APPSTORE_COMPLIANT = ON:
- Turns off the File menu and moves the language selector to
the "Extra" Menu. "Options" and "Exit" are at the xca-macos
special-menu anyway.
- Switches the signing key from "Developer ID Application" to
"3rd Party Mac Developer Application"
- Sets the database name to "default.xdb"
- Adds "-appstore-compliant" option to macdeployqt
- Picks the "entitlement-appstore-compliant.plist"
- Disables the "Token" menu and "PKCS#11 provider" tab
in the option dialog
XCA now supports both, Qt6 and Qt5 down to Qt-5.2
Use CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH to point to the QT dompiler directory like
$ cmake -B build -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=$HOME/6.3.1/gcc_64
Enabling Library Validation Entitlement is only good if an application
does not load any libraries other than its own
xca works by loading external pkcs11 libraries, written and signed by others.
Also apply for smartcard usage.
in my msi installation of openssl, the DLL were also installed
in the toplevel directory, which is unusual.
However, they are always also found in bin/
The long list of translations and html documentation
pages is now auto-generated by the cmake files,
which know the translations and html files. (DRY)
TODO: Windows SQL drivers for mysql and psql
Rename XCA_SPECIAL to XCA_ARGUMENTS, which is less generic.
and change %1_OPTIONS to XCA_%1_OPTIONS to prefix all
XCA related environment variables with "XCA_".
Why?
- QT will switch from qmake to cmake sooner or later.
- autotools are good for unix-ish systems, cmake also for
macOS and Xcode as well as Windows and VS-code
- Cross compiling the windows-binaries on linux
is not very helpful to attract windows-centric
developers.
Also drop qmake's xca.pro
Generate man-page and sphinx sources of commandline arguments
during build by executing xca (xcadoc.cpp).
Generating Version-patchlevel and git hash is now also
OS independent.
git.release.something ->
Create any git release with a tag to test package (debian/rpm) build
git.release -> Create required changes and tags for the next release
git.publish -> Finalize the release (github release)
gen-binary-hash / binary-hashes.json -> keep track of release hashes
For an official release XCA_VERSION == PACKAGE_VERSION.
For any additional commit, XCA_VERSION's path-level is increased.
PACKAGE_VERSION cannot be modified after initially set.
Change any occurance of PACKAGE_VERSION by XCA_VERSION
Write the Release to LSMinimumSystemVersion
Pick the macos animal-name and add it as extra version
Re-add building OpenSSL and libtool with the correct macos SDK version.
Now after having called build-mac.sh script, building with "make"
in the xca-macbuild dir works as expected.
