Code-sign command-line executables, add info.plist file with identifier to boinccmd, package as DMG instead of Zip so Apple will "notarize" it.
Set minimum MacOS version to OS 10.9 to eliminate most warnings from Xcode version 12.2.
Fix a problem running BOINC screensaver on MacOS 11 Big Sur when built with Xcode version earlier than Xcode 11.
CAUTION #1: I don't have arm64 macintosh hardware so this has been tested only on an x86_64 system.
CAUTION #2: This was developed on MacOS 11.0 beta 3 and Xcode 12.0 beta 2, not final release builds
CAUTION #3: At this time OpenSSL does not yet provide a way to build for MacOS with arm64 architecture, so I implemented a temporary workaround, which may or may not work properly on arm64 Macs.
The client shows what kind of operating system it has detected in startup log message and elsewhere. This is confusing and not helping in troubleshooting when people expect these messages to describe the client itself.
Change the messages to use client's build platform instead.
Startup log message, output of --version and user agent string should be safe to change without breaking anything. The client still uses OS platform in various places but changing these would break stuff:
- Scheduler request XML. Scheduler expects scheduler_request.platform_name to be OS primary platform.
- client_state.xml. Client writes OS primary platform and alt platforms separately to client_state.xml. The client reads primary platform only to see if it has changed. The client doesn't read alt platforms but some other program might and depends on the platforms being as they are now. Not changing this means the client won't be able to detect when its own platform has changed. OS platform changes are still detected.
- get_state GUI RPC. The client writes primary platform to client_state.platform_name and all platforms, including primary, to client_state.platform. BOINC Manager only reads client_state.platform. As such, client_state.platform_name could be changed to client's build platform but some 3rd party manager might depend on it being OS primary platform.
- time_stats_log. The client writes platform info there. Unclear who uses that information.
Closes#2386.
Allows fixing and cleaning up per-thread locale support in Manager and
libboinc.
locale.h and xlocale.h were checked for libboinc_graphics. Move
xlocale.h check to correct place and remove locale.h check. locale.h has
been part of C standard library since C89.
The support for per-thread locales cannot be reliably inferred from the
existence of different headers. Some systems declare uselocale() in
locale.h, others in xlocale.h and xlocale.h is no longer included in GNU
libc. Instead explicitly check for uselocale() and
_configthreadlocale().
Add uselocale() check result to Mac config.h so that the #ifdef mazes
can be simplified.
Also correct quoting in AC_CHECK_FUNCS and AC_CHECK_HEADERS calls.
Note also that Apple has deprecated the UNIX standard call system(const char *) as ofd OS 10.10 and says to use posix_spawn() calls instead. I have added a macro to the precompiled header MacGUI.pch for the Manager builds that converts the calls automatically, but have not been able to do so for the other BOINC modules. If future code in the client, libraries, etc. calls system(), this will have to be handled on a case by case basis, as I have done in boinc_rename_aux() in lib/filesys.cpp and CLIENT_STATE::write_state_file() in client/cs_statefile.cpp.
