Requirements:
-------------
1. Xcode 9 or above (for the compiler and build tools)
2. A version of Qt 5 or 6. Homebrew, vcpkg, macports, or whatever you prefer. For
example, in HomeBrew...
brew install qt
Note that Qt6 imposes greater Xcode and macOS requirements. Qt6 uses `std::filesystem`, which
is only implemented with a 10.15 or later minimum macOS deployment target.
Building Quackle:
-----------------
Follow the cmake instructions in [README.md](README.md). You can use the Xcode generator
to make an Xcode project if you wish.
Creating the DMG:
---------------------------------
* Set up Xcode with your Mac Developer account, and make sure you
have a Developer ID Application signing certificate installed into
your Keychain.
* In the Xcode settings, set the deployment target to 10.9 (earlier versions
don't appear to work with C++11).
* Create an Archive build using XCode.
* From the Archive interface, click Validate... and validate for a Developer
ID-signed Application. If you have a signing profile, this validation
should work.
* Click Export... and export as a Mac Application.
* You now have an unsigned application which is missing Qt frameworks, but
will work locally.
* From the Qt4 distribution, run 'macdeployqt Quackle.app'.
* But, it turns out that the Frameworks installed by macdeployqt are partly
broken and can't be code-signed. So, remove the Frameworks directory, clone
https://github.com/jfultz/MacQt4Frameworks.git
and cp -R the entire Frameworks directory into Quackle.app/Contents.
* Run 'codesign -s <identity> --force --deep Quackle.app' where <identity>
is the SHA1 of your certificate (if you open it in Keychain and scroll all
the way to the bottom, you'l see it...but you'll have to strip the spaces).
* Verify code-signing with
spctl --assess --type execute --verbose Quackle.app
* Package it up in a .dmg. I used the *very* nice package create-dmg off of
Github with the following command-line:
create-dmg --app-drop-link 400 100 --icon Quackle.app 100 100 \
--window-size 500 250 --background DmgBackground.png Quackle.dmg Quackle.app
