How to build the iOS app:
|
|
|
|
1) First you need to build the LibreOffice core code for iOS. Put in
|
|
your autogen.input something like this:
|
|
|
|
--enable-debug
|
|
--enable-dbgutil
|
|
--enable-werror
|
|
--with-distro=LibreOfficeiOS
|
|
|
|
and build "normally". (Naturally, no unit tests will be run when
|
|
cross-compiling LibreOffice.) Of course there is no requirement to use
|
|
those --enable options; as a minimum, just
|
|
--with-distro=LibreOfficeiOS should work.
|
|
|
|
This will produce a large number of static archives (.a) here and
|
|
there in instdir and workdir, but no app that can be run as such. (You
|
|
can see a list of them in
|
|
workdir/CustomTarget/ios/ios-all-static-libs.list)
|
|
|
|
2) Do a separate clone of the online repo on macOS, but don't run any
|
|
make or open the Mobile project there yet.
|
|
|
|
3) Do a separate clone of the online repo on Linux, run autogen.sh,
|
|
and configure it with the --enable-iosapp option:
|
|
|
|
./configure --enable-iosapp --with-iosapp-name="My Own Mobile LibreOffice"
|
|
|
|
Then run make. That will produce files in loleaflet/dist, nothing
|
|
else. Copy those to the corresponding folder in the online clone
|
|
from step 2. This is what I do:
|
|
|
|
make clean && make && tar cf - loleaflet/dist | ssh misan.local 'cd lo/online-ios-device && tar xvf -'
|
|
|
|
where misan.local is the macOS machine where I build the app, in the
|
|
~lo/online-ios-device folder.
|
|
|
|
4) In the online folder form step 2, edit the
|
|
ios/Mobile.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj file in your favourite text
|
|
editor.
|
|
|
|
Change LOSRCDIR and all instances of "../ios-device" to refer the the
|
|
LibreOffice core source directory from step 1.
|
|
|
|
Then run:
|
|
|
|
./autogen.sh
|
|
|
|
and
|
|
|
|
./configure --enable-iosapp --with-iosapp-name="My Own Mobile LibreOffice" --with-lo-builddir=$HOME/lo/ios --with-poco-includes=/opt/ios-poco/include --with-poco-libs=/opt/ios-poco/lib
|
|
|
|
The configure script puts the app name as the CFBundleDisplayName
|
|
property into the ios/Mobile/Info.plist file, and set up some
|
|
symbolic links that point to the LIbreOffice core source and build
|
|
directories (which can be the same, of course).
|
|
|
|
4) Now you can open the Mobile Xcode project, build it, and run it.
