Full Xcode application which can take up-to 40GB of disk space is not
necessary for building VeraCrypt, rather the CommandLineTools for XCode
are sufficient which only take few gigabytes. Instead of hardcoding the SDK
location, use xcrun --show-sdk-path to support also the CommandLineTools
instance.
The reason for switching the logic for the XCode version is because the
xcodebuild will not report a correct XCode version for the CommandLineTools,
thus it can't be relied for whether to use the -Wl,-ld_classic flags.
Instead, we can just check the ld version in use in the active developer
directory, and see whether we are using dyld (the new) or ld64 (the old).
* Improve markdown documentation in README.md
This commit fixes some of the minor spelling mistakes and uses
markdown formatting to link to local files, for documentation.
* Remove reference to outdated packages installation
This is a legacy installation file that is no longer maintained.
* Add missing macOS requirement for 'make package'
We need packages for the last build step on macOS, update docs
to reflect the requirement.
* Add build instructions using homebrew
On macOS, we can use a package manager to easily install
dependencies. This simplifies onboarding and building Veracrypt.
* Add flag to use homebrew packages
When building, we can use prebuilt wxwidgets from homebrew to
simplify and speed up local building. We also put the package
behind a flag as it's optional during development.
* Skip signing for local builds
When building with homebrew, skip signing. This can be put behind
a flag to enable, if needed.
* Use system yasm on macOS if available
The binary in the repo is not universal (x86_64) and therefore
building fails on arm architecture if Rosetta is not installed.
Use local yasm if available.
* Build local arch only in development
When building via homebrew and locally, build only the local arch
which skips ASM for arm(Mx) for MacOS. This removes the need to
have rosetta installed for building.
* Fix compilation issue when COMPILE_ASM is undefined
Use a conditional check for COMPILE_ASM not being false instead of true.
This avoids passing the variable to other parts of the build script.
* Set SDK 12 as the minimum requirement and target
Align the requirement to SDK 12 in both the makefile and script,
and update the comment to remove confusion.
I chose to leave this on 12 to be on the side of err and support
as many building platforms as possible, when we can support.
The local script now also sets the target using the local sdk
version. This should improve the local development experience.
* Fix wrong architecture for macOS in x86 builds
We now build only the current arch for local development builds
in macOS. This change also fixes the x86 builds failing.
* Add instructions brew backed macOS local builds
Flags to build a local build using homebrew packages are not
default and require parameter -b to build. We also don't build
packages directly, which requires -p.
* Fix wxwidgets not linking in local x86 macOS development builds
* Clarify build location in the document
* Libzip 1.9.2
Updated Libzip to latest version 1.9.2 and changed version number in the config.h from 1.7.3 to 1.9.2. Not sure if anything else needs to be tweaked :)
* Modified Libzip to work with Visual studio
* Update README.md
Update libzip copyright.
* Added the missing files.
I've added the missing files zipconf.h and config.h, I've missed those sorry for that!

* Correction of a div box
* *: source files should not be executable
* *: make sure files have final newline
* *: remove BOM from text files
* translations: unify headers
* *: fix typos
* *: trim excess whitespace
* Start following IEEE 1541 agreed naming of bytes
This standard exists to prevent any confusion about the actual number of bytes. It has been agreed on by experts and is being used more widespead these day. Let's start properly naming the number of bytes, which is absolutely important in disk encryption software.
* Update LanguageStrings.cpp
* Update UserInterface.cpp
* kibibyte instead of kilobyte
* kibibyte instead of kilobyte
* MiB instead of MB
* undo accidental deletions
Odd indeed that two random lines were deleted in a previous commit. Probably happened when using a keyboard shortcut while editing the file. This fixes the issue.
* Mb to Mib
