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 privoxyosx_setup_3.0.3.zip. Remember where you put this file. 3) Acquire and install your preferred version of tor via "make dist-osx" Details: ### Compiling libevent 1) Download the latest 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". 4) If you have previouslly installed libevent, go rm the old libevent.so* files so the linker doesn't get suckered into using them. ### Acquiring privoxy 1) Download osx privoxy source from http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/ijbswa/privoxyosx_setup_3.0.3.zip?download 2) Edit /path/to/tor/contrib/osx/package.sh and confirm PRIVOXY_PKG_ZIP= is set to the correct path to find the file privoxyosx_setup_3.0.3.zip ## Compiling Tor 1) Get your preferred version of the tor source from tor.eff.org. 2) In the top level, this means /path/to/tor/, not tor/contrib/osx, do a configure with these parameters: configure --prefix=/Library/Tor --bindir=/Library/Tor \ --sysconfdir=/Library --enable-static --disable-shared 3) In same top level dir, do a "make dist-osx". There now exists a .dmg file in the same directory. Install from this dmg. ## Universal Binaries for OSX PPC and X86 1) Install XCode 2.4 updates available from http://developer.apple.com. 2) Download latest libevent from http://www.monkey.org/~provos/libevent/ 3) The first step of compiling libevent is to configure it as follows: CFLAGS="-O -g -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 3) Complete the "make" and "make install". You will need to be root, or sudo -s, to complete the "make install". 4) If you have previouslly installed libevent, rm the old libevent.*, located by default, in /usr/local/lib/. 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 tor.eff.org. 7) In the top level, this means /path/to/tor/, not tor/contrib/osx, do a configure with these parameters: CFLAGS="-O -g -isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk -arch i386 -arch ppc" \ LDFLAGS="-Wl,-syslibroot,/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk" \ configure --prefix=/Library/Tor --bindir=/Library/Tor \ --sysconfdir=/Library --enable-static --disable-shared \ --disable-dependency-tracking 8) "make dist-osx" 9) Confirm you have created a universal binary by issuing the follow command: file src/or/tor 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 Congrats. You have a universal binary.
