MacOS CrossOver FOSS built from the Cloud

Let's build FOSS CrossOver for macOS in the cloud! I found some gists and I asked myself why don't we use the cloud and the free open source builders to build this? Here it is.

How this works?

1. See Github Actions
2. See .github/workflows/build_monolithic.yml
3. See build_local.sh

Is it working?

In principle yes, see the following image which is notepad.exe running inside wine on a macOS 10.15 machine:

However, there are still some issues, e.g. #9.

Inspiration

I learned about Free and Open Source Software Code for CrossOver and found this gist.

Where to download builds?

See #2

Can I run the build locally?

It will only work if you're on macOS, but yes. Clone the project, read the scripts first, then feel free to run build_local.sh 👍. The script is a copy of the steps done in the github action in .github/workflows/build_monolithic.yml. It contains some variables to allow for customizations.

This is an MIT repo. If you break something on your system doing so, it's your fault 😉

Can I contribute?

Definitely. Feel free to send PRs 🚀
