withgraphite's plutil

I decided against static compilation for this one since the resulting binary is absolutely massive, and the suite is actually two binaries, plutil and PlistBuddy.

Dependencies

Clone the repo, install ninja, cmake, gcc, libxml2 for your target

Building

As you would do any typical CMake project:

mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
ninja

Since we're not static compiling, there are a few things that needs to be bundled in the final zip distribution:

$ ldd plutil.exe | grep /c/Users | cut -d' ' -f1
        libutil.dll
        libstdc++-6.dll
        libplist.dll
        libstdc++-6.dll
        libprocess.dll
        libgcc_s_seh-1.dll
        libwinpthread-1.dll
