It fixes build on hosts with multiple QT installations, where
one of them is installed system-wide.
It needs to be separate script, because once the submodules are broken
and the `variables.mk` file is not available from `nimbus-build-system`
then we cannot even call `make clean-git` successfully because it will
be caught by the `if` clause that checks for `variables.mk`.
Possible fix for issues with submodules not being updated in some
windows release builds.

This is a continuation of attempts to fix provlems with Windows CI hosts
getting into a broken state due to `.git` directory becoming a file for
random submodules for unknown reason.
Instead of relying on Jenkins functionality of `cleanWs()` function
provided by the [Workspace Cleanup Plugin](https://plugins.jenkins.io/ws-cleanup)
we use Git which should be more reliable, and possibly also speed up the
initial checkout of the repo and submodules.
A nice side-effect is that the repo checkout on all builds after the first
one takes ~1 minute instead of ~5 minutes.

These changes are a follow-up to #3582.
Also support `REBUILD_NIM=true` and `REBUILD_UI=true` variables so that it's
possible to ensure a rebuild for the next invocation of `make` or `make run`.
Dev docs have been updated: https://hackmd.io/OtFjDnH6QtOl3K65fKKEGg
Also adjust run targets so that e.g. `make -j16 run` works correctly.
Closes#3639.
With these changes it will be easier to maintain, i.e. to add/remove bottles
just modify the `BOTTLES :=` list.
`brew update` is removed from `scripts/fetch-brew-bottle.sh` and instead done
in an [order-only
prerequisite](https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/Prerequisite-Types.html). This
allows multiple bottles to be fetched in parallel (e.g. `make -j16`) without
overlapping invocations of `brew update` (which causes script failure).
This feature works for MacOs only, for now.
On login, whether new or already created user may select between options:
"Store" - store password to the Keychain
"Not now" - don't store it now, but ask next time again
"Never" - don't store them ever and don't ask again
Selected preference may be changed later in:
`ProfileSettings > Privacy and security > Store pass to Keychain`
On the next app run, if `Store` was selected, a user will be asked to confirm
his identity using Touch Id in order to log in the app. If any error happens
he will be able to login using password.
Fixes: #2675

Make the docker-related logic for doing a local packaged build on Linux match
with the Jenkins CI build for Linux.
Also fix the problems with packaged builds for Linux (local or CI) where
gstreamer errors were displayed in the terminal shortly after app start/login
and there was no sound output.
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
It's not supported to run `brew update` multiple times simultaenously. A better
fix for this can be implemented, but for now in the Makefile have target
`bottles/pcre` depend on target `bottles/openssl` so that they run serially
when `-jN` is passed to `make`.
I was originally going to change `brew update >/dev/null` to
`brew update >/dev/null || true` but decided the Makefile change provides a
better guarantee that simultaenous `brew` commands won't interfere with each
other. In the process, I revised some of the script's `echo` output just a bit.
The way it was done previously didn't always produce the intended result (for
unknown reasons), i.e. the dev app would sometimes launch with a transparent
blank square appearing in place of the expected icon.
By default the desktop app uses port 30305, unless a value is specifically set
in environment variable `STATUS_PORT`. For convenience of those developing the
app and running development builds, while simultaneously running production
builds (a.k.a. packaged builds, whether built locally or in CI), have `make
run` invoke `bin/nim_status_client` with `STATUS_PORT=30306`. That value can
still be overriden by manually invoking `make run` with a different value,
e.g. `make STATUS_PORT=30307 run` and `STATUS_PORT=30307 make run` are both
valid and achieve the same effect. NOTE: the port "sticks" in the database
after the first clean run, so when changing ports developers will need to
delete the data dir within their local repository, else the existing database
for dev builds will be stuck using whatever port was used previously. In the
future, we can figure out a means to always update the port setting in the
database just after the login event (but see #1505).
Also, for development builds use an icon (for the running app) that is
orangered (`#ff4500`) instead of the official blue color. This makes it much
easier to select between a running production instance and development instance
when Cmd-Tab'ing (on macOS, or equiv on Linux and Windows) through open
applications. Not all icons displayed at runtime have been changed in this
manner for development builds, just the main application icon, and that seems
to be sufficient to achieve the desired effect; though in the future we could
do similar for notification icon, menu bar icon, etc.
In the context of Windows packaged builds, this is consistent with other
resources needed by the application; organizing them in this way keeps the
top-level directory of Windows packaged builds clear of files that most users
should never have to see or think about.
Allow environmental override at runtime. Also, in the Makefile set a free-tier
default token so that setting up an Infura account isn't strictly necessary for
community contributors to build the app, even though in our docs it should be
recommended they do so.
Core contributors should setup their own free-tier Infura account, create a
key, and set it in the environment variable INFURA_TOKEN in their environment
used to build the desktop app locally.
There is one aspect of this work that is incomplete. Ideally, in the handler
for the `login` event the relevant settings in the database should always be
updated with the resolved Infura key. However, when calling
`getSetting[string](Setting.Networks_Networks)` in the handler it causes a
segfault every time. Neither the reason for the crash nor a workaround have
been worked out at this time.
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.

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!

If the environment variable `NIM_STATUS_CLIENT_DEV` is not empty then the
`./data` dir is created/used relative to the current working directory, as was
always the case prior to the changes introduced in this commit.
`NIM_STATUS_CLIENT_DEV` is set to `t` when doing `make run`. To get the
production behavior in development do:
```
$ NIM_STATUS_CLIENT_DEV="" make run
```
or on Windows in a Bash shell:
```
$ NIM_STATUS_CLIENT_DEV="" mingw32-make run
```
Closes#391
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
```
