Vincent,
Thanks for looking into these issues. The .dmg build environment on OS X
has changed a bit, and I'm not sure it's entirely documented, so I'll do my
best to describe it here.
The previous build used py2app and Macports and is described in
zenmap/install_scripts/macosx/README . We had repeated problems with this
system due to the need to maintain patches to remove troublesome
dependencies (iconv) that made it hard to build a cross-version package. It
seems like every release had at least a couple of bugs due to hard-coded
paths, changing directory structure, or dependency issues.
For the 7.01 release, I made this changelog entry:
> Switch to using gtk-mac-bundler and jhbuild for building the OS X
installer. This promises to reduce a lot of the problems we've had with
local paths and dependencies using the py2app and macports build system.
[Daniel Miller]
The files involved in this build system are:
* macosx/openssl.modules - a jhbuild moduleset defining how to fetch and
build OpenSSL.
* zenmap/install_scripts/macosx/zenmap.bundle - the gtk-mac-bundler
definition file for the Zenmap bundle.
* zenmap/install_scripts/macosx/launcher.sh - The launcher script that sets
up the environment for the Zenmap app
* zenmap/install_scripts/macosx/make-bundle.sh - the script called by the
macosx/Makefile to build the zenmap App bundle.
We still have to use Macports for libapr and libsvn used for nmap-update,
but since nobody uses or can use that system in its current state, it's not
really a problem.
Now we come to the part that I didn't document well. I think this is the
basic sequence:
curl https://git.gnome.org/browse/gtk-osx/plain/gtk-osx-build-setup.sh | sh
~/.local/bin/jhbuild shell
jhbuild build python
jhbuild bootstrap
jhbuild build meta-gtk-osx-bootstrap
jhbuild build meta-gtk-osx-core
jhbuild build meta-gtk-osx-python
jhbuild -m macosx/openssl.modules build openssl
cd macosx
make
The Macports process in the README file is still needed to build libapr and
libsvn, but you have to be sure that macports is *not* in your path when
you go to build the package with "make."
