Editing MG/Mac Compiling

''Pre-requisite'' : you must have [http://developer.apple.com/technologies/xcode.html XCode] , subversion and [http://www.cmake.org/cmake/resources/software.html CMake] on your computer.
*Retrieve the 3rd libraries from here : and extract the contact of the archive in your library directory ~/Library/Frameworks
'''''Remark''''': if you already have done this step, you don't need to update them
*Get the source from svn (trunk should be ok):
 svn co https://megaglest.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/megaglest/trunk megaglest
or the source tarball from version 3.3.7_beta3 or above.
*Generate the XCode project
 cd megaglest
 cmake -GXcode
*Build everything
 xcodebuild
or you can also open the project and build everything in XCode :
 open MegaGlest.xcodeproj
*Generate the installer
 cpack -C CPack CPackConfig.cmake
''Et voila ! ''You should have a megaglest-{version}.dmg file in your current directory. install it and play !!!

-This page explains how to compile [[MegaGlest]] on a Mac computer.
+''Pre-requisite'' : you must have [http://developer.apple.com/technologies/xcode.html XCode] , subversion and [http://www.cmake.org/cmake/resources/software.html CMake] on your computer.
+*Retrieve the 3rd libraries from here : and extract the contact of the archive in your library directory ~/Library/Frameworks
+'''''Remark''''': if you already have done this step, you don't need to update them
-==Prerequisites==
+*Get the source from svn (trunk should be ok):
-* XCode (from App store)
+  svn co https://megaglest.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/megaglest/trunk megaglest
-* Various 3rd party build dependencies, also GCC compiler (all from MacPorts)
+or the source tarball from version 3.3.7_beta3 or above.
+*Generate the XCode project
+  cd megaglest
-=== Dependencies ===
+  cmake -GXcode
+*Build everything
-Dependencies can be installed in two ways:
+  xcodebuild
+or you can also open the project and build everything in XCode :
-* Install them using a 3rd party package manager like [https://www.macports.org/ MacPorts] or [http://www.finkproject.org/ Fink].
+ open MegaGlest.xcodeproj
+*Generate the installer
-In this example you'll see how to install the packages with MacPorts which will handle the install of dependencies. (Full dependency lists are available in [[MG/Linux Compiling|Linux Compiling]] section if something is missing and you would like to install them manually.)
+  cpack -C CPack CPackConfig.cmake

-  sudo port install git pkgconfig cmake libsdl2 lua jpeg libpng freetype ftgl libogg glew libvorbis cppunit fribidi miniupnpc
-  sudo port install curl wxWidgets-3.0
-If you have few possibilities, then always install latest stable version (or even older) of the package (not beta or devel).
-Choosing correct [http://www.xquartz.org/releases/index.html X11 for Mac OS] is a bit tricky especially if you have some version already installed, but if you haven't just do:
-  sudo port install xorg-server
-Don't try compile with VLC unless you really have to (long list of nasty "dynamic" dependencies).
-or (alternative way):
-----
-* Retrieve the build dependencies / 3rd party libraries and extract the contents of the archive in your library directory ~/Library/Frameworks
-=== Configuring Environment ===
-Once wxwidgets is installed you will need to ensure '''wx-config''' is in your path (same situation with gcc).
-MacPorts have even nice way to do this:
-example for wxwidgets:
- port select --list wxwidgets
- sudo port select --set wxwidgets wxWidgets-3.0
-example for gcc:
- port select --list gcc
- sudo port select --set gcc gcc49
-or (alternative way):
-----
-As an alternative you can add the following fragment to ''~/.profile'' or the configuration file appropriate to your shell.
-  # Add wx-config to path for cmake
- export PATH=$PATH:/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/wxWidgets.framework/Versions/wxGTK/2.8/bin/
-Once that has been added you will need to source the configuration file again to pick up the new settings
- source ~/.profile
-== Preparing to compile ==
-Before compilation you will need to use [[MG/Getting_The_Code|''Git to check out'']] the MegaGlest source code ready for building.
-==Compiling==
-This can be done in two ways: Using an XCode project or GNU Make, but because MG should be compiled by gcc then classic cmake>make is best for this task and we have script for this job.
-(''Recommended scripted way'')
-  cd mk/macosx
-  ./build-mg.sh
-== Running the game ==
-  ./megaglest
-== Packaging ==
-When game is compiled you can choose to run it directly from repository (see the previous section) or package it for yourself (and also for others).
- cd mk/macosx
-  ./make-release-archives.sh
-This script ^ produces 2 type of packages '.zip' and '.dmg'.
-Dmg image is more preferred but remember one important and simple thing, this package is (and will be probably always) produced by "unidentified developer" and you will see security warning about this. It is normal and you usually need a root password to be able to launch such package (if you need more details search "in the google" for something like: mac how open from unidentified developer). If this is a serious problem for you then just .zip package is better for you.
-Zip archive is a bit less common (old standard) but on this case you will not see any security warnings. From archive you can easily launch game because OS know this type of archive, but installation is just a bit more difficult because you have to 'manually' find the "/Applications" folder and simply drag an "MegaGlest.app" there.
-==  Packaging binary archive ==
-For releases but also for development snapshots you should make also binary archive.
- cd mk/macosx
- ./make-binary-archive.sh
-This package is helpful for games based on MG engine (binary for release) and for tests how game works on the Mac.
-----
-For CI you should consider sequence like
- cd mk/macosx
- ./build-mg.sh && ./make-binary-archive.sh
-because this will produce more verbose and helpful output.
