CocoaPods Dependency Management about iosports

[syzdek]

Hi Rob,

Your project looks intriguing. Do you have many users? I've noticed that
most of the questions I receive about iOS Ports come from devs that seem
very uncomfortable with the command line or UNIXy. This could possibly be
a result of Windows Devs moving to iOS and using iOS Ports to interact with
Active Directory.

Does CocoaPod have the ability to run arbitrary commands? If you look
through iOS Ports, there is a lack of source code. iOS Ports uses
downloads the official distribution tar files (using curl), compares the
MD5 checksums, unpacks the source, patches the source (if needed), copies
known configuration files into place, and then compiles the project. All
but the last step is completed by calling an external target to a Makefile.

Can this be easily accomplished by CocoaPod or would iOS Ports need to be
completely unwound and essentially redesigned to fit it into CocoaPod?

I'm working on adding your ports to the CocoPods repository to enable
dependency management of your frameworks and wanted to check in with you to
make sure I'm doing this right.

I'm going to split up iOSPorts into 5 separate CocoaPods as you have
listed in your readme and then include the inner dependencies as needed.
Something I noticed is that each dependency has a different license which
can be accounted for in each CocoaPod.

Also, I am going to add a CocoaPod for iOSPorts project that includes all
5 of the inner dependencies to allow devs just just include everything.
This will have your license on it.

Does this sound correct? Did you want to help out with the process?

Thanks

Sorry for any confusion, but I'm actually just a dev that has recently converted to CocoaPods in our team. We are going through our dependencies and saw that iOSPorts hasn't been added to the CocoaPods repo, so I was beginning to write a new Pod for your project and wanted to check with you.

From the looks of usage, CocoaPods looks like its taking off in the Obj-C community just like Maven or Ivy did for the Java community. To comment on your concerns, I think having this as a Pod might make things easier for new iOS developers to use your ports.

I'm fairly new to CocoaPods and am going through the process of adding a new Pod to the repo, so I will find out how it manages the makefiles. Since each individual framework can be opened and built on it's own, I don't think there will be a compatibility problem, but I will find out.

[syzdek]

If you haven't already written the new pod, let me know and I'll start chipping away at integrating iOS Ports with CocoaPod.

[rwyland]

I started with OpenSSL but ran into a bug with the CocoaPods gem.

CocoaPods/CocoaPods#375

My podspec for it is included in the bug report. Once they push a fix, I will try again and see if I can get it working.

[rwyland]

Ok, now that they have updated the gem over the weekend, I gave it another go. Here is the podspec so far:

Pod::Spec.new do |s|
  s.name         = "OpenSSL"
  s.version      = "0.6"
  s.summary      = "A port of OpenSSL's SSL/TLS and Crypto toolkit to iOS."
  s.homepage     = "http://www.bindlebinaries.com/products/developer/iosports/"
  s.license      = 'BSD-style Open Source'
  s.author       = { "David M. Syzdek" => "[email protected]" }
  s.source       = { :git => "https://github.com/bindle/iOSPorts.git", :tag => "v0.6" }
  s.platform     = :ios
  s.source_files = 'ports/security/openssl/*'
  s.preserve_paths = "build-aux"
  s.libraries    = 'libssl', 'libcrypto'
  s.requires_arc = false
  s.xcconfig     = { 'HEADER_SEARCH_PATHS' => 'openssl openssl/include openssl/crypto', 'OTHER_LDFLAGS' => '-ObjC' }
end

Here is the output for when I build the project.

# pod spec lint OpenSSL.podspec --verbose

OpenSSL.podspec passed validation.

So my guess is we need to figure out how to tell the podspec to use the make file as the target?

[fabiopelosin]

A pre install hook can be used to run the make file.

Pod::Spec.new do |s|
  def pre_install(pod, target_definition)
    Dir.chdir(pod.root){ `sh make.sh` }
  end
end

[DougPuchalski]

Has there been any progress on this?
