Releases of Liana are built in a reproducible manner, providing an assurance the binary a user is going to run corresponds to the sources published. It enables the possibility for the user, or a third party, to audit the code being ran.
For Linux binaries (and hopefully soon for all hosts) we go further and provide bootstrappable builds, where the toolchain used to compile the source code reproducibly is itself built reproducibly from source.
Learn more about reproducible builds here, and bootstrappable builds here.
For instructions on bootstrappable builds of Linux releases, see the guix folder.
You will have to install Nix, a package manager.
We rely on nix flakes, so you may need to activate this feature by setting in your ~/.config/nix/nix.conf:
experimental-features = nix-command flakes
Simply run:
nix build .#x86_64-pc-windows-gnu
Binary will be present in the ./result folder.
First you need get the MacOS SDK. It is required to be able to build the MacOS binaries. The 12_2 version is
required (Xcode_12.2.xip). You need to download it from Apple's website. An Apple ID and cookies
enabled for the hostname are required. You can create one for free. (Note it is illegal to
distribute the archive.) Once logged in you can use the direct
link to download
the archive. Alternatively, go to 'Downloads', then 'More' and search for Xcode 12.2.
The sha256sum of the downloaded XIP archive should be
28d352f8c14a43d9b8a082ac6338dc173cb153f964c6e8fb6ba389e5be528bd0.
Then you have to extract the SDK and add it to the nix store:
nix run github:edouardparis/unxip#unxip -- Xcode_12.2.xip Xcode_12.2
cd Xcode_12.2
nix-store --add-fixed --recursive sha256 Xcode.app
It may take a long time.
Then to compile binaries for new apple CPUs:
nix build .#aarch64-apple-darwin
Or for legacy CPUs:
nix build .#x86_64-apple-darwin
Binaries will be present in the ./result folder.
