Downloading and Compiling under macOS
This page documents how to compile Arx Libertatis from https://github.com/arx/ArxLibertatis under Mac OS X.
Specific instructions are given for a cleanly installed Lion 10.7.3 system, but the procedure should be similar for other versions.
Setting Up the Build Environment
To download and compile Arx Libertatis you will need the following tools:
Xcode
Tested with 4.3, install the latest from the App Store (https://developer.apple.com/xcode/)- Install command line tools from Xcode, in Preferences -> Download
- Set the path to the Xcode folder:
sudo xcode-select -switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
github for Mac
Also install the command line tools (http://mac.github.com/)cmake
should be build from source (http://www.cmake.org/)MacPorts
(http://www.macports.org/)
Libraries
SDL
1.2 (http://www.libsdl.org/)GLEW
(http://glew.sourceforge.net/)DevIL
(http://openil.sourceforge.net/)zlib
(http://zlib.net/)Boost
headers and program_options library (http://www.boost.org/)Freetype
(http://www.freetype.org/)OpenGL
Nothing to do... Framework is bundled with XcodeOpenAL
Nothing to do... Framework is bundled with Xcode
I installed those using MacPorts... but you can probably obtain "native" versions too.
- zLib:
sudo port install zlib
- freetype:
sudo port install freetype
- devil:
sudo port install libdevil
- boost:
sudo port install boost
- qt:
sudo port install qt4-mac
- sdl:
sudo port install libsdl
- glew:
sudo port install glew
Or as a single line:
sudo port install zlib freetype libdevil boost qt4-mac libsdl glew
Cloning the code repository
Using GitHub for Mac
Refer to http://mac.github.com/help.html :)
From the command line
First, go to where you want the ArxLibertatis directory to be located.
cd ~/Code
You are now ready to clone the repository, type:
git clone git://github.com/arx/ArxLibertatis.git
This creates a directory called ArxLibertatis and downloads the current source code from github.
cd ArxLibertatis
Compiling
Building CMake from source
The latest release of CMake (2.8.7) still has issues with Xcode 4.3, but it's been fixed in the development branch. You can build cmake from source to fix this:
git clone http://cmake.org/cmake.git cd cmake ./configure make sudo make install
You're now ready to generate makefiles or an Xcode project. cd to the root of the arx repository
Makefiles
mkdir build cd build cmake .. make
Xcode project
mkdir build_xcode cd build_xcode cmake .. -G Xcode open ArxLibertatis.xcodeproj/
