Building the Atomic Editor using XCode - joorjoor/AtomicGameEngine GitHub Wiki
Prerequisites
The Atomic Editor is very easy to build and requires minimal setup. You'll need XCode from the App Store and CMake: http://www.cmake.org/download
Step 1: Clone and generate XCode project
Open a terminal and clone the Atomic Game Engine source and examples repositories.
git clone --recursive https://github.com/AtomicGameEngine/AtomicGameEngine
git clone https://github.com/AtomicGameEngine/AtomicExamples
Make a build directory, change directory to it, and run cmake.
mkdir AtomicGameEngine-build
cd AtomicGameEngine-build
cmake ../AtomicGameEngine -G "Xcode"
This will generate an XCode project which you can now open.
