macos build with limited localisation

[jongough]

The current build/install process for macos (osx) uses an xml file as input, buildosx/installOSX/squiddio_pi.pkgproj.in, as the base for the build. This file has 5 different language files used and these are defined statically. This file needs to have these entries built at build time to ensure all available files are used. Currently if a file is not available at build time the build will fail.

This should be the next step in the generalisation of the build files, the first step was to add the package_name at build time.

We used to have to edit this file to add the auth-key, plugin name etc is it possible to have variables? --You probably already fixed that.

[jongough]

We can add move variables to the main CMakeLists.txt that can then be used in the PluginPackage.cmake 'configure_file' process. All that needs to happen is for the variables to be added to the '.in' file and it should work. I have done the package name stuff, I presume the auth-key you are talking about are the UUID strings etc. I can make the change for that if you want, but I would need to know the structure of the file and I cannot find a definition of it at the moment.

Jon,

Here is where I think the key is. What is it for?
When trying to compile Tactics for MacOS I recall having to add the travis encryption of my github personal access token, somewhere in this file.

PS: I believe when I had to edit it with my encrypted key to get macOS to build, the key was down around line 1300, this is more towards the top. Has the file changed much?

[rgleason]

I think this can be closed now. This is pretty old.

[jongough]

I haven't been paying attention to this one. As it all seems to be working now I suspect you are correct. So I am closing int.
