Building Horizon Launcher on OS X - HorizonLauncher/Client GitHub Wiki

There are snapshot builds available for OS X- check out this page for more information.

Dependencies

  • XCode

    Install this from the app store. XCode itself isn't needed, but the tools it installs are required. Yosemite is required to install the latest version of XCode, previous versions may work but aren't supported.

    If you wish to install the XCode tools without XCode itself, open up a terminal and enter xcode-select --install.

  • CMake

    The easiest way to install CMake on OS X is via homebrew, invoking via brew install cmake.

  • Qt

    Download the installer from the official website and install as normal.

  • Boost

    Also available through homebrew, brew install boost.

Process

  1. Clone the directory somewhere on the filesystem git clone https://www.github.com:/HorizonLauncher/Client -b dev
  2. Create a directory to keep build files separate from the rest of the source code mkdir build; cd build
  3. Either export CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/path/to/qt/lib/cmake in your $HOME/.xprofile or build with cmake .. -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/path/to/qt/lib/cmake (Default: /Users/<username>/Qt<version>/<minor version>/clang_64/lib/cmake)
  4. Compile with make
