textmate2: build fails on Mavericks, "code object is not signed at all"

[lpsinger (Leo Singer)]

textmate2 fails to build on Mavericks. The issue seems to be related to changes in code signing on Mavericks. The relevant part of the log (attached) is:

[900/901] cp -p /opt/local/var/macports/build/_Users_lady3jane_ports-local_editors_textmate2/textmate2/work/textmate-2.0-alpha.9487/build/Applications/TextMate/about/Contributions.html /opt/local/var/macports/build/_Users_lady3jane_ports-local_editors_textmate2/textmate2/work/textmate-2.0-alpha.9487/build/Applications/TextMate/TextMate.app/Contents/Resources/Contributions.html

Had the same error message, in addition to others (see Ticket #41060). When I went into the Textmate build directory (/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_editors_textmate2/textmate2/work/textmate-2.0-alpha.9487/build/Applications/TextMate), there is a Textmate.app bundle which is actually functional! I copied it to my /Applications folder and as far as I can tell, it works properly despite the code sign error message. Something still needs to be tweaked, but at least build actually produces a working product.

Found fix to build textmate2 cleanly. Need to change build.ninja file at line 123 from

  command = codesign -fs "$identity" $in && touch $out

to

  command = codesign --deep -fs "$identity" $in && touch $out

Thanks, that might be helpful. I'll try to get to this as soon as my rebuild cycle hits textmate2, but unfortunately I think it will be at least a couple of days until that happens (my box is slow, I have lots of ports installed and we don't have a buildbot yet). If somebody wants to take this upstream or commit this to the textmate2 before I have a chance to do so, feel free.

Would like to help, but don't have the first clue as to where to start. Can you point me in the right direction?

You can also get there from port gohome textmate2.

I cloned the project from github but between trying to build textmate2 in a different directory and trying to grok the ninja build system, I can not figure out how to submit a proper fix. Sorry.

Update. Found a fix. Attached diff file for bin/gen_build.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Yup, looks like that's already been changed upstream: ​https://github.com/textmate/textmate/commit/a9a1c380069006c64eaa7821c337958b9f35537f

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

...so updating textmate2 to the latest version would solve this.

Oh well. At least I learned a lot about how the MacPort system works. And if civilization ever needs to be rebuilt, I have a head start on reinventing the wheel.

[neverpanic (Clemens Lang)]

This is fixed by updating the textmate2 port to a9495 in r112904. I don't see where we've been re-inventing the wheel here, though.

Sorry for not getting to this earlier, but my box is quite old and I have a huge number of ports installed that needed to be rebuilt after the Mavericks update before getting to this.
