chore: refactor Linux and macOS build/packaging steps Replaces PR #105. Implement a `pkg-macos` target that ultimately results in `Status.dmg` being written to `pkg/`. Due to [limitations][limits] of the OpenSSL `.dylib`s in `/usr/lib/` on macOS, `libssl.a` and `libcrypto.a` are statically linked into `bin/nim_status_client` from a [Homebrew][brew] "bottle" that is compatible with macOS 10.13 (the oldest macOS version compatible with Qt v5.14). `pkg-macos` creates an `.app` bundle layout in `tmp/macos/dist` based partly on information in a very helpful [StackOverflow answer][so-answer]. Note the part of the answer (toward the end) that explains a problem with the working directory and how to fix it. That's the reason for the `nim_status_client.sh` script introduced in this commit (it gets copied into the bundle). It's also the reason for having `Info.plist` copied into the bundle before `macdeployqt` is run (see below) and then overwriting it with `Info.runner.plist` before creating the `.dmg` file. The app icons file `status-icon.icns` was taken from `deployment/macos/` in the [status-react][sr] repo. The [`macdeployqt`][macdeployqt] tool is used to copy the needed portions of Qt into the bundle; it automatically updates `rpath`, etc. so the `nim_status_client` executable in the bundle can locate the libs within the bundle. `macdeployqt` is run twice, for the "outer" and "inner" `.app` bundles, because of an apparent bug in `macdeployqt` that results in QtWebEngine related resources not being processed correctly on the first pass. This results in some bloat in the final bundle but it seems unavoidable at present. The [create-dmg][cdmg] tool is used to package the bundle into a `.dmg` file. There are two reasons for this: 1. It produces a nice looking icon for the `.dmg` that overlays the Status logo on an external disk icon. 2. `Info.plist` needs to be overwritten after running `macdeployqt` (see explanation above) but before creating the `.dmg` file. If we passed the `-dmg` cli option to `macdeployqt` to have it generate the `.dmg` file then it wouldn't be possible to overwrite `Info.plist`. So there is a cosmetic reason and a practical reason for using another tool. Probably the biggest downside is that `create-dmg` is implemented in Node.js so it needs to be installed with `npm`; that's the reason this commit introduces `package.json`, etc. Note that zero code from `node_modules` ends up in the `.app` bundle or the `.dmg` file. Code signing of the macOS `.app` bundle and `.dmg` is attempted if the environment variable `MACOS_CODESIGN_IDENT` is defined. In that case, the environment variable `MACOS_KEYCHAIN_OPT` may optionally be defined with the path to a preferred keychain database file. Refactor a number of sections in the Makefile for consistency's sake, e.g. the `appimage` target becomes `pkg-linux` and ultimately results in `NimStatusClient-x86_64.AppImage` being written to `pkg/`. Make a number of changes to bring the Linux packaging steps up-to-date and use the `-qmlimport` cli option of `linuxdeployqt` to simplify resolution of Qt plugins. Note that `make pkg` will correctly resolve to `make pkg-linux` or `make pkg-macos` depending on the OS in use. Consistently use lower-case "c" in the name of *components* directories and imports.

build: implement packaging steps for the Windows build Implement a `pkg-windows` target that ultimately results in `Status.zip` being written to `pkg/`. Note: this commit does not introduce code signing for the Windows build since that piece is still a work in progress. `pkg-windows` creates a portable folder in `tmp/windows/dist` with the help of [`windeployqt`][windeployqt], which copies the needed portions of Qt into the folder. Since DLL resolution is relatively inflexible, a launcher `Status.exe` is created at the top-level of the folder; the launcher opens `bin/Status.exe` while adding the portable folder's `bin/` to the `PATH`, allowing `bin/Status.exe` to resolve the DLLs in that folder. A few additional tools need to be installed (e.g. with [scoop][scoop]) and availble in `PATH`: * 7-zip * dos2unix (provides unix2dos) * findutils * go * rcedit * wget The above list builds on the tools list in PR #521, and the other requirements and instructions in that PR's description still apply. **Why not build an installer?** When starting work on packaging for the Windows build, my initial plan was to build an installer, and for that purpose I researched the [WiX Toolset][wix], the [Qt Installer Framework][qtif], and some other options. I found that building an installer is a bit complex. I then recalled, from personal experience, that [Cmder][cmder]'s [Mini download][mini] is installer-less. You simply unzip the download and place the `cmder_mini` folder wherever you prefer. Such an approach was also recommended to me in one of the Nim language's community chats. In addition to being simpler, the installer-less approach also gives installation of Status Desktop a lower profile than an installer-application would since nothing is written to the Windows registry, added to the *Add or remove programs* list, etc. I think that's a benefit given the privacy-security focus of Status, but others may feel differently so please provide feedback on this point!

Note: this commit does not introduce packaging or code signing for the Windows build as those pieces are still a work in progress.

Qt's `MSVC 2017 64-bit` and `MinGW 7.3.0 64-bit` toolchains must both be installed, e.g. with the Qt Online Installer tool. CMake needs to be installed; it is available via the Qt Online Installer tool under *Developer and Designer Tools* (`CMake 3.17.1 64-bit`). A couple of additional tools need to be installed (e.g. with [scoop][scoop]) and availble in `PATH`: * findutils * go For `.dll` resolution to function as needed, in a Bash shell `PATH` should be modified like this (might be different depending on how/where things were installed): ```bash export QTBASE="/c/Qt" export QTDIR="${QTBASE}/5.14.2/msvc2017_64" export PATH="${HOME}/scoop/shims:${PATH}" export PATH="${QTDIR}/bin:${PATH}" export PATH="${QTBASE}/Tools/mingw730_64/bin:${PATH}" export PATH="${QTBASE}/Tools/CMake_64/bin:${PATH}" ``` With those modifications in place, to build `nim_status_client.exe` do: ``` mingw32-make.exe V=1 ``` To run the executable do: ``` mingw32-make.exe run ``` [git-win]: https://gitforwindows.org/ [ms-build]: https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools/ [scoop]: https://scoop.sh/

build: implement packaging steps for the Windows build Implement a `pkg-windows` target that ultimately results in `Status.zip` being written to `pkg/`. Note: this commit does not introduce code signing for the Windows build since that piece is still a work in progress. `pkg-windows` creates a portable folder in `tmp/windows/dist` with the help of [`windeployqt`][windeployqt], which copies the needed portions of Qt into the folder. Since DLL resolution is relatively inflexible, a launcher `Status.exe` is created at the top-level of the folder; the launcher opens `bin/Status.exe` while adding the portable folder's `bin/` to the `PATH`, allowing `bin/Status.exe` to resolve the DLLs in that folder. A few additional tools need to be installed (e.g. with [scoop][scoop]) and availble in `PATH`: * 7-zip * dos2unix (provides unix2dos) * findutils * go * rcedit * wget The above list builds on the tools list in PR #521, and the other requirements and instructions in that PR's description still apply. **Why not build an installer?** When starting work on packaging for the Windows build, my initial plan was to build an installer, and for that purpose I researched the [WiX Toolset][wix], the [Qt Installer Framework][qtif], and some other options. I found that building an installer is a bit complex. I then recalled, from personal experience, that [Cmder][cmder]'s [Mini download][mini] is installer-less. You simply unzip the download and place the `cmder_mini` folder wherever you prefer. Such an approach was also recommended to me in one of the Nim language's community chats. In addition to being simpler, the installer-less approach also gives installation of Status Desktop a lower profile than an installer-application would since nothing is written to the Windows registry, added to the *Add or remove programs* list, etc. I think that's a benefit given the privacy-security focus of Status, but others may feel differently so please provide feedback on this point!

chore: refactor Linux and macOS build/packaging steps Replaces PR #105. Implement a `pkg-macos` target that ultimately results in `Status.dmg` being written to `pkg/`. Due to [limitations][limits] of the OpenSSL `.dylib`s in `/usr/lib/` on macOS, `libssl.a` and `libcrypto.a` are statically linked into `bin/nim_status_client` from a [Homebrew][brew] "bottle" that is compatible with macOS 10.13 (the oldest macOS version compatible with Qt v5.14). `pkg-macos` creates an `.app` bundle layout in `tmp/macos/dist` based partly on information in a very helpful [StackOverflow answer][so-answer]. Note the part of the answer (toward the end) that explains a problem with the working directory and how to fix it. That's the reason for the `nim_status_client.sh` script introduced in this commit (it gets copied into the bundle). It's also the reason for having `Info.plist` copied into the bundle before `macdeployqt` is run (see below) and then overwriting it with `Info.runner.plist` before creating the `.dmg` file. The app icons file `status-icon.icns` was taken from `deployment/macos/` in the [status-react][sr] repo. The [`macdeployqt`][macdeployqt] tool is used to copy the needed portions of Qt into the bundle; it automatically updates `rpath`, etc. so the `nim_status_client` executable in the bundle can locate the libs within the bundle. `macdeployqt` is run twice, for the "outer" and "inner" `.app` bundles, because of an apparent bug in `macdeployqt` that results in QtWebEngine related resources not being processed correctly on the first pass. This results in some bloat in the final bundle but it seems unavoidable at present. The [create-dmg][cdmg] tool is used to package the bundle into a `.dmg` file. There are two reasons for this: 1. It produces a nice looking icon for the `.dmg` that overlays the Status logo on an external disk icon. 2. `Info.plist` needs to be overwritten after running `macdeployqt` (see explanation above) but before creating the `.dmg` file. If we passed the `-dmg` cli option to `macdeployqt` to have it generate the `.dmg` file then it wouldn't be possible to overwrite `Info.plist`. So there is a cosmetic reason and a practical reason for using another tool. Probably the biggest downside is that `create-dmg` is implemented in Node.js so it needs to be installed with `npm`; that's the reason this commit introduces `package.json`, etc. Note that zero code from `node_modules` ends up in the `.app` bundle or the `.dmg` file. Code signing of the macOS `.app` bundle and `.dmg` is attempted if the environment variable `MACOS_CODESIGN_IDENT` is defined. In that case, the environment variable `MACOS_KEYCHAIN_OPT` may optionally be defined with the path to a preferred keychain database file. Refactor a number of sections in the Makefile for consistency's sake, e.g. the `appimage` target becomes `pkg-linux` and ultimately results in `NimStatusClient-x86_64.AppImage` being written to `pkg/`. Make a number of changes to bring the Linux packaging steps up-to-date and use the `-qmlimport` cli option of `linuxdeployqt` to simplify resolution of Qt plugins. Note that `make pkg` will correctly resolve to `make pkg-linux` or `make pkg-macos` depending on the OS in use. Consistently use lower-case "c" in the name of *components* directories and imports.

The app icons file `status-icon.icns` was taken from `deployment/macos/` in the [status-react][sr] repo. The [`macdeployqt`][macdeployqt] tool is used to copy the needed portions of Qt into the bundle; it automatically updates `rpath`, etc. so the `nim_status_client` executable in the bundle can locate the libs within the bundle. `macdeployqt` is run twice, for the "outer" and "inner" `.app` bundles, because of an apparent bug in `macdeployqt` that results in QtWebEngine related resources not being processed correctly on the first pass. This results in some bloat in the final bundle but it seems unavoidable at present. The [create-dmg][cdmg] tool is used to package the bundle into a `.dmg` file. There are two reasons for this: 1. It produces a nice looking icon for the `.dmg` that overlays the Status logo on an external disk icon. 2. `Info.plist` needs to be overwritten after running `macdeployqt` (see explanation above) but before creating the `.dmg` file. If we passed the `-dmg` cli option to `macdeployqt` to have it generate the `.dmg` file then it wouldn't be possible to overwrite `Info.plist`. So there is a cosmetic reason and a practical reason for using another tool. Probably the biggest downside is that `create-dmg` is implemented in Node.js so it needs to be installed with `npm`; that's the reason this commit introduces `package.json`, etc. Note that zero code from `node_modules` ends up in the `.app` bundle or the `.dmg` file. Code signing of the macOS `.app` bundle and `.dmg` is attempted if the environment variable `MACOS_CODESIGN_IDENT` is defined. In that case, the environment variable `MACOS_KEYCHAIN_OPT` may optionally be defined with the path to a preferred keychain database file. Refactor a number of sections in the Makefile for consistency's sake, e.g. the `appimage` target becomes `pkg-linux` and ultimately results in `NimStatusClient-x86_64.AppImage` being written to `pkg/`. Make a number of changes to bring the Linux packaging steps up-to-date and use the `-qmlimport` cli option of `linuxdeployqt` to simplify resolution of Qt plugins. Note that `make pkg` will correctly resolve to `make pkg-linux` or `make pkg-macos` depending on the OS in use. Consistently use lower-case "c" in the name of *components* directories and imports.

chore: refactor Linux and macOS build/packaging steps Replaces PR #105. Implement a `pkg-macos` target that ultimately results in `Status.dmg` being written to `pkg/`. Due to [limitations][limits] of the OpenSSL `.dylib`s in `/usr/lib/` on macOS, `libssl.a` and `libcrypto.a` are statically linked into `bin/nim_status_client` from a [Homebrew][brew] "bottle" that is compatible with macOS 10.13 (the oldest macOS version compatible with Qt v5.14). `pkg-macos` creates an `.app` bundle layout in `tmp/macos/dist` based partly on information in a very helpful [StackOverflow answer][so-answer]. Note the part of the answer (toward the end) that explains a problem with the working directory and how to fix it. That's the reason for the `nim_status_client.sh` script introduced in this commit (it gets copied into the bundle). It's also the reason for having `Info.plist` copied into the bundle before `macdeployqt` is run (see below) and then overwriting it with `Info.runner.plist` before creating the `.dmg` file.

feat: command-line option can be used to specify app's data directory In the repo: ``` $ bin/nim_status_client --help ``` In the packaged app (macOS example): ``` $ cd /Applications/Status.app/Contents/MacOS $ ./nim_status_client --help ``` Output: ``` Usage: nim_status_client [OPTIONS]... The following options are available: -d, --dataDir Status Desktop data directory. ``` **Using the option** ``` $ cd ~/status-ci-builds/master/Status.app/Contents/MacOS $ ./nim_status_client --dataDir:"${HOME}/status-dirs/master" ``` In another terminal: ``` $ cd ~/status-ci-builds/PR-4242/Status.app/Contents/MacOS $ ./nim_status_client --dataDir:"${HOME}/status-dirs/PR-4242" ``` The path supplied can be relative or absolute, and can be specified with `--dataDir:[path]`, `--dataDir=[path]`, `-d:[path]`, or `-d=[path]`. Either `:` or `=` must be used, i.e. this *will not* work: `--dataDir [path]` or `-d [path]`. The name of the option follows Nim's partial case-insensitivity rules, so `--dataDir`, `--datadir`, and `--data_dir` are all equivalent. See [Identifier equality][ieq] in the Nim Manual. It is possible to run the same build in multiple terminals by supplying different `--dataDir`, i.e. this works: ``` $ cd /Applications/Status.app/Contents/MacOS $ ./nim_status_client --dataDir="${HOME}/temp/some1" ``` In another terminal: ``` $ cd /Applications/Status.app/Contents/MacOS $ ./nim_status_client --dataDir="${HOME}/temp/some2" ``` **Windows** It is recommended to use a Git Bash or MSYS2 terminal when invoking `bin/nim_status_client.exe` (development build) or `bin/Status.exe` (production build) on the command-line. The reason is that if the exe is invoked in a session of `cmd.exe` it will return to the prompt immediately; the app will run but there will be no output in the terminal. In any case, the `--dataDir` option will take effect whether the exe is invoked in `cmd.exe` or a recommended terminal. For development builds, when invoking `bin/nim_status_client.exe` directly instead of via `make run`, because e.g. you wish to use the `--dataDir` option, it is required to first setup the `PATH` environment variable correctly. See the `run-windows` target in this repo's Makefile for more information. **Linux** The `--dataDir` option may be passed to command-line invocation of a production (AppImage) build in the same way as passing it to a development build: ``` $ Status.AppImage --dataDir:/path/to/wherever ``` For development builds, when invoking `bin/nim_status_client` directly instead of via `make run`, because e.g. you wish to use the `--dataDir` option, it is required to setup the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` environment variable correctly. See the `run-linux` target in this repo's Makefile for more information. --- BREAKING CHANGE: The `qt` subdir of the app's data directory is now a sibling of the status-go directory rather than a subdir of the status-go directory: ``` Status (app data directory) ├── data (status-go directory) ├── qt └── tmp ``` Because app settings are stored in the `qt` directory that means that existing installations will lose their customized settings. At app startup, it would be possible to detect `Status/data/qt` and if `Status/qt` doesn't exist yet then copy `Status/data/qt` to `Status/qt`. However, there was some concern that behavior could lead to problems later on if we forget the workaround is in place. So for now that settings preservation strategy has not been implemented, but it might be before this commit is merged pending full team awareness/consensus. --- Command-line option support is provided by [nim-confutils](https://github.com/status-im/nim-confutils). The environment variable `NIM_STATUS_CLIENT_DEV` has been removed in favor of passing a "define" option to the Nim compiler: `-d:development` for development builds (e.g. `make V=1`) and `-d:production` for packaged builds (e.g. `make V=1 pkg`). Passing the correct option is handled automatically by the Makefile. A make variable named `RELEASE` has been introduced, which defaults to `false`. Presently the `RELEASE` variable should not be set on the command-line nor in CI as more work needs to be done to toggle the proper compiler flags. In the case of Status Desktop, "release vs. debug" is a concern orthogonal to "production vs. development". At present, production builds and development builds are all debug builds, but that will likely change in the future: we can have non-release CI production builds and local development builds be debug builds, while release builds in CI would be production builds with `RELEASE=true` (the compiled executable will be fully optimized). Prior to the changes in this PR, symmetry is somewhat lacking between development and production (packaged) builds with respect to the concept of the "data directory". In development builds the root of the repo effectively serves as the `Status` directory used by production builds, e.g. on macOS `~/Library/Application Support/Status`. Also, there's a bit of confusion as to whether "data directory" refers to a directory for the desktop app's overall data (including status-go data) or to the specific directory used by status-go. This PR attempts to provide symmetry and reduce confusion: * The term "data directory" means the directory used by the desktop app to store multiple kinds of data and is not a reference to the subdirectory used by status-go. * For development builds the "data directory" defaults to `./Status/` relative to the root of the repo. * For production builds the "data directory" default is the same as before, e.g. on macOS it's ` ~/Library/Application Support/Status/`. The directory used by status-go is `Status/data/`. To be clear, that should be referred to as the "status-go directory" and not the app's "data directory". It would nice if we could rename it from `Status/data/` to `Status/status-go/`. We can do that, I already checked that it works correctly; however, for existing installations it would require that at app launch we check for the presence of `Status/data/` and rename it to `Status/status-go`. While simple enough to do, I was concerned that there might be edge cases where the directory rename could cause a problem (e.g. if another copy of the app is running) so chose for now to stick with the status-go directory being `Status/data/`. --- **NOTES** More work needs to be done to ensure that all data written by the app is contained in the default or cli-specified data directory. Currently, both development and production (packaged) builds are writing to common directories outside of the data directory, e.g. located within `~/Library/` on macOS. Changing that behavior seems like it will mainly involve changing defaults related to Qt components such as the web engine. See: https://github.com/status-im/status-desktop/issues/1141. In general, additional refactoring could be done in the future. For example, implementing `StatusDesktopConfig` in `src/status/libstatus/accounts/constants.nim` (as done in this PR) works fine for now, but better code organization is desirable. --- Closes #2268 [ieq]: https://nim-lang.org/docs/manual.html#lexical-analysis-identifier-equality

So for now that settings preservation strategy has not been implemented, but it might be before this commit is merged pending full team awareness/consensus. --- Command-line option support is provided by [nim-confutils](https://github.com/status-im/nim-confutils). The environment variable `NIM_STATUS_CLIENT_DEV` has been removed in favor of passing a "define" option to the Nim compiler: `-d:development` for development builds (e.g. `make V=1`) and `-d:production` for packaged builds (e.g. `make V=1 pkg`). Passing the correct option is handled automatically by the Makefile. A make variable named `RELEASE` has been introduced, which defaults to `false`. Presently the `RELEASE` variable should not be set on the command-line nor in CI as more work needs to be done to toggle the proper compiler flags. In the case of Status Desktop, "release vs. debug" is a concern orthogonal to "production vs. development". At present, production builds and development builds are all debug builds, but that will likely change in the future: we can have non-release CI production builds and local development builds be debug builds, while release builds in CI would be production builds with `RELEASE=true` (the compiled executable will be fully optimized). Prior to the changes in this PR, symmetry is somewhat lacking between development and production (packaged) builds with respect to the concept of the "data directory". In development builds the root of the repo effectively serves as the `Status` directory used by production builds, e.g. on macOS `~/Library/Application Support/Status`. Also, there's a bit of confusion as to whether "data directory" refers to a directory for the desktop app's overall data (including status-go data) or to the specific directory used by status-go. This PR attempts to provide symmetry and reduce confusion: * The term "data directory" means the directory used by the desktop app to store multiple kinds of data and is not a reference to the subdirectory used by status-go. * For development builds the "data directory" defaults to `./Status/` relative to the root of the repo. * For production builds the "data directory" default is the same as before, e.g. on macOS it's ` ~/Library/Application Support/Status/`. The directory used by status-go is `Status/data/`. To be clear, that should be referred to as the "status-go directory" and not the app's "data directory". It would nice if we could rename it from `Status/data/` to `Status/status-go/`. We can do that, I already checked that it works correctly; however, for existing installations it would require that at app launch we check for the presence of `Status/data/` and rename it to `Status/status-go`. While simple enough to do, I was concerned that there might be edge cases where the directory rename could cause a problem (e.g. if another copy of the app is running) so chose for now to stick with the status-go directory being `Status/data/`. --- **NOTES** More work needs to be done to ensure that all data written by the app is contained in the default or cli-specified data directory. Currently, both development and production (packaged) builds are writing to common directories outside of the data directory, e.g. located within `~/Library/` on macOS. Changing that behavior seems like it will mainly involve changing defaults related to Qt components such as the web engine. See: https://github.com/status-im/status-desktop/issues/1141. In general, additional refactoring could be done in the future. For example, implementing `StatusDesktopConfig` in `src/status/libstatus/accounts/constants.nim` (as done in this PR) works fine for now, but better code organization is desirable. --- Closes #2268 [ieq]: https://nim-lang.org/docs/manual.html#lexical-analysis-identifier-equality

chore: refactor Linux and macOS build/packaging steps Replaces PR #105. Implement a `pkg-macos` target that ultimately results in `Status.dmg` being written to `pkg/`. Due to [limitations][limits] of the OpenSSL `.dylib`s in `/usr/lib/` on macOS, `libssl.a` and `libcrypto.a` are statically linked into `bin/nim_status_client` from a [Homebrew][brew] "bottle" that is compatible with macOS 10.13 (the oldest macOS version compatible with Qt v5.14). `pkg-macos` creates an `.app` bundle layout in `tmp/macos/dist` based partly on information in a very helpful [StackOverflow answer][so-answer]. Note the part of the answer (toward the end) that explains a problem with the working directory and how to fix it. That's the reason for the `nim_status_client.sh` script introduced in this commit (it gets copied into the bundle). It's also the reason for having `Info.plist` copied into the bundle before `macdeployqt` is run (see below) and then overwriting it with `Info.runner.plist` before creating the `.dmg` file. The app icons file `status-icon.icns` was taken from `deployment/macos/` in the [status-react][sr] repo. The [`macdeployqt`][macdeployqt] tool is used to copy the needed portions of Qt into the bundle; it automatically updates `rpath`, etc. so the `nim_status_client` executable in the bundle can locate the libs within the bundle. `macdeployqt` is run twice, for the "outer" and "inner" `.app` bundles, because of an apparent bug in `macdeployqt` that results in QtWebEngine related resources not being processed correctly on the first pass. This results in some bloat in the final bundle but it seems unavoidable at present. The [create-dmg][cdmg] tool is used to package the bundle into a `.dmg` file. There are two reasons for this: 1. It produces a nice looking icon for the `.dmg` that overlays the Status logo on an external disk icon. 2. `Info.plist` needs to be overwritten after running `macdeployqt` (see explanation above) but before creating the `.dmg` file. If we passed the `-dmg` cli option to `macdeployqt` to have it generate the `.dmg` file then it wouldn't be possible to overwrite `Info.plist`. So there is a cosmetic reason and a practical reason for using another tool. Probably the biggest downside is that `create-dmg` is implemented in Node.js so it needs to be installed with `npm`; that's the reason this commit introduces `package.json`, etc. Note that zero code from `node_modules` ends up in the `.app` bundle or the `.dmg` file. Code signing of the macOS `.app` bundle and `.dmg` is attempted if the environment variable `MACOS_CODESIGN_IDENT` is defined. In that case, the environment variable `MACOS_KEYCHAIN_OPT` may optionally be defined with the path to a preferred keychain database file. Refactor a number of sections in the Makefile for consistency's sake, e.g. the `appimage` target becomes `pkg-linux` and ultimately results in `NimStatusClient-x86_64.AppImage` being written to `pkg/`. Make a number of changes to bring the Linux packaging steps up-to-date and use the `-qmlimport` cli option of `linuxdeployqt` to simplify resolution of Qt plugins. Note that `make pkg` will correctly resolve to `make pkg-linux` or `make pkg-macos` depending on the OS in use. Consistently use lower-case "c" in the name of *components* directories and imports.

feat: command-line option can be used to specify app's data directory In the repo: ``` $ bin/nim_status_client --help ``` In the packaged app (macOS example): ``` $ cd /Applications/Status.app/Contents/MacOS $ ./nim_status_client --help ``` Output: ``` Usage: nim_status_client [OPTIONS]... The following options are available: -d, --dataDir Status Desktop data directory. ``` **Using the option** ``` $ cd ~/status-ci-builds/master/Status.app/Contents/MacOS $ ./nim_status_client --dataDir:"${HOME}/status-dirs/master" ``` In another terminal: ``` $ cd ~/status-ci-builds/PR-4242/Status.app/Contents/MacOS $ ./nim_status_client --dataDir:"${HOME}/status-dirs/PR-4242" ``` The path supplied can be relative or absolute, and can be specified with `--dataDir:[path]`, `--dataDir=[path]`, `-d:[path]`, or `-d=[path]`. Either `:` or `=` must be used, i.e. this *will not* work: `--dataDir [path]` or `-d [path]`. The name of the option follows Nim's partial case-insensitivity rules, so `--dataDir`, `--datadir`, and `--data_dir` are all equivalent. See [Identifier equality][ieq] in the Nim Manual. It is possible to run the same build in multiple terminals by supplying different `--dataDir`, i.e. this works: ``` $ cd /Applications/Status.app/Contents/MacOS $ ./nim_status_client --dataDir="${HOME}/temp/some1" ``` In another terminal: ``` $ cd /Applications/Status.app/Contents/MacOS $ ./nim_status_client --dataDir="${HOME}/temp/some2" ``` **Windows** It is recommended to use a Git Bash or MSYS2 terminal when invoking `bin/nim_status_client.exe` (development build) or `bin/Status.exe` (production build) on the command-line. The reason is that if the exe is invoked in a session of `cmd.exe` it will return to the prompt immediately; the app will run but there will be no output in the terminal. In any case, the `--dataDir` option will take effect whether the exe is invoked in `cmd.exe` or a recommended terminal. For development builds, when invoking `bin/nim_status_client.exe` directly instead of via `make run`, because e.g. you wish to use the `--dataDir` option, it is required to first setup the `PATH` environment variable correctly. See the `run-windows` target in this repo's Makefile for more information. **Linux** The `--dataDir` option may be passed to command-line invocation of a production (AppImage) build in the same way as passing it to a development build: ``` $ Status.AppImage --dataDir:/path/to/wherever ``` For development builds, when invoking `bin/nim_status_client` directly instead of via `make run`, because e.g. you wish to use the `--dataDir` option, it is required to setup the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` environment variable correctly. See the `run-linux` target in this repo's Makefile for more information. --- BREAKING CHANGE: The `qt` subdir of the app's data directory is now a sibling of the status-go directory rather than a subdir of the status-go directory: ``` Status (app data directory) ├── data (status-go directory) ├── qt └── tmp ``` Because app settings are stored in the `qt` directory that means that existing installations will lose their customized settings. At app startup, it would be possible to detect `Status/data/qt` and if `Status/qt` doesn't exist yet then copy `Status/data/qt` to `Status/qt`. However, there was some concern that behavior could lead to problems later on if we forget the workaround is in place.

build: enhance build system so that it can run directly on Windows Replaces #82, which in any case is out-of-date re: the current state of this repo's Makefile. Introduces the ability to build `nim_status_client.exe` directly on Windows, i.e. without needing to use Windows Subsystem for Linux or otherwise cross-compile on Linux. Note: this commit does not introduce packaging or code signing for the Windows build as those pieces are still a work in progress. The `make` targets should be run in a Bash shell, e.g. in *Git Bash* as included in the installation of [Git for Windows][git-win]. [Microsoft Visual C++ Build Tools][ms-build] must be installed. Qt's `MSVC 2017 64-bit` and `MinGW 7.3.0 64-bit` toolchains must both be installed, e.g. with the Qt Online Installer tool. CMake needs to be installed; it is available via the Qt Online Installer tool under *Developer and Designer Tools* (`CMake 3.17.1 64-bit`). A couple of additional tools need to be installed (e.g. with [scoop][scoop]) and availble in `PATH`: * findutils * go For `.dll` resolution to function as needed, in a Bash shell `PATH` should be modified like this (might be different depending on how/where things were installed): ```bash export QTBASE="/c/Qt" export QTDIR="${QTBASE}/5.14.2/msvc2017_64" export PATH="${HOME}/scoop/shims:${PATH}" export PATH="${QTDIR}/bin:${PATH}" export PATH="${QTBASE}/Tools/mingw730_64/bin:${PATH}" export PATH="${QTBASE}/Tools/CMake_64/bin:${PATH}" ``` With those modifications in place, to build `nim_status_client.exe` do: ``` mingw32-make.exe V=1 ``` To run the executable do: ``` mingw32-make.exe run ``` [git-win]: https://gitforwindows.org/ [ms-build]: https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools/ [scoop]: https://scoop.sh/

chore: refactor Linux and macOS build/packaging steps Replaces PR #105. Implement a `pkg-macos` target that ultimately results in `Status.dmg` being written to `pkg/`. Due to [limitations][limits] of the OpenSSL `.dylib`s in `/usr/lib/` on macOS, `libssl.a` and `libcrypto.a` are statically linked into `bin/nim_status_client` from a [Homebrew][brew] "bottle" that is compatible with macOS 10.13 (the oldest macOS version compatible with Qt v5.14). `pkg-macos` creates an `.app` bundle layout in `tmp/macos/dist` based partly on information in a very helpful [StackOverflow answer][so-answer]. Note the part of the answer (toward the end) that explains a problem with the working directory and how to fix it. That's the reason for the `nim_status_client.sh` script introduced in this commit (it gets copied into the bundle). It's also the reason for having `Info.plist` copied into the bundle before `macdeployqt` is run (see below) and then overwriting it with `Info.runner.plist` before creating the `.dmg` file. The app icons file `status-icon.icns` was taken from `deployment/macos/` in the [status-react][sr] repo. The [`macdeployqt`][macdeployqt] tool is used to copy the needed portions of Qt into the bundle; it automatically updates `rpath`, etc. so the `nim_status_client` executable in the bundle can locate the libs within the bundle. `macdeployqt` is run twice, for the "outer" and "inner" `.app` bundles, because of an apparent bug in `macdeployqt` that results in QtWebEngine related resources not being processed correctly on the first pass. This results in some bloat in the final bundle but it seems unavoidable at present. The [create-dmg][cdmg] tool is used to package the bundle into a `.dmg` file. There are two reasons for this: 1. It produces a nice looking icon for the `.dmg` that overlays the Status logo on an external disk icon. 2. `Info.plist` needs to be overwritten after running `macdeployqt` (see explanation above) but before creating the `.dmg` file. If we passed the `-dmg` cli option to `macdeployqt` to have it generate the `.dmg` file then it wouldn't be possible to overwrite `Info.plist`. So there is a cosmetic reason and a practical reason for using another tool. Probably the biggest downside is that `create-dmg` is implemented in Node.js so it needs to be installed with `npm`; that's the reason this commit introduces `package.json`, etc. Note that zero code from `node_modules` ends up in the `.app` bundle or the `.dmg` file. Code signing of the macOS `.app` bundle and `.dmg` is attempted if the environment variable `MACOS_CODESIGN_IDENT` is defined. In that case, the environment variable `MACOS_KEYCHAIN_OPT` may optionally be defined with the path to a preferred keychain database file. Refactor a number of sections in the Makefile for consistency's sake, e.g. the `appimage` target becomes `pkg-linux` and ultimately results in `NimStatusClient-x86_64.AppImage` being written to `pkg/`. Make a number of changes to bring the Linux packaging steps up-to-date and use the `-qmlimport` cli option of `linuxdeployqt` to simplify resolution of Qt plugins. Note that `make pkg` will correctly resolve to `make pkg-linux` or `make pkg-macos` depending on the OS in use. Consistently use lower-case "c" in the name of *components* directories and imports.

feat: command-line option can be used to specify app's data directory In the repo: ``` $ bin/nim_status_client --help ``` In the packaged app (macOS example): ``` $ cd /Applications/Status.app/Contents/MacOS $ ./nim_status_client --help ``` Output: ``` Usage: nim_status_client [OPTIONS]... The following options are available: -d, --dataDir Status Desktop data directory. ``` **Using the option** ``` $ cd ~/status-ci-builds/master/Status.app/Contents/MacOS $ ./nim_status_client --dataDir:"${HOME}/status-dirs/master" ``` In another terminal: ``` $ cd ~/status-ci-builds/PR-4242/Status.app/Contents/MacOS $ ./nim_status_client --dataDir:"${HOME}/status-dirs/PR-4242" ``` The path supplied can be relative or absolute, and can be specified with `--dataDir:[path]`, `--dataDir=[path]`, `-d:[path]`, or `-d=[path]`. Either `:` or `=` must be used, i.e. this *will not* work: `--dataDir [path]` or `-d [path]`. The name of the option follows Nim's partial case-insensitivity rules, so `--dataDir`, `--datadir`, and `--data_dir` are all equivalent. See [Identifier equality][ieq] in the Nim Manual. It is possible to run the same build in multiple terminals by supplying different `--dataDir`, i.e. this works: ``` $ cd /Applications/Status.app/Contents/MacOS $ ./nim_status_client --dataDir="${HOME}/temp/some1" ``` In another terminal: ``` $ cd /Applications/Status.app/Contents/MacOS $ ./nim_status_client --dataDir="${HOME}/temp/some2" ``` **Windows** It is recommended to use a Git Bash or MSYS2 terminal when invoking `bin/nim_status_client.exe` (development build) or `bin/Status.exe` (production build) on the command-line. The reason is that if the exe is invoked in a session of `cmd.exe` it will return to the prompt immediately; the app will run but there will be no output in the terminal. In any case, the `--dataDir` option will take effect whether the exe is invoked in `cmd.exe` or a recommended terminal. For development builds, when invoking `bin/nim_status_client.exe` directly instead of via `make run`, because e.g. you wish to use the `--dataDir` option, it is required to first setup the `PATH` environment variable correctly. See the `run-windows` target in this repo's Makefile for more information. **Linux** The `--dataDir` option may be passed to command-line invocation of a production (AppImage) build in the same way as passing it to a development build: ``` $ Status.AppImage --dataDir:/path/to/wherever ``` For development builds, when invoking `bin/nim_status_client` directly instead of via `make run`, because e.g. you wish to use the `--dataDir` option, it is required to setup the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` environment variable correctly. See the `run-linux` target in this repo's Makefile for more information. --- BREAKING CHANGE: The `qt` subdir of the app's data directory is now a sibling of the status-go directory rather than a subdir of the status-go directory: ``` Status (app data directory) ├── data (status-go directory) ├── qt └── tmp ``` Because app settings are stored in the `qt` directory that means that existing installations will lose their customized settings. At app startup, it would be possible to detect `Status/data/qt` and if `Status/qt` doesn't exist yet then copy `Status/data/qt` to `Status/qt`. However, there was some concern that behavior could lead to problems later on if we forget the workaround is in place. So for now that settings preservation strategy has not been implemented, but it might be before this commit is merged pending full team awareness/consensus. --- Command-line option support is provided by [nim-confutils](https://github.com/status-im/nim-confutils). The environment variable `NIM_STATUS_CLIENT_DEV` has been removed in favor of passing a "define" option to the Nim compiler: `-d:development` for development builds (e.g. `make V=1`) and `-d:production` for packaged builds (e.g. `make V=1 pkg`). Passing the correct option is handled automatically by the Makefile. A make variable named `RELEASE` has been introduced, which defaults to `false`. Presently the `RELEASE` variable should not be set on the command-line nor in CI as more work needs to be done to toggle the proper compiler flags. In the case of Status Desktop, "release vs. debug" is a concern orthogonal to "production vs. development". At present, production builds and development builds are all debug builds, but that will likely change in the future: we can have non-release CI production builds and local development builds be debug builds, while release builds in CI would be production builds with `RELEASE=true` (the compiled executable will be fully optimized). Prior to the changes in this PR, symmetry is somewhat lacking between development and production (packaged) builds with respect to the concept of the "data directory". In development builds the root of the repo effectively serves as the `Status` directory used by production builds, e.g. on macOS `~/Library/Application Support/Status`. Also, there's a bit of confusion as to whether "data directory" refers to a directory for the desktop app's overall data (including status-go data) or to the specific directory used by status-go. This PR attempts to provide symmetry and reduce confusion: * The term "data directory" means the directory used by the desktop app to store multiple kinds of data and is not a reference to the subdirectory used by status-go. * For development builds the "data directory" defaults to `./Status/` relative to the root of the repo. * For production builds the "data directory" default is the same as before, e.g. on macOS it's ` ~/Library/Application Support/Status/`. The directory used by status-go is `Status/data/`. To be clear, that should be referred to as the "status-go directory" and not the app's "data directory". It would nice if we could rename it from `Status/data/` to `Status/status-go/`. We can do that, I already checked that it works correctly; however, for existing installations it would require that at app launch we check for the presence of `Status/data/` and rename it to `Status/status-go`. While simple enough to do, I was concerned that there might be edge cases where the directory rename could cause a problem (e.g. if another copy of the app is running) so chose for now to stick with the status-go directory being `Status/data/`. --- **NOTES** More work needs to be done to ensure that all data written by the app is contained in the default or cli-specified data directory. Currently, both development and production (packaged) builds are writing to common directories outside of the data directory, e.g. located within `~/Library/` on macOS. Changing that behavior seems like it will mainly involve changing defaults related to Qt components such as the web engine. See: https://github.com/status-im/status-desktop/issues/1141. In general, additional refactoring could be done in the future. For example, implementing `StatusDesktopConfig` in `src/status/libstatus/accounts/constants.nim` (as done in this PR) works fine for now, but better code organization is desirable. --- Closes #2268 [ieq]: https://nim-lang.org/docs/manual.html#lexical-analysis-identifier-equality

build: implement packaging steps for the Windows build Implement a `pkg-windows` target that ultimately results in `Status.zip` being written to `pkg/`. Note: this commit does not introduce code signing for the Windows build since that piece is still a work in progress. `pkg-windows` creates a portable folder in `tmp/windows/dist` with the help of [`windeployqt`][windeployqt], which copies the needed portions of Qt into the folder. Since DLL resolution is relatively inflexible, a launcher `Status.exe` is created at the top-level of the folder; the launcher opens `bin/Status.exe` while adding the portable folder's `bin/` to the `PATH`, allowing `bin/Status.exe` to resolve the DLLs in that folder. A few additional tools need to be installed (e.g. with [scoop][scoop]) and availble in `PATH`: * 7-zip * dos2unix (provides unix2dos) * findutils * go * rcedit * wget The above list builds on the tools list in PR #521, and the other requirements and instructions in that PR's description still apply. **Why not build an installer?** When starting work on packaging for the Windows build, my initial plan was to build an installer, and for that purpose I researched the [WiX Toolset][wix], the [Qt Installer Framework][qtif], and some other options. I found that building an installer is a bit complex. I then recalled, from personal experience, that [Cmder][cmder]'s [Mini download][mini] is installer-less. You simply unzip the download and place the `cmder_mini` folder wherever you prefer. Such an approach was also recommended to me in one of the Nim language's community chats. In addition to being simpler, the installer-less approach also gives installation of Status Desktop a lower profile than an installer-application would since nothing is written to the Windows registry, added to the *Add or remove programs* list, etc. I think that's a benefit given the privacy-security focus of Status, but others may feel differently so please provide feedback on this point!

chore: refactor Linux and macOS build/packaging steps Replaces PR #105. Implement a `pkg-macos` target that ultimately results in `Status.dmg` being written to `pkg/`. Due to [limitations][limits] of the OpenSSL `.dylib`s in `/usr/lib/` on macOS, `libssl.a` and `libcrypto.a` are statically linked into `bin/nim_status_client` from a [Homebrew][brew] "bottle" that is compatible with macOS 10.13 (the oldest macOS version compatible with Qt v5.14). `pkg-macos` creates an `.app` bundle layout in `tmp/macos/dist` based partly on information in a very helpful [StackOverflow answer][so-answer]. Note the part of the answer (toward the end) that explains a problem with the working directory and how to fix it. That's the reason for the `nim_status_client.sh` script introduced in this commit (it gets copied into the bundle). It's also the reason for having `Info.plist` copied into the bundle before `macdeployqt` is run (see below) and then overwriting it with `Info.runner.plist` before creating the `.dmg` file. The app icons file `status-icon.icns` was taken from `deployment/macos/` in the [status-react][sr] repo. The [`macdeployqt`][macdeployqt] tool is used to copy the needed portions of Qt into the bundle; it automatically updates `rpath`, etc. so the `nim_status_client` executable in the bundle can locate the libs within the bundle. `macdeployqt` is run twice, for the "outer" and "inner" `.app` bundles, because of an apparent bug in `macdeployqt` that results in QtWebEngine related resources not being processed correctly on the first pass. This results in some bloat in the final bundle but it seems unavoidable at present. The [create-dmg][cdmg] tool is used to package the bundle into a `.dmg` file. There are two reasons for this: 1. It produces a nice looking icon for the `.dmg` that overlays the Status logo on an external disk icon. 2. `Info.plist` needs to be overwritten after running `macdeployqt` (see explanation above) but before creating the `.dmg` file. If we passed the `-dmg` cli option to `macdeployqt` to have it generate the `.dmg` file then it wouldn't be possible to overwrite `Info.plist`. So there is a cosmetic reason and a practical reason for using another tool. Probably the biggest downside is that `create-dmg` is implemented in Node.js so it needs to be installed with `npm`; that's the reason this commit introduces `package.json`, etc. Note that zero code from `node_modules` ends up in the `.app` bundle or the `.dmg` file. Code signing of the macOS `.app` bundle and `.dmg` is attempted if the environment variable `MACOS_CODESIGN_IDENT` is defined. In that case, the environment variable `MACOS_KEYCHAIN_OPT` may optionally be defined with the path to a preferred keychain database file. Refactor a number of sections in the Makefile for consistency's sake, e.g. the `appimage` target becomes `pkg-linux` and ultimately results in `NimStatusClient-x86_64.AppImage` being written to `pkg/`. Make a number of changes to bring the Linux packaging steps up-to-date and use the `-qmlimport` cli option of `linuxdeployqt` to simplify resolution of Qt plugins. Note that `make pkg` will correctly resolve to `make pkg-linux` or `make pkg-macos` depending on the OS in use. Consistently use lower-case "c" in the name of *components* directories and imports.

$(DMG_TOOL):
build: enhance build system so that it can run directly on Windows Replaces #82, which in any case is out-of-date re: the current state of this repo's Makefile. Introduces the ability to build `nim_status_client.exe` directly on Windows, i.e. without needing to use Windows Subsystem for Linux or otherwise cross-compile on Linux. Note: this commit does not introduce packaging or code signing for the Windows build as those pieces are still a work in progress. The `make` targets should be run in a Bash shell, e.g. in *Git Bash* as included in the installation of [Git for Windows][git-win]. [Microsoft Visual C++ Build Tools][ms-build] must be installed. Qt's `MSVC 2017 64-bit` and `MinGW 7.3.0 64-bit` toolchains must both be installed, e.g. with the Qt Online Installer tool. CMake needs to be installed; it is available via the Qt Online Installer tool under *Developer and Designer Tools* (`CMake 3.17.1 64-bit`). A couple of additional tools need to be installed (e.g. with [scoop][scoop]) and availble in `PATH`: * findutils * go For `.dll` resolution to function as needed, in a Bash shell `PATH` should be modified like this (might be different depending on how/where things were installed): ```bash export QTBASE="/c/Qt" export QTDIR="${QTBASE}/5.14.2/msvc2017_64" export PATH="${HOME}/scoop/shims:${PATH}" export PATH="${QTDIR}/bin:${PATH}" export PATH="${QTBASE}/Tools/mingw730_64/bin:${PATH}" export PATH="${QTBASE}/Tools/CMake_64/bin:${PATH}" ``` With those modifications in place, to build `nim_status_client.exe` do: ``` mingw32-make.exe V=1 ``` To run the executable do: ``` mingw32-make.exe run ``` [git-win]: https://gitforwindows.org/ [ms-build]: https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools/ [scoop]: https://scoop.sh/

feat: command-line option can be used to specify app's data directory In the repo: ``` $ bin/nim_status_client --help ``` In the packaged app (macOS example): ``` $ cd /Applications/Status.app/Contents/MacOS $ ./nim_status_client --help ``` Output: ``` Usage: nim_status_client [OPTIONS]... The following options are available: -d, --dataDir Status Desktop data directory. ``` **Using the option** ``` $ cd ~/status-ci-builds/master/Status.app/Contents/MacOS $ ./nim_status_client --dataDir:"${HOME}/status-dirs/master" ``` In another terminal: ``` $ cd ~/status-ci-builds/PR-4242/Status.app/Contents/MacOS $ ./nim_status_client --dataDir:"${HOME}/status-dirs/PR-4242" ``` The path supplied can be relative or absolute, and can be specified with `--dataDir:[path]`, `--dataDir=[path]`, `-d:[path]`, or `-d=[path]`. Either `:` or `=` must be used, i.e. this *will not* work: `--dataDir [path]` or `-d [path]`. The name of the option follows Nim's partial case-insensitivity rules, so `--dataDir`, `--datadir`, and `--data_dir` are all equivalent. See [Identifier equality][ieq] in the Nim Manual. It is possible to run the same build in multiple terminals by supplying different `--dataDir`, i.e. this works: ``` $ cd /Applications/Status.app/Contents/MacOS $ ./nim_status_client --dataDir="${HOME}/temp/some1" ``` In another terminal: ``` $ cd /Applications/Status.app/Contents/MacOS $ ./nim_status_client --dataDir="${HOME}/temp/some2" ``` **Windows** It is recommended to use a Git Bash or MSYS2 terminal when invoking `bin/nim_status_client.exe` (development build) or `bin/Status.exe` (production build) on the command-line. The reason is that if the exe is invoked in a session of `cmd.exe` it will return to the prompt immediately; the app will run but there will be no output in the terminal. In any case, the `--dataDir` option will take effect whether the exe is invoked in `cmd.exe` or a recommended terminal. For development builds, when invoking `bin/nim_status_client.exe` directly instead of via `make run`, because e.g. you wish to use the `--dataDir` option, it is required to first setup the `PATH` environment variable correctly. See the `run-windows` target in this repo's Makefile for more information. **Linux** The `--dataDir` option may be passed to command-line invocation of a production (AppImage) build in the same way as passing it to a development build: ``` $ Status.AppImage --dataDir:/path/to/wherever ``` For development builds, when invoking `bin/nim_status_client` directly instead of via `make run`, because e.g. you wish to use the `--dataDir` option, it is required to setup the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` environment variable correctly. See the `run-linux` target in this repo's Makefile for more information. --- BREAKING CHANGE: The `qt` subdir of the app's data directory is now a sibling of the status-go directory rather than a subdir of the status-go directory: ``` Status (app data directory) ├── data (status-go directory) ├── qt └── tmp ``` Because app settings are stored in the `qt` directory that means that existing installations will lose their customized settings. At app startup, it would be possible to detect `Status/data/qt` and if `Status/qt` doesn't exist yet then copy `Status/data/qt` to `Status/qt`. However, there was some concern that behavior could lead to problems later on if we forget the workaround is in place. So for now that settings preservation strategy has not been implemented, but it might be before this commit is merged pending full team awareness/consensus. --- Command-line option support is provided by [nim-confutils](https://github.com/status-im/nim-confutils). The environment variable `NIM_STATUS_CLIENT_DEV` has been removed in favor of passing a "define" option to the Nim compiler: `-d:development` for development builds (e.g. `make V=1`) and `-d:production` for packaged builds (e.g. `make V=1 pkg`). Passing the correct option is handled automatically by the Makefile. A make variable named `RELEASE` has been introduced, which defaults to `false`. Presently the `RELEASE` variable should not be set on the command-line nor in CI as more work needs to be done to toggle the proper compiler flags. In the case of Status Desktop, "release vs. debug" is a concern orthogonal to "production vs. development". At present, production builds and development builds are all debug builds, but that will likely change in the future: we can have non-release CI production builds and local development builds be debug builds, while release builds in CI would be production builds with `RELEASE=true` (the compiled executable will be fully optimized). Prior to the changes in this PR, symmetry is somewhat lacking between development and production (packaged) builds with respect to the concept of the "data directory". In development builds the root of the repo effectively serves as the `Status` directory used by production builds, e.g. on macOS `~/Library/Application Support/Status`. Also, there's a bit of confusion as to whether "data directory" refers to a directory for the desktop app's overall data (including status-go data) or to the specific directory used by status-go. This PR attempts to provide symmetry and reduce confusion: * The term "data directory" means the directory used by the desktop app to store multiple kinds of data and is not a reference to the subdirectory used by status-go. * For development builds the "data directory" defaults to `./Status/` relative to the root of the repo. * For production builds the "data directory" default is the same as before, e.g. on macOS it's ` ~/Library/Application Support/Status/`. The directory used by status-go is `Status/data/`. To be clear, that should be referred to as the "status-go directory" and not the app's "data directory". It would nice if we could rename it from `Status/data/` to `Status/status-go/`. We can do that, I already checked that it works correctly; however, for existing installations it would require that at app launch we check for the presence of `Status/data/` and rename it to `Status/status-go`. While simple enough to do, I was concerned that there might be edge cases where the directory rename could cause a problem (e.g. if another copy of the app is running) so chose for now to stick with the status-go directory being `Status/data/`. --- **NOTES** More work needs to be done to ensure that all data written by the app is contained in the default or cli-specified data directory. Currently, both development and production (packaged) builds are writing to common directories outside of the data directory, e.g. located within `~/Library/` on macOS. Changing that behavior seems like it will mainly involve changing defaults related to Qt components such as the web engine. See: https://github.com/status-im/status-desktop/issues/1141. In general, additional refactoring could be done in the future. For example, implementing `StatusDesktopConfig` in `src/status/libstatus/accounts/constants.nim` (as done in this PR) works fine for now, but better code organization is desirable. --- Closes #2268 [ieq]: https://nim-lang.org/docs/manual.html#lexical-analysis-identifier-equality

$(STATUS_CLIENT_DMG): override RESOURCES_LAYOUT := -d:production
$(STATUS_CLIENT_DMG): nim_status_client $(DMG_TOOL)
chore: refactor Linux and macOS build/packaging steps Replaces PR #105. Implement a `pkg-macos` target that ultimately results in `Status.dmg` being written to `pkg/`. Due to [limitations][limits] of the OpenSSL `.dylib`s in `/usr/lib/` on macOS, `libssl.a` and `libcrypto.a` are statically linked into `bin/nim_status_client` from a [Homebrew][brew] "bottle" that is compatible with macOS 10.13 (the oldest macOS version compatible with Qt v5.14). `pkg-macos` creates an `.app` bundle layout in `tmp/macos/dist` based partly on information in a very helpful [StackOverflow answer][so-answer]. Note the part of the answer (toward the end) that explains a problem with the working directory and how to fix it. That's the reason for the `nim_status_client.sh` script introduced in this commit (it gets copied into the bundle). It's also the reason for having `Info.plist` copied into the bundle before `macdeployqt` is run (see below) and then overwriting it with `Info.runner.plist` before creating the `.dmg` file. The app icons file `status-icon.icns` was taken from `deployment/macos/` in the [status-react][sr] repo. The [`macdeployqt`][macdeployqt] tool is used to copy the needed portions of Qt into the bundle; it automatically updates `rpath`, etc. so the `nim_status_client` executable in the bundle can locate the libs within the bundle. `macdeployqt` is run twice, for the "outer" and "inner" `.app` bundles, because of an apparent bug in `macdeployqt` that results in QtWebEngine related resources not being processed correctly on the first pass. This results in some bloat in the final bundle but it seems unavoidable at present. The [create-dmg][cdmg] tool is used to package the bundle into a `.dmg` file. There are two reasons for this: 1. It produces a nice looking icon for the `.dmg` that overlays the Status logo on an external disk icon. 2. `Info.plist` needs to be overwritten after running `macdeployqt` (see explanation above) but before creating the `.dmg` file. If we passed the `-dmg` cli option to `macdeployqt` to have it generate the `.dmg` file then it wouldn't be possible to overwrite `Info.plist`. So there is a cosmetic reason and a practical reason for using another tool. Probably the biggest downside is that `create-dmg` is implemented in Node.js so it needs to be installed with `npm`; that's the reason this commit introduces `package.json`, etc. Note that zero code from `node_modules` ends up in the `.app` bundle or the `.dmg` file. Code signing of the macOS `.app` bundle and `.dmg` is attempted if the environment variable `MACOS_CODESIGN_IDENT` is defined. In that case, the environment variable `MACOS_KEYCHAIN_OPT` may optionally be defined with the path to a preferred keychain database file. Refactor a number of sections in the Makefile for consistency's sake, e.g. the `appimage` target becomes `pkg-linux` and ultimately results in `NimStatusClient-x86_64.AppImage` being written to `pkg/`. Make a number of changes to bring the Linux packaging steps up-to-date and use the `-qmlimport` cli option of `linuxdeployqt` to simplify resolution of Qt plugins. Note that `make pkg` will correctly resolve to `make pkg-linux` or `make pkg-macos` depending on the OS in use. Consistently use lower-case "c" in the name of *components* directories and imports.

The [`macdeployqt`][macdeployqt] tool is used to copy the needed portions of Qt into the bundle; it automatically updates `rpath`, etc. so the `nim_status_client` executable in the bundle can locate the libs within the bundle. `macdeployqt` is run twice, for the "outer" and "inner" `.app` bundles, because of an apparent bug in `macdeployqt` that results in QtWebEngine related resources not being processed correctly on the first pass. This results in some bloat in the final bundle but it seems unavoidable at present. The [create-dmg][cdmg] tool is used to package the bundle into a `.dmg` file. There are two reasons for this: 1. It produces a nice looking icon for the `.dmg` that overlays the Status logo on an external disk icon. 2. `Info.plist` needs to be overwritten after running `macdeployqt` (see explanation above) but before creating the `.dmg` file. If we passed the `-dmg` cli option to `macdeployqt` to have it generate the `.dmg` file then it wouldn't be possible to overwrite `Info.plist`. So there is a cosmetic reason and a practical reason for using another tool. Probably the biggest downside is that `create-dmg` is implemented in Node.js so it needs to be installed with `npm`; that's the reason this commit introduces `package.json`, etc. Note that zero code from `node_modules` ends up in the `.app` bundle or the `.dmg` file. Code signing of the macOS `.app` bundle and `.dmg` is attempted if the environment variable `MACOS_CODESIGN_IDENT` is defined. In that case, the environment variable `MACOS_KEYCHAIN_OPT` may optionally be defined with the path to a preferred keychain database file. Refactor a number of sections in the Makefile for consistency's sake, e.g. the `appimage` target becomes `pkg-linux` and ultimately results in `NimStatusClient-x86_64.AppImage` being written to `pkg/`. Make a number of changes to bring the Linux packaging steps up-to-date and use the `-qmlimport` cli option of `linuxdeployqt` to simplify resolution of Qt plugins. Note that `make pkg` will correctly resolve to `make pkg-linux` or `make pkg-macos` depending on the OS in use. Consistently use lower-case "c" in the name of *components* directories and imports.

chore: refactor Linux and macOS build/packaging steps Replaces PR #105. Implement a `pkg-macos` target that ultimately results in `Status.dmg` being written to `pkg/`.

build: implement packaging steps for the Windows build Implement a `pkg-windows` target that ultimately results in `Status.zip` being written to `pkg/`. Note: this commit does not introduce code signing for the Windows build since that piece is still a work in progress. `pkg-windows` creates a portable folder in `tmp/windows/dist` with the help of [`windeployqt`][windeployqt], which copies the needed portions of Qt into the folder. Since DLL resolution is relatively inflexible, a launcher `Status.exe` is created at the top-level of the folder; the launcher opens `bin/Status.exe` while adding the portable folder's `bin/` to the `PATH`, allowing `bin/Status.exe` to resolve the DLLs in that folder. A few additional tools need to be installed (e.g. with [scoop][scoop]) and availble in `PATH`: * 7-zip * dos2unix (provides unix2dos) * findutils * go * rcedit * wget The above list builds on the tools list in PR #521, and the other requirements and instructions in that PR's description still apply. **Why not build an installer?** When starting work on packaging for the Windows build, my initial plan was to build an installer, and for that purpose I researched the [WiX Toolset][wix], the [Qt Installer Framework][qtif], and some other options. I found that building an installer is a bit complex. I then recalled, from personal experience, that [Cmder][cmder]'s [Mini download][mini] is installer-less. You simply unzip the download and place the `cmder_mini` folder wherever you prefer. Such an approach was also recommended to me in one of the Nim language's community chats. In addition to being simpler, the installer-less approach also gives installation of Status Desktop a lower profile than an installer-application would since nothing is written to the Windows registry, added to the *Add or remove programs* list, etc. I think that's a benefit given the privacy-security focus of Status, but others may feel differently so please provide feedback on this point!

feat: command-line option can be used to specify app's data directory In the repo: ``` $ bin/nim_status_client --help ``` In the packaged app (macOS example): ``` $ cd /Applications/Status.app/Contents/MacOS $ ./nim_status_client --help ``` Output: ``` Usage: nim_status_client [OPTIONS]... The following options are available: -d, --dataDir Status Desktop data directory. ``` **Using the option** ``` $ cd ~/status-ci-builds/master/Status.app/Contents/MacOS $ ./nim_status_client --dataDir:"${HOME}/status-dirs/master" ``` In another terminal: ``` $ cd ~/status-ci-builds/PR-4242/Status.app/Contents/MacOS $ ./nim_status_client --dataDir:"${HOME}/status-dirs/PR-4242" ``` The path supplied can be relative or absolute, and can be specified with `--dataDir:[path]`, `--dataDir=[path]`, `-d:[path]`, or `-d=[path]`. Either `:` or `=` must be used, i.e. this *will not* work: `--dataDir [path]` or `-d [path]`. The name of the option follows Nim's partial case-insensitivity rules, so `--dataDir`, `--datadir`, and `--data_dir` are all equivalent. See [Identifier equality][ieq] in the Nim Manual. It is possible to run the same build in multiple terminals by supplying different `--dataDir`, i.e. this works: ``` $ cd /Applications/Status.app/Contents/MacOS $ ./nim_status_client --dataDir="${HOME}/temp/some1" ``` In another terminal: ``` $ cd /Applications/Status.app/Contents/MacOS $ ./nim_status_client --dataDir="${HOME}/temp/some2" ``` **Windows** It is recommended to use a Git Bash or MSYS2 terminal when invoking `bin/nim_status_client.exe` (development build) or `bin/Status.exe` (production build) on the command-line. The reason is that if the exe is invoked in a session of `cmd.exe` it will return to the prompt immediately; the app will run but there will be no output in the terminal. In any case, the `--dataDir` option will take effect whether the exe is invoked in `cmd.exe` or a recommended terminal. For development builds, when invoking `bin/nim_status_client.exe` directly instead of via `make run`, because e.g. you wish to use the `--dataDir` option, it is required to first setup the `PATH` environment variable correctly. See the `run-windows` target in this repo's Makefile for more information. **Linux** The `--dataDir` option may be passed to command-line invocation of a production (AppImage) build in the same way as passing it to a development build: ``` $ Status.AppImage --dataDir:/path/to/wherever ``` For development builds, when invoking `bin/nim_status_client` directly instead of via `make run`, because e.g. you wish to use the `--dataDir` option, it is required to setup the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` environment variable correctly. See the `run-linux` target in this repo's Makefile for more information. --- BREAKING CHANGE: The `qt` subdir of the app's data directory is now a sibling of the status-go directory rather than a subdir of the status-go directory: ``` Status (app data directory) ├── data (status-go directory) ├── qt └── tmp ``` Because app settings are stored in the `qt` directory that means that existing installations will lose their customized settings. At app startup, it would be possible to detect `Status/data/qt` and if `Status/qt` doesn't exist yet then copy `Status/data/qt` to `Status/qt`. However, there was some concern that behavior could lead to problems later on if we forget the workaround is in place. So for now that settings preservation strategy has not been implemented, but it might be before this commit is merged pending full team awareness/consensus. --- Command-line option support is provided by [nim-confutils](https://github.com/status-im/nim-confutils). The environment variable `NIM_STATUS_CLIENT_DEV` has been removed in favor of passing a "define" option to the Nim compiler: `-d:development` for development builds (e.g. `make V=1`) and `-d:production` for packaged builds (e.g. `make V=1 pkg`). Passing the correct option is handled automatically by the Makefile. A make variable named `RELEASE` has been introduced, which defaults to `false`. Presently the `RELEASE` variable should not be set on the command-line nor in CI as more work needs to be done to toggle the proper compiler flags. In the case of Status Desktop, "release vs. debug" is a concern orthogonal to "production vs. development". At present, production builds and development builds are all debug builds, but that will likely change in the future: we can have non-release CI production builds and local development builds be debug builds, while release builds in CI would be production builds with `RELEASE=true` (the compiled executable will be fully optimized). Prior to the changes in this PR, symmetry is somewhat lacking between development and production (packaged) builds with respect to the concept of the "data directory". In development builds the root of the repo effectively serves as the `Status` directory used by production builds, e.g. on macOS `~/Library/Application Support/Status`. Also, there's a bit of confusion as to whether "data directory" refers to a directory for the desktop app's overall data (including status-go data) or to the specific directory used by status-go. This PR attempts to provide symmetry and reduce confusion: * The term "data directory" means the directory used by the desktop app to store multiple kinds of data and is not a reference to the subdirectory used by status-go. * For development builds the "data directory" defaults to `./Status/` relative to the root of the repo. * For production builds the "data directory" default is the same as before, e.g. on macOS it's ` ~/Library/Application Support/Status/`. The directory used by status-go is `Status/data/`. To be clear, that should be referred to as the "status-go directory" and not the app's "data directory". It would nice if we could rename it from `Status/data/` to `Status/status-go/`. We can do that, I already checked that it works correctly; however, for existing installations it would require that at app launch we check for the presence of `Status/data/` and rename it to `Status/status-go`. While simple enough to do, I was concerned that there might be edge cases where the directory rename could cause a problem (e.g. if another copy of the app is running) so chose for now to stick with the status-go directory being `Status/data/`. --- **NOTES** More work needs to be done to ensure that all data written by the app is contained in the default or cli-specified data directory. Currently, both development and production (packaged) builds are writing to common directories outside of the data directory, e.g. located within `~/Library/` on macOS. Changing that behavior seems like it will mainly involve changing defaults related to Qt components such as the web engine. See: https://github.com/status-im/status-desktop/issues/1141. In general, additional refactoring could be done in the future. For example, implementing `StatusDesktopConfig` in `src/status/libstatus/accounts/constants.nim` (as done in this PR) works fine for now, but better code organization is desirable. --- Closes #2268 [ieq]: https://nim-lang.org/docs/manual.html#lexical-analysis-identifier-equality

Since DLL resolution is relatively inflexible, a launcher `Status.exe` is created at the top-level of the folder; the launcher opens `bin/Status.exe` while adding the portable folder's `bin/` to the `PATH`, allowing `bin/Status.exe` to resolve the DLLs in that folder. A few additional tools need to be installed (e.g. with [scoop][scoop]) and availble in `PATH`: * 7-zip * dos2unix (provides unix2dos) * findutils * go * rcedit * wget The above list builds on the tools list in PR #521, and the other requirements and instructions in that PR's description still apply. **Why not build an installer?** When starting work on packaging for the Windows build, my initial plan was to build an installer, and for that purpose I researched the [WiX Toolset][wix], the [Qt Installer Framework][qtif], and some other options. I found that building an installer is a bit complex. I then recalled, from personal experience, that [Cmder][cmder]'s [Mini download][mini] is installer-less. You simply unzip the download and place the `cmder_mini` folder wherever you prefer. Such an approach was also recommended to me in one of the Nim language's community chats. In addition to being simpler, the installer-less approach also gives installation of Status Desktop a lower profile than an installer-application would since nothing is written to the Windows registry, added to the *Add or remove programs* list, etc. I think that's a benefit given the privacy-security focus of Status, but others may feel differently so please provide feedback on this point!

# if WINDOWS_CODESIGN_PFX_PATH is not set then DLLs, EXEs are not signed
build: implement code signing step for the Windows build Add a code signing step to the `pkg-windows` target. If the environment variable `WINDOWS_CODESIGN_PFX_PATH` is not set then code signing is skipped. If the environment variable `WINDOWS_CODESIGN_TIMESTAMP_URL` is not set then a verified timestamp will not be included in the signature. Both variables should be set in production/CI builds. Signing is performed with Window's [SignTool][signtool]. There is a helpful [Stack Overflow answer][soa] which explains how to easily setup a self-signed CA and code signing certificate and then use them with `signtool`, which is how I tested these changes on my local Windows machine. Absolute paths are used for `egrep`, `xargs`, and `bash` to avoid accidentally running other installations of those executables than the ones that ship with Git Bash. I was experiencing mysterious failures in the sequence of commands and then noticed that e.g. `which xargs` was resolving to an executable in `${HOME}/scoop/shims`. I tested locally that the signed DLLs and EXEs run correctly on Windows 7 and Windows 10. For CI builds Status will need to acquire a signing certificate from e.g. DigiCert. There will be a yearly renewal cost. In researching what files should be signed, I concluded that it only makes sense to sign `.dll` and `.exe` files. It's possible to generate signatures for other file types but the signatures would have to be stored apart from those files, unlike `.dll` and `.exe` where the signature is embedded in the executable. Also, it doesn't seem to be possible to embed a signature in a `.zip` file, though it would be possible to sign the compressed package if we chose to build and distribute a self-extracting `Status.exe` instead of `Status.zip`. If a DLL or EXE file is already validly signed, e.g. the Qt DLLs, `signtool.exe sign` is not invoked on that file. Closes #288.

build: enhance build system so that it can run directly on Windows Replaces #82, which in any case is out-of-date re: the current state of this repo's Makefile. Introduces the ability to build `nim_status_client.exe` directly on Windows, i.e. without needing to use Windows Subsystem for Linux or otherwise cross-compile on Linux. Note: this commit does not introduce packaging or code signing for the Windows build as those pieces are still a work in progress. The `make` targets should be run in a Bash shell, e.g. in *Git Bash* as included in the installation of [Git for Windows][git-win]. [Microsoft Visual C++ Build Tools][ms-build] must be installed. Qt's `MSVC 2017 64-bit` and `MinGW 7.3.0 64-bit` toolchains must both be installed, e.g. with the Qt Online Installer tool. CMake needs to be installed; it is available via the Qt Online Installer tool under *Developer and Designer Tools* (`CMake 3.17.1 64-bit`). A couple of additional tools need to be installed (e.g. with [scoop][scoop]) and availble in `PATH`: * findutils * go For `.dll` resolution to function as needed, in a Bash shell `PATH` should be modified like this (might be different depending on how/where things were installed): ```bash export QTBASE="/c/Qt" export QTDIR="${QTBASE}/5.14.2/msvc2017_64" export PATH="${HOME}/scoop/shims:${PATH}" export PATH="${QTDIR}/bin:${PATH}" export PATH="${QTBASE}/Tools/mingw730_64/bin:${PATH}" export PATH="${QTBASE}/Tools/CMake_64/bin:${PATH}" ``` With those modifications in place, to build `nim_status_client.exe` do: ``` mingw32-make.exe V=1 ``` To run the executable do: ``` mingw32-make.exe run ``` [git-win]: https://gitforwindows.org/ [ms-build]: https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools/ [scoop]: https://scoop.sh/

chore: refactor Linux and macOS build/packaging steps Replaces PR #105. Implement a `pkg-macos` target that ultimately results in `Status.dmg` being written to `pkg/`. Due to [limitations][limits] of the OpenSSL `.dylib`s in `/usr/lib/` on macOS, `libssl.a` and `libcrypto.a` are statically linked into `bin/nim_status_client` from a [Homebrew][brew] "bottle" that is compatible with macOS 10.13 (the oldest macOS version compatible with Qt v5.14). `pkg-macos` creates an `.app` bundle layout in `tmp/macos/dist` based partly on information in a very helpful [StackOverflow answer][so-answer]. Note the part of the answer (toward the end) that explains a problem with the working directory and how to fix it. That's the reason for the `nim_status_client.sh` script introduced in this commit (it gets copied into the bundle). It's also the reason for having `Info.plist` copied into the bundle before `macdeployqt` is run (see below) and then overwriting it with `Info.runner.plist` before creating the `.dmg` file. The app icons file `status-icon.icns` was taken from `deployment/macos/` in the [status-react][sr] repo. The [`macdeployqt`][macdeployqt] tool is used to copy the needed portions of Qt into the bundle; it automatically updates `rpath`, etc. so the `nim_status_client` executable in the bundle can locate the libs within the bundle. `macdeployqt` is run twice, for the "outer" and "inner" `.app` bundles, because of an apparent bug in `macdeployqt` that results in QtWebEngine related resources not being processed correctly on the first pass. This results in some bloat in the final bundle but it seems unavoidable at present. The [create-dmg][cdmg] tool is used to package the bundle into a `.dmg` file. There are two reasons for this: 1. It produces a nice looking icon for the `.dmg` that overlays the Status logo on an external disk icon. 2. `Info.plist` needs to be overwritten after running `macdeployqt` (see explanation above) but before creating the `.dmg` file. If we passed the `-dmg` cli option to `macdeployqt` to have it generate the `.dmg` file then it wouldn't be possible to overwrite `Info.plist`. So there is a cosmetic reason and a practical reason for using another tool. Probably the biggest downside is that `create-dmg` is implemented in Node.js so it needs to be installed with `npm`; that's the reason this commit introduces `package.json`, etc. Note that zero code from `node_modules` ends up in the `.app` bundle or the `.dmg` file. Code signing of the macOS `.app` bundle and `.dmg` is attempted if the environment variable `MACOS_CODESIGN_IDENT` is defined. In that case, the environment variable `MACOS_KEYCHAIN_OPT` may optionally be defined with the path to a preferred keychain database file. Refactor a number of sections in the Makefile for consistency's sake, e.g. the `appimage` target becomes `pkg-linux` and ultimately results in `NimStatusClient-x86_64.AppImage` being written to `pkg/`. Make a number of changes to bring the Linux packaging steps up-to-date and use the `-qmlimport` cli option of `linuxdeployqt` to simplify resolution of Qt plugins. Note that `make pkg` will correctly resolve to `make pkg-linux` or `make pkg-macos` depending on the OS in use. Consistently use lower-case "c" in the name of *components* directories and imports.

If we passed the `-dmg` cli option to `macdeployqt` to have it generate the `.dmg` file then it wouldn't be possible to overwrite `Info.plist`. So there is a cosmetic reason and a practical reason for using another tool. Probably the biggest downside is that `create-dmg` is implemented in Node.js so it needs to be installed with `npm`; that's the reason this commit introduces `package.json`, etc. Note that zero code from `node_modules` ends up in the `.app` bundle or the `.dmg` file. Code signing of the macOS `.app` bundle and `.dmg` is attempted if the environment variable `MACOS_CODESIGN_IDENT` is defined. In that case, the environment variable `MACOS_KEYCHAIN_OPT` may optionally be defined with the path to a preferred keychain database file. Refactor a number of sections in the Makefile for consistency's sake, e.g. the `appimage` target becomes `pkg-linux` and ultimately results in `NimStatusClient-x86_64.AppImage` being written to `pkg/`. Make a number of changes to bring the Linux packaging steps up-to-date and use the `-qmlimport` cli option of `linuxdeployqt` to simplify resolution of Qt plugins. Note that `make pkg` will correctly resolve to `make pkg-linux` or `make pkg-macos` depending on the OS in use. Consistently use lower-case "c" in the name of *components* directories and imports.

build: enhance build system so that it can run directly on Windows Replaces #82, which in any case is out-of-date re: the current state of this repo's Makefile. Introduces the ability to build `nim_status_client.exe` directly on Windows, i.e. without needing to use Windows Subsystem for Linux or otherwise cross-compile on Linux. Note: this commit does not introduce packaging or code signing for the Windows build as those pieces are still a work in progress. The `make` targets should be run in a Bash shell, e.g. in *Git Bash* as included in the installation of [Git for Windows][git-win]. [Microsoft Visual C++ Build Tools][ms-build] must be installed. Qt's `MSVC 2017 64-bit` and `MinGW 7.3.0 64-bit` toolchains must both be installed, e.g. with the Qt Online Installer tool. CMake needs to be installed; it is available via the Qt Online Installer tool under *Developer and Designer Tools* (`CMake 3.17.1 64-bit`). A couple of additional tools need to be installed (e.g. with [scoop][scoop]) and availble in `PATH`: * findutils * go For `.dll` resolution to function as needed, in a Bash shell `PATH` should be modified like this (might be different depending on how/where things were installed): ```bash export QTBASE="/c/Qt" export QTDIR="${QTBASE}/5.14.2/msvc2017_64" export PATH="${HOME}/scoop/shims:${PATH}" export PATH="${QTDIR}/bin:${PATH}" export PATH="${QTBASE}/Tools/mingw730_64/bin:${PATH}" export PATH="${QTBASE}/Tools/CMake_64/bin:${PATH}" ``` With those modifications in place, to build `nim_status_client.exe` do: ``` mingw32-make.exe V=1 ``` To run the executable do: ``` mingw32-make.exe run ``` [git-win]: https://gitforwindows.org/ [ms-build]: https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools/ [scoop]: https://scoop.sh/

feat: command-line option can be used to specify app's data directory In the repo: ``` $ bin/nim_status_client --help ``` In the packaged app (macOS example): ``` $ cd /Applications/Status.app/Contents/MacOS $ ./nim_status_client --help ``` Output: ``` Usage: nim_status_client [OPTIONS]... The following options are available: -d, --dataDir Status Desktop data directory. ``` **Using the option** ``` $ cd ~/status-ci-builds/master/Status.app/Contents/MacOS $ ./nim_status_client --dataDir:"${HOME}/status-dirs/master" ``` In another terminal: ``` $ cd ~/status-ci-builds/PR-4242/Status.app/Contents/MacOS $ ./nim_status_client --dataDir:"${HOME}/status-dirs/PR-4242" ``` The path supplied can be relative or absolute, and can be specified with `--dataDir:[path]`, `--dataDir=[path]`, `-d:[path]`, or `-d=[path]`. Either `:` or `=` must be used, i.e. this *will not* work: `--dataDir [path]` or `-d [path]`. The name of the option follows Nim's partial case-insensitivity rules, so `--dataDir`, `--datadir`, and `--data_dir` are all equivalent. See [Identifier equality][ieq] in the Nim Manual. It is possible to run the same build in multiple terminals by supplying different `--dataDir`, i.e. this works: ``` $ cd /Applications/Status.app/Contents/MacOS $ ./nim_status_client --dataDir="${HOME}/temp/some1" ``` In another terminal: ``` $ cd /Applications/Status.app/Contents/MacOS $ ./nim_status_client --dataDir="${HOME}/temp/some2" ``` **Windows** It is recommended to use a Git Bash or MSYS2 terminal when invoking `bin/nim_status_client.exe` (development build) or `bin/Status.exe` (production build) on the command-line. The reason is that if the exe is invoked in a session of `cmd.exe` it will return to the prompt immediately; the app will run but there will be no output in the terminal. In any case, the `--dataDir` option will take effect whether the exe is invoked in `cmd.exe` or a recommended terminal. For development builds, when invoking `bin/nim_status_client.exe` directly instead of via `make run`, because e.g. you wish to use the `--dataDir` option, it is required to first setup the `PATH` environment variable correctly. See the `run-windows` target in this repo's Makefile for more information. **Linux** The `--dataDir` option may be passed to command-line invocation of a production (AppImage) build in the same way as passing it to a development build: ``` $ Status.AppImage --dataDir:/path/to/wherever ``` For development builds, when invoking `bin/nim_status_client` directly instead of via `make run`, because e.g. you wish to use the `--dataDir` option, it is required to setup the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` environment variable correctly. See the `run-linux` target in this repo's Makefile for more information. --- BREAKING CHANGE: The `qt` subdir of the app's data directory is now a sibling of the status-go directory rather than a subdir of the status-go directory: ``` Status (app data directory) ├── data (status-go directory) ├── qt └── tmp ``` Because app settings are stored in the `qt` directory that means that existing installations will lose their customized settings. At app startup, it would be possible to detect `Status/data/qt` and if `Status/qt` doesn't exist yet then copy `Status/data/qt` to `Status/qt`. However, there was some concern that behavior could lead to problems later on if we forget the workaround is in place. So for now that settings preservation strategy has not been implemented, but it might be before this commit is merged pending full team awareness/consensus. --- Command-line option support is provided by [nim-confutils](https://github.com/status-im/nim-confutils). The environment variable `NIM_STATUS_CLIENT_DEV` has been removed in favor of passing a "define" option to the Nim compiler: `-d:development` for development builds (e.g. `make V=1`) and `-d:production` for packaged builds (e.g. `make V=1 pkg`). Passing the correct option is handled automatically by the Makefile. A make variable named `RELEASE` has been introduced, which defaults to `false`. Presently the `RELEASE` variable should not be set on the command-line nor in CI as more work needs to be done to toggle the proper compiler flags. In the case of Status Desktop, "release vs. debug" is a concern orthogonal to "production vs. development". At present, production builds and development builds are all debug builds, but that will likely change in the future: we can have non-release CI production builds and local development builds be debug builds, while release builds in CI would be production builds with `RELEASE=true` (the compiled executable will be fully optimized). Prior to the changes in this PR, symmetry is somewhat lacking between development and production (packaged) builds with respect to the concept of the "data directory". In development builds the root of the repo effectively serves as the `Status` directory used by production builds, e.g. on macOS `~/Library/Application Support/Status`. Also, there's a bit of confusion as to whether "data directory" refers to a directory for the desktop app's overall data (including status-go data) or to the specific directory used by status-go. This PR attempts to provide symmetry and reduce confusion: * The term "data directory" means the directory used by the desktop app to store multiple kinds of data and is not a reference to the subdirectory used by status-go. * For development builds the "data directory" defaults to `./Status/` relative to the root of the repo. * For production builds the "data directory" default is the same as before, e.g. on macOS it's ` ~/Library/Application Support/Status/`. The directory used by status-go is `Status/data/`. To be clear, that should be referred to as the "status-go directory" and not the app's "data directory". It would nice if we could rename it from `Status/data/` to `Status/status-go/`. We can do that, I already checked that it works correctly; however, for existing installations it would require that at app launch we check for the presence of `Status/data/` and rename it to `Status/status-go`. While simple enough to do, I was concerned that there might be edge cases where the directory rename could cause a problem (e.g. if another copy of the app is running) so chose for now to stick with the status-go directory being `Status/data/`. --- **NOTES** More work needs to be done to ensure that all data written by the app is contained in the default or cli-specified data directory. Currently, both development and production (packaged) builds are writing to common directories outside of the data directory, e.g. located within `~/Library/` on macOS. Changing that behavior seems like it will mainly involve changing defaults related to Qt components such as the web engine. See: https://github.com/status-im/status-desktop/issues/1141. In general, additional refactoring could be done in the future. For example, implementing `StatusDesktopConfig` in `src/status/libstatus/accounts/constants.nim` (as done in this PR) works fine for now, but better code organization is desirable. --- Closes #2268 [ieq]: https://nim-lang.org/docs/manual.html#lexical-analysis-identifier-equality

build: implement packaging steps for the Windows build Implement a `pkg-windows` target that ultimately results in `Status.zip` being written to `pkg/`. Note: this commit does not introduce code signing for the Windows build since that piece is still a work in progress. `pkg-windows` creates a portable folder in `tmp/windows/dist` with the help of [`windeployqt`][windeployqt], which copies the needed portions of Qt into the folder. Since DLL resolution is relatively inflexible, a launcher `Status.exe` is created at the top-level of the folder; the launcher opens `bin/Status.exe` while adding the portable folder's `bin/` to the `PATH`, allowing `bin/Status.exe` to resolve the DLLs in that folder. A few additional tools need to be installed (e.g. with [scoop][scoop]) and availble in `PATH`: * 7-zip * dos2unix (provides unix2dos) * findutils * go * rcedit * wget The above list builds on the tools list in PR #521, and the other requirements and instructions in that PR's description still apply. **Why not build an installer?** When starting work on packaging for the Windows build, my initial plan was to build an installer, and for that purpose I researched the [WiX Toolset][wix], the [Qt Installer Framework][qtif], and some other options. I found that building an installer is a bit complex. I then recalled, from personal experience, that [Cmder][cmder]'s [Mini download][mini] is installer-less. You simply unzip the download and place the `cmder_mini` folder wherever you prefer. Such an approach was also recommended to me in one of the Nim language's community chats. In addition to being simpler, the installer-less approach also gives installation of Status Desktop a lower profile than an installer-application would since nothing is written to the Windows registry, added to the *Add or remove programs* list, etc. I think that's a benefit given the privacy-security focus of Status, but others may feel differently so please provide feedback on this point!
