因为 macOS 下的 Rime 输入法（鼠须管） 不是经常更新二进制，所以要体验性特性总是要手工进行编译安装。

之前的想要 Rime 实现按下 Esc 切换为英文时，看到 commit history 有提交的时候就尝试手工编译安装了一下。一直都在笔记里面，现在整理一下发出来。

Prerequisites

安装 Xcode 12.2 及以上

首先从 App Store 中安装 Xcode 12.2 及以上版本。

如果只有 Xcode 10 只能编译 x86_64 的版本。

安装 cmake

从官网 下载安装。

或者从Homebrew 安装:

brew install cmake

或者从 MacPorts 安装:

port install cmake

Checkout the code

获取 Squirrel 的源码：

git clone --recursive https://github.com/rime/squirrel.git

cd squirrel

通过如下方式获取 Rime 的插件（这一步如果不需要可以跳过，不过建议安装特定的插件以提高使用舒适度）：

bash librime/install-plugins.sh rime/librime-sample # ...
bash librime/install-plugins.sh hchunhui/librime-lua
bash librime/install-plugins.sh lotem/librime-octagram

添加两个插件 librime-lua,librime-octagram

  • librime-lua 可以使用户可以编写 lua 脚本，编写函数来处理输出，比如在英文单词后面自动添加一个空格，或者当输入 date 或 「日期」的时候自动出现当前的日期。

  • librime-octagram 是八股文插件，通过提前训练的模型增强 RIME 的长句组词能力

Shortcut: get the latest librime release

You have the option to skip the following two sections - building Boost and librime, by downloading the latest librime binary from GitHub releases.

可以直接执行如下命令从 GitHub release 页面下载编译好的 Boost 和 librime，跳过下面两个步骤：

bash ./travis-install.sh

准备工作做好之后，就可以开始编译 Squirrel

Install Boost C++ libraries

选择下面两种方式中的一个安装 Boost 库。

Option: 下载源码编译安装：.

export BUILD_UNIVERSAL=1

make -C librime xcode/thirdparty/boost

export BOOST_ROOT="$(pwd)/librime/thirdparty/src/boost_1_75_0"

Let’s set BUILD_UNIVERSAL to tell make that we are building Boost as universal macOS binaries. Skip this if building only for the native architecture.

After Boost source code is downloaded and a few compiled libraries are built, be sure to set shell variable BOOST_ROOT to its top level directory as above.

You may also set BOOST_ROOT to an existing Boost source tree before this step.

Option: 从 Homebrew 从安装:

brew install boost

Note: with this option, the built Squirrel.app is not portable because it links to locally installed libraries from Homebrew.

Learn more about the implications of this at https://github.com/rime/librime/blob/master/README-mac.md#install-boost-c-libraries

Option: 从 MacPorts 安装:

port install boost -no_static

Build dependencies

Again, set BUILD_UNIVERSAL to tell make that we are building librime as universal macOS binaries. Skip this if building only for the native architecture.

Build librime, dependent third-party libraries and data files:

export BUILD_UNIVERSAL=1

make deps

Build Squirrel

当所有的依赖都安装准备好之后, 开始编译 Squirrel.app:

make

To build only for the native architecture, pass variable ARCHS to make:

# for Mac computers with Apple Silicon
make ARCHS='arm64'

# for Intel-based Mac
make ARCHS='x86_64'

Install it on your Mac

编译后之后就可以安装到系统上:

# Squirrel as a Universal app
make install

# for Intel-based Mac only
make ARCHS='x86_64' install

之后就可以享受完美的 Rime 输入法体验了。

Question

在 make ARCHS='x86_64' 的时候遇到错误：
