Create brew tap & formula to ease self building the app. #102

Looking forward to being able to install via brew!

jasonm23 commented 3 years ago

Thank you, I really need people who can help test the steps.

If you clone the repo on your Mac and run...

cd CutBox
bin/setup
bin/build_local_app

it should compile or throw an error...

When it's finished compilation it should open a Finder window for you to copy the app to /Applications

Let me know if you can try and how you go.

Once I've verified steps work on an unpredictable Macos environment I can push to a brew formula with more confidence.

Hello. First of all, thank you for this app and your effort to ease the compile process for us!

I'm having trouble compiling this app. Cloned repo (including submodules, just in case), cd CutBox, bin/setup and lastly bin/build_local_app which fails:

➜  CutBox git:(master) ✗ bin/build_local_app
Command line invocation:
    /Applications/Xcode-12.4.0.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/xcodebuild -workspace CutBox/CutBox.xcworkspace -scheme CutBox archive

You can see whole build log on this gist.

Do you have any info how to fix the build? Any help is appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Hmmm let me try it... I may have screwed something up while cleaning.

jasonm23 commented 3 years ago

Ok, @EnilPajic give it a git pull and you should be good.

EnilPajic commented 3 years ago

@jasonm23, it works now! Thank you very much!

jasonm23 commented 3 years ago

Awesome, thank you so much for testing it.

Hi!

I got the build working, but ran into some trouble on the way. At first I got a Finder window with only a shortcut to Applications, but no app. The Terminal had no errors, just a warning: xcode-select: error: tool 'xcodebuild' requires Xcode, but active developer directory '/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools' is a command line tools instance So I got Xcode from the AppStore, ran sudo xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer and tried again. This time it was working fine, and got the app as well the shortcut in CUTBOX_BUILD. Copied it over, everything seems to work fine.

Just wanted to add there's another open source Clipboard Manager app on Github called Maccy that also has a Brew Cask install option, that I think might be a good reference for this task.

jasonm23 commented 2 years ago

Thank you! I'll check it out

I've now setup a cask tap for cutbox. To install:

brew tap cutbox/cutbox
brew install --cask cutbox

You will need to do the "malicious" software dance, and tell Macos to open anyway in security settings > general.

For permissions, make sure to add the new CutBox.app to Security > Privacy > Accessibility and Security > Privacy > Key Monitoring - do this while CutBox isn't running, it generally doesn't work otherwise.

It's also easier to compile and build yourself. 

git clone git@github.com:cutbox/CutBox

gem install cocoapods
cd CutBox
pod install
cd ..

bin/build

The app will be compiled to ${gitroot}/CutBox/build/CutBox.app. (gitroot being where you cloned the repo).

FYI 1.4.18 also added user custom themes, see the wiki https://github.com/cutbox/CutBox/wiki/Color-themes

jasonm23 commented 2 years ago

Brew formula added to the cutbox tap.

To test it try the following.

brew tap cutbox/cutbox
brew update
brew install --formula cutbox

It should show required installation instructions.

Please try it out and report problems here. Thank you.

jasonm23 commented 2 years ago

Because Maccy is a Cask that'll make it the same as downloading a dmg.

Btw I noticed that since Big Sur it's possible to enter security preferences and click Allow Anyway to open and use CutBox.
