superconfigure

superconfigure is a collection of programs ported to run as fat binaries using Cosmopolitan Libc. This repository includes build scripts for popular software such as bash, lua, emacs, GNU Coreutils, sed, gcc-11, curl, clang-15, and others. For each of these, the source code is downloaded from the upstream sources, compiled for x86_64 and aarch64, and finally combined into a fat binary using Cosmopolitan Libc's apelink program.

Where can I download the built software?

The Releases page should have the most recent builds of executables in this repo, built via Github Actions.

If you'd like to add your own software build scripts, submit a PR! Read up config/README.md how all of this works.

How can I build these locally?

The build scripts assume Debian/Ubuntu, and also use things like bash, find, wget, git, GNU make, patch, cp, mkdir etc. (you also need sudo access to setup a /zip folder). You can follow the steps in .github/workflows/release.yml on your machine:

  • clone this repository
  • create a folder /zip on your system that provides read/write access to everyone
  • install necessary build dependencies:
    • qemu to run aarch64 ELF binaries
    • SSL certificates
  • clone the cosmopolitan libc repository within this repository
  • build the cosmopolitan toolchain by running ./.github/scripts/cosmo
git clone https://github.com/ahgamut/superconfigure
cd superconfigure
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/jart/cosmopolitan
# install build dependencies
bash ./.github/scripts/setup
bash ./.github/scripts/cosmo

Building the executable collections

  • to build bash, less, find, tree, and GNU coreutils run make -j4 cli
  • to build vim, emacs, and nano run make -j4 editor
  • to build CPython3.11.4 with datasette 1.0.0a6 run make -j4 datasette
  • to build the GCC collection for x86_64 run make -j4 x86_64-gcc

you can run ./.github/scripts/collectzip to store all build results in a ZIP file.

Building collections via make

You can build fat binaries using the Makefile as well! After setting up the toolchain, if you want to get the binaries for the web folder, run

# assume ./.github/scripts/setup has already been run
# assume ./.github/scripts/cosmo has already been run
export MAXPROC=4
make -j4 web
ls -al results/bin/*

Building individual targets without make

Let's say you wanted to build bash. The steps are:

# assume ./.github/scripts/setup has already been run
# assume ./.github/scripts/cosmo has already been run
export MAXPROC=4
make -j2 o/cli/bash/built.fat
ls -al results/bin/bash*

Adding to the ZIP Store

If you'd like to add new Python scripts or pure-Python packages to the python executables:

mkdir -p ./Lib/site-packages
cd Lib/site-packages
# add your code
cp -r your_script.py
unzip your_lib.whl
cd ../../
zip -r ./python.com Lib/
# test if the package loads
./python.com -c "import your_lib"

A similar process can be followed to add your own vimrc, wgetrc, nanorc etc. to the respective binaries.
