CPython Apple source dependencies

=================================

A meta-package for building the binary packages for iOS, tvOS and watchOS that a

CPython build requires. This includes:

* BZip2

* XZ

* libFFI

* mpdecimal

* OpenSSL 1.1

* OpenSSL 3.0

The repository works by downloading, patching, and building binaries for each

SDK target and architecture that is requried. The compiled library is packed

into a tarball for distribution in "installed" form - that is, the contents of

the ``include`` and ``lib`` folders are included.

The binaries support arm64 for iOS and appleTV devices, and arm64_32 for

watchOS. They also supports device simulators on both x86_64 and M1 hardware.

This should enable the code to run on:

* iOS 13.0 or later, on:

    * iPhone (6s or later)

    * iPad (5th gen or later)

    * iPad Air (all models)

    * iPad Mini (2 or later)

    * iPad Pro (all models)

    * iPod Touch (7th gen or later)

* tvOS 9.0 or later, on:

    * Apple TV (4th gen or later)

* watchOS 4.0 or later, on:

    * Apple Watch (4th gen or later)

Quickstart

----------

**Unless you're trying to directly link against one of these libraries, you

don't need to use this repository**. When you obtain a CPython build for an

Apple platform, it will have already been linked using these libraries.

If you *do* need to link against these libraries for some reason, you can use

the pre-compiled versions that are published on the `Github releases page

`__. You don't

need to compile them yourself.

However, if you *do* need to compile your own version for some reason:

* Clone this repository

* Create a Python 3 virtual environment. Any supported Python 3 release should

  be sufficient; some tools require python3 as part of their build.

* In the root directory, run:

  - ``make`` (or ``make all``) to build everything.

  - ``make iOS`` to build everything for iOS.

  - ``make BZip2`` to build BZip2 for every platform

  - ``make BZip2-iOS`` to build BZip2 for iOS

This should:

1. Download the original source packages

2. Patch them as required for compatibility with the selected OS

3. Build the libraries for the selected OS and architecture

4. Package a tarball containing build products.

The resulting artefacts will be packaged as ``.tar.gz`` files in the ``dist``

folder.
