+Create the OS X SDK tarball, see the [OS X readme](README_osx.md) for details, and copy it into the inputs directory.
### Optional: Seed the Gitian sources cache and offline git repositories
By default, Gitian will fetch source files as needed. To cache them ahead of time:
- make -C ../dash/depends download SOURCES_PATH=`pwd`/cache/common
+ pushd ./gitian-builder
+ make -C ../dash/depends download SOURCES_PATH=`pwd`/cache/common
+ popd
Only missing files will be fetched, so this is safe to re-run for each build.
NOTE: Offline builds must use the --url flag to ensure Gitian fetches only from local URLs. For example:
-```
-./bin/gbuild --url dash=/path/to/dash,signature=/path/to/sigs {rest of arguments}
-```
+
+ pushd ./gitian-builder
+ ./bin/gbuild --url dash=/path/to/dash,signature=/path/to/sigs {rest of arguments}
+ popd
+
The gbuild invocations below DO NOT DO THIS by default.
