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 
 $ PATH=~/.new_local/bin/:$PATH
 $ jhbuild bootstrap-gtk-osx
 $ jhbuild build meta-gtk-osx-bootstrap meta-gtk-osx-python meta-gtk-osx-gtk3  shared-mime-info enchant

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

== Building Bluefish with Makefile.osxapp ==

for bundling you need https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk-mac-bundler as well. Download it and run ''make install''

 jhbuild shell
 cd /to/your/bluefish/source/path
 ./autogen.sh
 make -j6 -f Makefile.osxapp

(the -j6 is for a 6core computer)

this creates a Bluefish.app on your Desktop

== Creating a working bundle Bluefish.app ==

The gtk-mac-bundler project is used to create a bundle with all libraries, it is called during the above mentioned make command. The config file macosx/bluefish.bundle and macosx/Info.plist should be updated for every version of Bluefish.

== 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
