CreateGhidraApp.sh – a loving pull from Saagarjha's gist

Purpose:

Create a nice, standalone and compatible .app application for MacOS users of Ghidra. This makes it possible to (largely portably) distribute it, for example. Also, .app bundles are pretty.

Prerequistes:

• Xcode and the MacOS SDK
• Imagemagick's convert
• Ghidra's preferred version of a JDK (currently OpenJDK v11)

Changes:

Compared to the original gist, this script: – Directly links against the MacOS SDK, avoiding clang's errant <stdin>:1:9: fatal error: module 'Foundation' not found

• Uses a slightly different (i.e. more comptaible) jar syntax
• Passes shellcheck

Usage:

mkdir temp_dir && cd temp_dir; 
git clone https://github.com/NeutralKaon/CreateGhidraApp.sh.git . 
chmod +x ./CreateGhidraApp.sh
#Determine the latest_ghidra_release URL e.g. 
wget 'https://github.com/NationalSecurityAgency/ghidra/releases/download/Ghidra_10.0.2_build/ghidra_10.0.2_PUBLIC_20210804.zip'\
    -O Ghidra_10.0.2.zip 
unzip Ghidra_10.0.2.zip
./CreateGhidraApp.sh ./ghidra_10.0.2_PUBLIC

I have created this as a repo (as well as forking the gist) entirely for the purpose of uploading a release binary. That binary is (obviously) neither codesigned nor notarized.

Enjoy!
