POSIX shell script that builds an OpenCore EFI folder from an OpenCore config.plist
POSIX shell script that builds an OpenCore EFI folder from an OpenCore config.plist
Can also be double-clicked in macOS Finder which will run as
./OC-tool -o
see either the OC-tool wiki pages for more detailed information
or the Docs/tool-changelog.md
Installation
git clone https://github.com/rusty-bits/OC-tool
cd OC-tool
copy your
config.plistfile into the
INPUTfolder, or copy and edit one of the sample plist files.
e.g.
cp Docs/Sample.plist INPUT/config.plist
NOTE: If you use the
Clone or downloadbutton OC-tool's files will be downloaded, but it won't be a repo and will error out when run since it can't update itself from github
Requirements
sh,
bash,
ksh,
ash, or
dashshould all work. I myself use
zshwith no problems, even though it's not strictly POSIX compliant.
It will also run on Windows under WSL or by using Git for Windows
That's it, nothing more is needed.
OC-toolwill make a working EFI folder by getting what it needs from the stable releases on Acidanthera's github or the daily build on Dortania if you so choose.
git,
grep,
curl,
cp,
cut,
tr, etc used by OC-tool should already exist on those shells.
Now, if you want OC-tool to build the latest from source you will need additional tools/dependencies, and as far as I know will have to use macOS as well. If there is a good way to run Xcode on Linux let me know ...
Xcodewith
xcodebuild,
nasm, and
mtocneed to be installed and configured to run from the command line. You can build/install these yourself, or you can run the get-deps.sh in the .tool-files folder which uses code from acidanthera to get prebuilt dependencies.

OC-tooldirectory
