This document explains how to build PasswordSafe on Mac OS X. It
is organized in these sections
1. Requirements
2. Get PasswordSafe Sources
3. wxWidgets
3.1 Downloading wxWidgets sources
3.2 Which version of wxWidgets?
3.3 Building wxWidgets for pwsafe
3.4 Point Xcode to your wxWidgets build
4. Build PassswordSafe
4.1 Debug and Release configs
4.2 Where is pwsafe.app?
1. REQUIREMENTS
===============
1.1 Xcode
1.2 wxWidgets
1.3 Perl
1.1 Xcode
---------
Xcode is free and is included with the OS X installation CD. If you don't have the CD,
you can probably download Xcode from Apple's website. You will also need the
"Command-Line Tools for Xcode".
The Xcode directory in PasswordSafe sources contains the Xcode project file for building it.
pwsafe code now uses C++14 features, and therefore requires a modern-enough compiler (Xcode6).
Also, the minimum deployment target is now OS X 10.7.
1.2 wxWidgets
-------------
wxWidgets is the cross-platform UI toolkit pwsafe uses for user-interface. You'd need to
download the latest sources from wxWidgets.org and build it (instructions below). This is
the most time-consuming part of building pwsafe.
1.3 Perl
--------
pwsafe uses perl for some small build tasks. OS X already ships with Perl, which should
suffice.
2. GET PASSWORDSAFE SOURCES
===========================
You need to get the Passwordsafe source code (obviously).
Either download from the website:
https://github.com/pwsafe/pwsafe/archive/master.zip
or clone the git repository:
git clone https://github.com/pwsafe/pwsafe.git
3. wxWidgets
============
wxWidgets is the UI toolkit used by pwsafe for user-interface. On OS X, you will have
to download and build this before you can build pwsafe.
3.1 Downloading the sources
---------------------------
I recommend you download the tarball from wxWidgets download site
https://www.wxwidgets.org/downloads/
Click the link named "Source for Linux, OS X, etc". It should get you a .tar.bz2
or a .tar.gz file. DO NOT get the .7z version. That has sources with DOS CRLF
and won't build on OS X. Also, I have found some (may be irrelevant) inconsistencies
between the sources checked out from their repository at a particular branch/tag, and
the tarball. My recommendation is to use the tarball. That's what I always do on OS X.
3.2 Which version of wxWidgets?
-------------------------------
Use wxWidgets 3.0.2 or newer. pwsafe code is no longer compatible with older
versions of wxWidgets.
3.3 Building wxWidgets for pwsafe
---------------------------------
pwsafe uses wxWidgets as the cross-platform toolkit for its UI. To build pwsafe, you
need to build wxWidgets first, in a way that is compatible with pwsafe's project settings.
The Misc directory in pwsafe sources has a script called "osx-build-wx" which does exactly
that. It basically runs the wxWidgets "configure" script in a way that the wxWidgets build
will happen with settings that are compatible with pwsafe's project settings, while retaining
the ability to run on older versions of OS X as far back as possible. It is possible that
pwsafe built with such a build of wxWidgets will run on OS X 10.7, but it has not been verified.
You can pass it the "-n" option to show what parameters it's passing to configure.
osx-build-wx has to be run from your build directory. Say, if you have wxWidgets sources
in "wx3", then do
wx3 $ mkdir static-debug
wx3 $ cd static-debug
wx3/static-debug $ <path-to-pwsafe's osx-build-wx> -d
wx3/static-debug $ make
That would build the Debug configuration of wxWidgets in wx3/static-debug. It would generate
static libraries of wxWidgets with universal binaries for i386 and x86_64 in static-debug/lib.
You can do the same thing again, but the directory name should be something like
"static-release", and omit the -d to osx-build-wx to build the Release configuration
Note that osx-build-wx doesn't actually run make: you need to run it yourself.
Also, you DON'T need to run "make install". In fact, even wxWidgets recommends against that.
See this
http://wiki.wxwidgets.org/Compiling_wxWidgets_using_the_command-line_(Terminal)#Why_shouldn.27t_I_run_it.3F
These builds would take some time, so take a coffee break or something :-)
If wxWidgets builds fine but you get weird compilation errors while building pwsafe, try
re-building wxWidgets with the exact same SDK that you are building pwsafe with. You can
get a list of all installed SDKs by running
xcodebuild -showsdks
Then get the path to your exact sdk by running
xcodebuild -version -sdk macosx10.9 Path
Pass that to the build script with the -k option
wx3/static/debug $ <path-to-pwsafe's osx-build-wx> -d -k <path from above>
Or, just pass the command's output directly
wx3/static/debug $ <path-to-pwsafe's osx-build-wx> -d -k `xcodebuild -version -sdk macosx10.9 Path`
3.4 Point Xcode to your wxWidgets build
---------------------------------------
When Xcode tries to build pwsafe, it won't find the wxWidgets libraries you just built,
because Xcode has no idea where they are. You need to generate "xcconfig" files to tell
Xcode to look into your "static-debug" and "static-release" directories for wxWidgets'
headers/libs.
Go to the Xcode directory in pwsafe sources, and do these
./generate-configs -d [full-path-to-your-static-debug/wx-config] > pwsafe-debug.xcconfig
./generate-configs -r [full-path-to-your-static-release/wx-config] > pwsafe-release.xcconfig
4. Building pwsafe
==================
If you have come this far, you only need to launch Xcode, load the pwsafe project
file, and hit 'Cmd-B'. But pwsafe has 3 different project files. Which one do
you use?
4.1 Debug and Release configs
-----------------------------
You need to decide whether to build the Debug or Release configuration of
pwsafe. Apple has changed the way we (or at least I) used to view Debug and
Release configurations of a software. Select "pwsafe" or "pwsafe-debug" from Product
Menu => Scheme to select Release or Debug configuration respectively. And, if you are
building pwsafe for just yourself, see that the architecture in Product Menu => Destination
matches your Mac's architecture.
At this point, just hitting Cmd-B or click Product Menu => Build to build pwsafe.
4.2 Where is pwsafe.app?
------------------------
In Xcode/build/Debug or Xcode/build/Release directories, depending
on the configuration you built.
