Build GitUp from command line

[giansalvo]

Hi,

I use GitUp and downloaded the source.
I'd like to create a package for MacPorts. Is it possible to build the app from command line (i.e. Makefile style) with Xcode? Which other tools are needed?

Thanks for your time.

@giansalvo try xcodebuild

@kfur thanks, I managed to run the build process.
Unfortunately it fails with this message

Users/giansalvo/Desktop/temp/GitUp/GitUpKit/Third-Party/libgit2/src/transports/ssh.c:11:10: fatal error: 'libssh2.h' file not found
#include <libssh2.h>
         ^~~~~~~~~~~
1 error generated.

The libssh2.h is located under /opt/local/include/libs.
How can I add this to the Xcode settings (possibly via command line)?

@giansalvo i don't have such problem
libssh2.h must be located in GitUpKit/Third-Party/libssh2/MacOSX/include/libssh2.h

[giansalvo]

libssh2.h must be located in GitUpKit/Third-Party/libssh2/MacOSX/include/libssh2.h

Yes, that's correct. But still I have the compile error.
This is my environment:
Xcode Version 9.3.1
macOS High Sierra 10.13.4

I got the sources as suggested in https://github.com/git-up/GitUp
git clone --recursive https://github.com/git-up/GitUp.git

I tried adding the path to the libssh2.h to Xcode settings but it doesn't find it.

@giansalvo did you do git submodule update --init --recursive ?

[giansalvo]

did you do git submodule update --init --recursive ?

When/where shoud I give such command?

here's the sequence I used:

$git clone --recursive https://github.com/git-up/GitUp.git
$cd GitUp
$cd GitUp
$xcodebuild

[kfur]

@giansalvo git clone --recursive already do git submodule update --init --recursive.
My assumption was wrong.
So maybe you were using old Xcode, or something else... I don't know
