View source for Building a native (no X11) MacOSX binary

This is work in progress. 

== Getting a native gtk ==
A lot of information can be found here: https://www.gtk.org/docs/installations/macos/

First follow the Quick start as described here:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk-osx/-/wikis/home#quick-start
follow the instructions to get the gtk core up and running
 $ ./gtk-osx-setup.sh 
 $ jhbuild bootstrap-gtk-osx
 $ jhbuild build meta-gtk-osx-bootstrap meta-gtk-osx-python meta-gtk-osx-gtk3

find help on https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk-mac-integration/

For full functionality also install some other related packages:

 $ jhbuild build  shared-mime-info gnome-icon-theme gtk-engines tango-icon-theme

== Building Bluefish with Makefile.osxapp ==

 jhbuild shell
 ./autogen.sh
 make -j6 -f Makefile.osxapp
 make -j6 -f Makefile.osxapp install
(the -j6 is for a 6core computer)

this creates a Bluefish.app without any libraries, so this will crash on systems that do not have a gtk library installed on the system. 

== Creating a working bundle Bluefish.app ==

The gtk-mac-bundler project can be used to create a bundle with all libraries. The config file macosx/bluefish.bundle should be updated for the latest version of gtk-mac-bundler.

== Build with jhbuild (work in progress, THIS IS NOT YET WORKING) ==

==== Building with a jhbuild configuration ====

a jhbuild section for bluefish looks like this:
--------------------------------
 <repository type="tarball" name="bluefish" href="http://www.bennewitz.com/bluefish/stable/source/"/>
 <autotools id="bluefish">
 <branch module="bluefish-2.0.0.tar.bz2" version="2.0.0" repo="bluefish" md5="ac9b1e8ef6d5691718a0daa6c78d5618" size="3287346"/>
 <dependencies>
 <dep package="intltool"/>
 <dep package="gtk+"/>
 <dep package="glib"/>
 <dep package="libxml2"/>
 </dependencies>
 <suggests>
 <dep package="enchant"/>
 <dep package="gucharmap"/>
 </suggests>
 </autotools>
----------------------------------

or a section for SVN:
----------------------------------
 <repository type="svn" name="bluefish-svn" default="yes" href="https://bluefish.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/" />
 <autotools id="bluefish-svn" autogen-sh="./configure" autogenargs="--disable-nls" >
 <branch repo="bluefish-svn" module="bluefish/trunk/bluefish"/>
 <dependencies>
 <dep package="intltool"/>
 <dep package="gtk+"/>
 <dep package="glib"/>
 <dep package="libxml2"/>
 <dep package="ige-mac-integration"/>
 </dependencies>
 <suggests>
 <dep package="enchant"/>
 <dep package="gucharmap"/>
 </suggests>
 </autotools>
--------------------------------------
this section will fail the first time, choose 4 (enter shell), run
 ./autogen.sh
exit and choose 1 (rerun configure)

== Creating a package ==

The quick and dirty way: open an existing Bluefish.dmg, convert it to writable dmg, copy the contents of the newly built Bluefish.app into the dmg, convert it back to compressed.

Some packages that should be installed (with jhbuild) as well:

 shared-mime-info
 meta-gtk-osx-themes 
 gnome-mime-data
 gnome-icon-theme
 gtk-engines
 tango-icon-theme

run the bluefish bundle

create a read-write image, copy Bluefish.app in there
create a symlink in the root to Applications

=== Things To do ===
* add a mime type for clojure
* remove unneeded translations

== Better MacOSX integration ==

in SVN is an initial start. The menubar is now properly integrated in the OSX menu.

what needs to be done:
* open from the Finder
* proper icon
