-$VERSION.zip fossil.exe
<li>Visit to submit the new
    binary for whitelisting. &rarr; On 2018-05-04 this link reported that
    the whitelisting service is no longer available.
</ul>

<h2>Windows-64</h2>
<ul>
<li>Compile OpenSSL-1.1.1d.  (See below)
<li>Get a "x64 Native Tools Command Prompt" window.
<li>Cd to the win/ subfolder of the Fossil source tree.
<li>Edit Makefile.msc to make SSLDIR point to the top-level directory
    for the OpenSSL build.
<li>Run: nmake /f Makefile.msc FOSSIL_ENABLE_SSL=1 clean fossil.exe
<li>Run: zip fossil-w64-$VERSION.zip fossil.exe
</ul>

<h2>Mac</h2>
<ul>
<li>On 2015 MacPro in the directory</li>
<li>fossil clean -f</li>

<li># Edit the Makefile to specify
and in place of
    -lcrypto and -lssl, and to add -liconv at the end
<li>make</li>
<li># Verify dependencies using:  otool -L ./fossil
<li>strip fossil</li>
<li>tar czf fossil-macosx-$VERSION.tar.gz fossil
</ul>

<h2>Source Tarball</h2>
<ul>
<li>fossil tarball --name fossil-$VERSION version-$VERSION
fossil-src-$VERSION.tar.gz<br>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
</ul>

<li> Install Strawberry perl
<li> Get a "x64 Native Tools Command Prompt"
<li> CD to the OpenSSL source directory
<li> Run: Configure VC-WIN64A no-asm no-ssl3 no-weak-ssl-ciphers no-shared
