AppleTV Development – OpenSSL and libcurl

In doing development for the new AppleTV, I was unable to find a cross compiled version of OpenSSL and cURL (libcurl) to use for my project.   I found a helpful OpenSSL script (here) that addressed some the unique tvOS challenges (e.g. fork() is not available) and used that build script to construct an libcurl build script.

The following repo contains scripts to build OpenSSL and cURL (libcurl) for OS X, iOS and tvOS with Bitcode enabled for iOS, tvOS. It includes the required patching for tvOS to not use fork(). This requires Xcode7.1b or later for the tvOS SDK.

DevOps Enterprise Summit 2015

It was great to attend the DevOps Enterprise Summit again this year. The 2015 edition saw more than double the number of attendees of the 2014 conference with presentations from companies all over the world. There is definitely a feeling that DevOps is awakening across the enterprise.

I had the privilege of presenting again on Disney’s Journey,
“Disney DevOps – The Enterprise Awakens.”

Fellow DevOps Avengers from all over the world converged to swap stories, share new insight, technology and encourage each other to keep moving forward as the Force of positive change in our various industries.
