Notes on how the precompiled binaries were constructed

Linux

• On the www.fossil-scm.org server in the /home/www/fossil/b2 directory
• fossil clean -f
• ./configure --static
• Edit Makefile. Change "-O2" to "-Os -m32"
• make
• strip fossil

The SSL libraries for the 64-bit Ubuntu machine above were set up using:

• apt-get install openssl libssl-dev libssl-dev:i386

OpenBSD

• On the devio.us machine in the ~/fossil/m1 directory
• fossil clean -x
• ./configure
• make
• strip fossil

Windows

• Use MinGW instead of MSVC for windows builds since the resulting binary has fewer kernel.dll dependencies and works with older versions of windows such as XP.
• On the Samsung i9 (Windows8) in a MinGW shell in ~/fossil/m1
• fossil clean -x
• make -f win/makefile.mingw FOSSIL_ENABLE_SSL=1 OPENSSLDIR=../../openssl-1.0.0l

Mac

• On the machine "imac" (MacOS 10.6.8, x64) in the ~/fossil/m1 directory
• fossil clean -f
• ./configure
• Edit Makefile. Change "-O2" to "-Os -m32"
• make
• strip fossil
