To do this we use a modified gitx_askpasswd to ask for sudo permissions during build.
Modifications to gitx_askpasswd include:
- Ability to specify the dialog info text (or title) via STDIN or a GITX_ASKPASSWD_DIALOG_TITLE env variable.
Install.sh uses the env var in 'sudo -A -E' to kindly request the password.
The point of this is to provide a sensible title which lets the user/dev know why he has to enter his password in a dialog that is obviously not from Mac OS X.
Install.sh will now also create the folder hierarchy needed for the install paths set in Install.xcconfig using 'sudo -A -E' if neccessary (if the folders don't exist).
Since xcconfigs can include other configs you get the same functionality that Xcode's
build settings give you but with much more clarity. And it's much better for SCM,
especially decentralized ones like git.
Changes:
- Archs is set to ppc i386 x86_64
- libgit2 is now compiled including -arch x86_64.
- LTO is off (caused a Rel32 address space error when linking)
- Default compiler is now LLVM GCC4.2 since Clang is not quite ready for Objective C++.
(and we have some .mm files in there)
- Based on: settings on Xcode's build settings dialogs are set according to the name
of the xcconfig file. (project settings are based on Common.xcconfig)
- Deleted all the overwritten settings (bold font display) that are now defined through
the xcconfigs.
Change default compiler to Clang v1.0 for up to 40% compile and runtime
speed increase.
Improve control over install location through user scripts and config
files.
