First +ensure the DMG file is in the current directory, and then run the script. You +may wish to delete the `intermediate 5.hfs` file and `MacOSX10.11.sdk` (the +directory) when you've confirmed the extraction succeeded. + +```bash +apt-get install p7zip-full sleuthkit +contrib/macdeploy/extract-osx-sdk.sh +rm -rf 5.hfs MacOSX10.11.sdk +``` + +## Deterministic macOS DMG Notes +Working macOS DMGs are created in Linux by combining a recent `clang`, the Apple +`binutils` (`ld`, `ar`, etc) and DMG authoring tools. + +Apple uses `clang` extensively for development and has upstreamed the necessary +functionality so that a vanilla clang can take advantage. It supports the use of `-F`, +`-target`, `-mmacosx-version-min`, and `--sysroot`, which are all necessary when +building for macOS. + +Apple's version of `binutils` (called `cctools`) contains lots of functionality missing in the +FSF's `binutils`. In addition to extra linker options for frameworks and sysroots, several +other tools are needed as well such as `install_name_tool`, `lipo`, and `nmedit`. These +do not build under Linux, so they have been patched to do so. The work here was used as +a starting point: [mingwandroid/toolchain4](https://github.com/mingwandroid/toolchain4). + +In order to build a working toolchain, the following source packages are needed from +Apple: `cctools`, `dyld`, and `ld64`. + +These tools inject timestamps by default, which produce non-deterministic binaries. The +`ZERO_AR_DATE` environment variable is used to disable that. + +This version of `cctools` has been patched to use the current version of `clang`'s headers +and its `libLTO.so` rather than those from `llvmgcc`, as it was originally done in `toolchain4`. + +To complicate things further, all builds must target an Apple SDK. These SDKs are free to +download, but not redistributable. To obtain it, register for an Apple Developer Account, +then download [Xcode 10.2.1](https://download.developer.apple.com/Developer_Tools/Xcode_10.2.1/Xcode_10.2.1.xip). + +This file is many gigabytes in size, but most (but not all) of what we need is +contained only in a single directory: + +```bash +Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.14.sdk +``` + +See the SDK Extraction notes above for how to obtain it. + +The Gitian descriptors build 2 sets of files: Linux tools, then Apple binaries which are +created using these tools. The build process has been designed to avoid including the +SDK's files in Gitian's outputs. All interim tarballs are fully deterministic and may be freely +redistributed. + +`genisoimage` is used to create the initial DMG. It is not deterministic as-is, so it has been +patched. A system `genisoimage` will work fine, but it will not be deterministic because +the file-order will change between invocations. The patch can be seen here: [cdrkit-deterministic.patch](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/depends/patches/native_cdrkit/cdrkit-deterministic.patch). +No effort was made to fix this cleanly, so it likely leaks memory badly, however it's only used for +a single invocation, so that's no real concern. + +`genisoimage` cannot compress DMGs, so afterwards, the DMG tool from the +`libdmg-hfsplus` project is used to compress it. There are several bugs in this tool and its +maintainer has seemingly abandoned the project. + +The DMG tool has the ability to create DMGs from scratch as well, but this functionality is +broken. Only the compression feature is currently used. Ideally, the creation could be fixed +and `genisoimage` would no longer be necessary. + +Background images and other features can be added to DMG files by inserting a +`.DS_Store` before creation. This is generated by the script `contrib/macdeploy/custom_dsstore.py`. + +As of OS X 10.9 Mavericks, using an Apple-blessed key to sign binaries is a requirement in +order to satisfy the new Gatekeeper requirements. Because this private key cannot be +shared, we'll have to be a bit creative in order for the build process to remain somewhat +deterministic. Here's how it works: + +- Builders use Gitian to create an unsigned release. This outputs an unsigned DMG which + users may choose to bless and run. It also outputs an unsigned app structure in the form + of a tarball, which also contains all of the tools that have been previously (deterministically) + built in order to create a final DMG. +- The Apple keyholder uses this unsigned app to create a detached signature, using the + script that is also included there. Detached signatures are available from this [repository](https://github.com/bitcoin-core/bitcoin-detached-sigs). +- Builders feed the unsigned app + detached signature back into Gitian. It uses the + pre-built tools to recombine the pieces into a deterministic DMG. |
