Include Highlight in the bundle

[Tatsh]

This will fix #72.

I don't know if you want to keep your own forks of Lua and highlight because their build systems are not so fun. Especially Lua because it wants users to modify makefile as they need to. They do not want to use something more configurable like autoconf or CMake (or Xcode).

This should work like so:

git clone --recurse-submodules -b bigsur 'git@github.com:Tatsh/QLColorCode'
cd QLColorCode
xcodebuild -target Package
qlmanage -r cache

Then preview a supported file in Finder.

Can't try it out as I get
git@gitlab.com: Permission denied (publickey,keyboard-interactive).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
...
fatal: clone of 'git@gitlab.com:saalen/highlight.git' into submodule path ...failed

Perhaps it means I need a gitlab account?

[Tatsh]

I switched the module URIs to be https which allows anonymous cloning. Should fix the issue.

Unfortunately the xcodebuild step failed:

 $ xcodebuild -target Package
Command line invocation:
    /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/xcodebuild -target Package

I already have boost 1.74.0 installed via homebrew.

Can you tell me the path to Boost include? I assume it's under /usr/local/Cellar or something but I don't know the full path.

I use MacPorts and /opt/local/include is in my patch. This should be the directory where boost/unordered_map.hpp should exist (example). That is, subtracting /boost* from /opt/local/include/boost/unordered_map.hpp. In my case this results in /opt/local/include. It's possible Homebrew does this differently.

You can try modifiying hl/highlight/src/makefile and editing line 78 to add -I ${other include path} after the other -I arguments.

[ralphrmartin]

That particular include file is at

/usr/local/include/boost/unordered_map.hpp

[ralphrmartin]

OK, edited the makefile to replace /opt/local... with /usr/local... and QLColorCode built successfully, and seems to run OK.

[Tatsh]

I can make the patch script add the Boost path dynamically but maybe it's better to include Boost as a submodule.

Could you post a screenshot similar to mine? With About Mac open.

I gave up on trying to add Boost as a submodule. I tried to only add the submodules necessary but this has become a crazy headache. If I add the main project it will add a huge number of submodules and then the set up for making the highlight source see these headers takes forever.

I added the /usr/local/include path to the patch for Highlight and added a note in the readme.

Please try the commands in the first post again and see if it works out of the box.

[ralphrmartin]

Yes, builds without modification now.

I did note this, I don't know if it's harmless:

    /bin/sh -c /Users/ralph/junk/QLColorCode/build/QLColorCode.build/Release/Package.build/Script-0E0E34E80D0097020086C1E6.sh
+/Users/ralph/junk/QLColorCode/build/QLColorCode.build/Release/Package.build/Script-0E0E34E80D0097020086C1E6.sh:3> [ '!=' Release ']'
/Users/ralph/junk/QLColorCode/build/QLColorCode.build/Release/Package.build/Script-0E0E34E80D0097020086C1E6.sh:3: parse error: condition expected: !=

[Tatsh]

Harmless for this but it needs to be looked at.

[dnicolson]

I had to run brew install boost but otherwise it works well.

Yes this is required for building but not runtime. The readme has been updated to state this.

[ElfSundae]

Great job 👍 build succeeded after brew install boost, on macOS 11.0.1

[BrianGilbert]

Also worked for me after installing boost via homebrew 👍

[fffzzy]

Thanks for the fix and hope this change can be released in Homebrew later so I can update with ease. Thanks a lot.

THANKS A LOT TO EVERYBODY!!!
