Minimize the size of the resulting Docker image size by using
multi-stage build and copying the resulting binaries into a minimal
Debian system. This was done with the Alpine Docker images up until now
but not with the Debian images.
Add support for cross-compiling curl-impersonate.
Cross compiling can now be done using the '--host' flag to the configure
script. This will make sure that all sub-components are cross-compiled.
In addition, compiling for a different system requires explicitly
specifying multiple paths used by curl (e.g. for certificates). These
options were added to the configure script as well.
The build and test CI workflow will now attempt to cross-compile
curl-impersonate to ARM64 (aarch64), and upload this binary to the
GitHub release page.
Add the 'configure' script generated by autoconf and its dependencies to
the repository to save the users from having to run 'autoconf' manually.
* Add compiler flags to the boringssl build step to suppress gcc errors
raised when compiling with gcc 12+, which is present in Fedora. It is not
clear whether this is a compiler bug or a boringssl bug, however the
errors only appear when building in release mode and with gcc 12, so I
don't see any problem with manually supressing them.
* Add documentation for building on Fedora.
Tweak the curl-impersonate build system to make it work on Red Hat
based systems such as CentOS, Fedora and Amazon Linux.
* Change the Makefile to be more portable with different bash versions.
* Detect whether cmake is 'cmake' or 'cmake3', and whether ninja is
'ninja' or 'ninja-build'.
* Explicitly tell brotli to put its libraries in 'lib' dir, otherwise it
might put them in 'lib64' where curl doesn't find them.
* Add instructions for building curl-impersonate from source on Red Hat
based systems.
This is an attmept to link with NSS statically on macOS (both Intel and
Apple M1).
Statically linking with NSS is a total mess and completely
undocumented. There are 20+ .a files to link with, and their linking
order matters. The main reference for this commit is a Mozilla Rust code
responsible for statically linking NSS:
b2690fd2e4/components/support/rc_crypto/nss/nss_b uild_common/src/lib.rs#L94
Unfortunately, even with that in hand, a lot of hacking is needed to
make it all work.
On some systems (Ubuntu), after doing 'make firefox-install' or 'make chrome-install', the linker can't find libcurl-impersonate.
Instruct users to run 'ldconfig' manually after installation to refresh the linker's cache, so it finds libcurl-impersonate in /usr/local/
Add INSTALL.md with explanation about using the new Makefile-based build
system and the Docker-based build system, and remove the same section
from README.md.
