Compile on mac - secure411dotorg/mal4s GitHub Wiki

Prepare your Mac

Have your Mac OS at Mavericks or beyond. (For older than Mavericks, see this.)

Be sure xcode is installed and update it.

Start Xcode and agree to all the agreements.

Install the xcode command line tools. ( Much easier than searching for this option in xcode GUI, just initiate the install from Terminal like this: xcode-select --install ) If you get an error try the Separate Download method explained here.

Get brew:

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/go/install)"

After brew finishes installing issue brew doctor and brew update.

brew update

brew doctor

Verify that you can successfully build sdl2:

brew -v install sdl2

If successful, continue, otherwise go here and get sdl2 installed from a bottle first.

Install Mal4s:

brew install -v mal4s

####To get the latest development version:

Instead of the above brew install command substitute this one:

brew install -v --fresh mal4s --HEAD

To remove and reinstall mal4s:

brew remove --force mal4s;brew install -v --fresh mal4s --HEAD

NEXT - Quick Start ( minimum configuration, importing data, cheat sheet )
