## Instructions for building the official dmgs for OSX. ## The following steps are the exact steps used to produce the "official" OSX builds of tor. Summary: 1) Compile and install a static version of the latest release of libevent. 2) Acquire and install your preferred version of tor. Extract. 3) "make dist-osx" 4) You now have a dmg from which you can install Tor. ## Universal Binaries for OSX PPC and X86 ## This method works in OSX 10.4 (Tiger) and newer OSX versions. ## See far below if you don't care about cross compiling for PPC and X86. ## The single architecture process starts with "###" 1) Install the latest XCode updates available from http://developer.apple.com. ## Compiling libevent 2) Download latest stable libevent from http://www.monkey.org/~provos/libevent/ 3) The first step of compiling libevent is to configure it as follows: CFLAGS="-O -g -mmacosx-version-min=10.4 -isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk -arch i386 -arch ppc" \ LDFLAGS="-Wl,-syslibroot,/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk" \ ./configure --enable-static --disable-shared --disable-dependency-tracking 4) Complete the "make" and "make install". You will need to be root, or sudo -s, to complete the "make install". 5) Check for a successful universal binary of libevent.a in, by default, /usr/local/lib by using the following command: "file /usr/local/lib/libevent.a" Your output should be: /usr/local/lib/libevent.a: Mach-O fat file with 2 architectures /usr/local/lib/libevent.a (for architecture i386): current ar archive random library /usr/local/lib/libevent.a (for architecture ppc): current ar archive 6) Get your preferred version of the tor source from https://www.torproject.org/download. Extract the tarball. 7) In the top level, this means /path/to/tor/, not tor/contrib/osx, do a configure with these parameters: CFLAGS="-O -g -mmacosx-version-min=10.4 -isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk -arch i386 -arch ppc" \ LDFLAGS="-Wl,-syslibroot,/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk" \ CONFDIR=/Library/Tor \ ./configure --prefix=/Library/Tor --bindir=/Library/Tor \ --sysconfdir=/Library --disable-dependency-tracking 8) "make dist-osx" 9) Confirm you have created a universal binary by issuing the follow command: "file src/or/tor". Its output should be as follows: src/or/tor: Mach-O fat file with 2 architectures src/or/tor (for architecture i386): Mach-O executable i386 src/or/tor (for architecture ppc): Mach-O executable ppc 10) There should exist in the top-level directory a Tor-$VERSION-universal-Bundle.dmg 11) Congrats. You have a universal binary. You are now ready to install Tor. ### Single Architecture Binaries for PPC or X86, not both. ### This method works in all versions of OSX 10.3 through 10.5 ### Compiling libevent 1) Download the latest stable libevent from http://www.monkey.org/~provos/libevent/ 2) The first step of compiling libevent is to configure it as follows: ./configure --enable-static --disable-shared 3) Complete the "make" and "make install". You will need to be root, or sudo -s, to complete the "make install". ### Compiling Tor 4) Get your preferred version of the tor source from https://www.torproject.org. Extract the tarball. 5) In the top level, this means /path/to/tor/, not tor/contrib/osx, do a configure with these parameters: CONFDIR=/Library/Tor ./configure --prefix=/Library/Tor \ --bindir=/Library/Tor --sysconfdir=/Library 6) In same top level dir, do a "make dist-osx". There now exists a .dmg file in the same directory. Install from this dmg.
