Setup your Keyman build environment on macOS
This document describes prerequisites and tools required for building various Keyman projects on macOS. Each project will also have additional notes linked below.
Target Projects
On macOS, you can build the following projects:
- Keyman for Android (additional details)
- Keyman for iOS (additional details)
- Keyman for macOS (additional details)
- KeymanWeb (additional details)
The following libraries can also be built:
- core (macOS, wasm targets)
- Common/Web
The following projects cannot be built on macOS:
- Keyman for Linux
- Keyman for Windows
- Keyman Developer
System Requirements
- Minimum macOS version: macOS Catalina 10.15 or Big Sur 11.0
Note: to make a fully M1-compatible release build of Keyman for macOS (for the setup Applescript), Big Sur 11.0 is required, as osacompile on earlier versions does not build for arm64 (M1). The build will still work on earlier versions, but the installer won't be able to run on M1 Macs that do not have Rosetta 2 installed.
Prerequisites
Many dependencies are only required for specific projects.
- XCode (iOS, macOS) 12.4 or later
- Install from App Store
- Accept the Xcode license:
sudo xcodebuild -license accept
The remaining dependencies can be installed via script:
resources/devbox/macos/macos.sh
This script will also update your environment to the values in:
resources/devbox/macos/keyman.macos.env.sh
It will also add these environment settings to your ~/.bashrc.
These dependencies are also listed below if you'd prefer to install manually.
Shared Dependencies
-
Shared: HomeBrew, Bash 5.0+, jq, Python 2.7, Python 3, Meson, Ninja, coreutils, Pandoc
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)" brew install bash jq python3 meson ninja coreutils pandoc pyenv # Python 2.7 required for DeviceKit (among others?) at present pyenv install 2.7.18 pyenv global 2.7.18 echo 'eval "$(pyenv init --path)"' >> ~/.bash_profileOn M1 only (as greadlink is not on the path otherwise in XCode):
sudo ln -s /opt/homebrew/bin/greadlink /usr/local/bin/greadlink -
Web: node.js, emscripten, openjdk 8
brew install node emscripten openjdk@8Note: if you install emscripten with brew on macOS, only emscripten binaries are added to the path via symlinks. This makes it reasonably safe to have emscripten on the path, unlike on other platforms where emscripten also ends up adding its versions of node, python, and other binaries to the path.
-
iOS: swiftlint, carthage
brew install swiftlint carthage -
macOS: carthage, cocoapods
brew install carthage cocoapods -
Android: openjdk 8, Android SDK, Android Studio, Ant, Gradle, Maven
brew install openjdk@8 android-sdk android-studio ant gradle maven # update path source ../resources/devbox/macos/keyman.macos.env.sh # optionally install sdk images sdkmanager "system-images;android-30;google_apis;armeabi-v7a" sdkmanager --update sdkmanager --licenses -
kmcomp (optional): WINE
- Required to build keyboards using kmcomp
