This page explains how to compile MegaGlest on a Mac computer.
Prerequisites
Dependencies
Dependencies can be installed in two ways:
- Retrieve the build dependencies / 3rd party libraries and extract the contents of the archive in your library directory ~/Library/Frameworks
or
- Install them using a 3rd party package manager like |MacPorts or [www.finkproject.org/ |Fink].
In this example I show how to install the packages with MacPorts which will handle the install of dependencies, and there is a lot of them. Full dependency lists are available on Linux Compiling or FreeBSD Compiling if you would like to install them manually.
sudo port install git cmake VLC-devel fribidi ftgl glew wxWidgets-2.8 wxgtk-2.8
Preparing to compile
However you choose to compile you will need to use Git to check out the MegaGlest source code ready for building.
Compiling
This can be done in two ways: Using an XCode project or gnumake
XCode project
/!\ This method is currently known to have problems and unlikely to succeed without considerable debugging.
- Generate the XCode project
cmake -GXcode
- Build everything for release
xcodebuild -configuration release
- Generate the installer
cpack -C CPackConfig.cmake
- You should have a megaglest-#.dmg file in your current directory. You can install this and play it.
GNU Make
Problems building
If you encounter problems with wxWidgets executable being undiscoverable you may need to set the path in CMakeLists.txt yourself
