tools: add macosx-firwall script to avoid popups
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Currently, there are a number of popups that get displayed when running
the tests asking to accept incoming network connections. Rules can be
added manually to the socket firewall on Mac OS X but getting this right
might not be obvious and quite a lot of time can be wasted trying to get
the rules right. This script hopes to simplify things a little so that
it can be re-run when needed.

The script should be runnable from both the projects root directory and
from the tools directory, for example:
$ sudo ./tools/macosx-firewall.sh

* This step will install `gcc` and the related toolchain containing `make`

* You may want to setup [firewall rules](tools/macosx-firewall.sh) to avoid
popups asking to accept incoming network connections when running tests:

```console
$ sudo ./tools/macosx-firewall.sh
```
Running this script will add rules for the executable `node` in the out
directory and the symbolic `node` link in the projects root directory.

On FreeBSD and OpenBSD, you may also need:
