# Mac and iOS hermetic toolchain instructions
|
|
|
|
The following is a short explanation of why we use a the hermetic toolchain
|
|
and instructions on how to roll a new toolchain.
|
|
|
|
## How to roll a new hermetic toolchain.
|
|
|
|
1. Download a new version of Xcode, and confirm either mac or ios builds
|
|
properly with this new version.
|
|
|
|
2. Run the following command:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
src/build/package_mac_toolchain.py /path/to/Xcode.app/ [ios|mac]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The script will create a subset of the toolchain necessary for a build, and
|
|
upload them to be used by hermetic builds.
|
|
|
|
If for some reason this toolchain version has already been uploaded, the
|
|
script will ask if we should create sub revision. This can be necessary when
|
|
the package script has been updated to compress additional files.
|
|
|
|
2. Create a CL with updated [MAC|IOS]_TOOLCHAIN_VERSION and _SUB_REVISION in
|
|
src/build/mac_toolchain.py with the version created by the previous command.
|
|
|
|
3. Run the CL through the trybots to confirm the roll works.
|
|
|
|
## Why we use a hermetic toolchain.
|
|
|
|
Building Chrome Mac currently requires many binaries that come bundled with
|
|
Xcode, as well the macOS and iphoneOS SDK [also bundled with Xcode]. Note that
|
|
Chrome ships its own version of clang [compiler], but is dependent on Xcode
|
|
for these other binaries.
|
|
|
|
Chrome should be built against the latest SDK available, but historically,
|
|
updating the SDK has been nontrivially difficult. Additionally, bot system
|
|
installs can range from Xcode 5 on some bots, to the latest and
|
|
greatest. Using a hermetic toolchain has two main benefits:
|
|
|
|
1. Build Chrome with a well-defined toolchain [rather than whatever happens to
|
|
be installed on the machine].
|
|
|
|
2. Easily roll/update the toolchain.
