- A.- Requirements
- To build on macOS you need Xcode 12, 13 or 14 (get it from the App store or the
- Apple developer site) and therefore macOS Catalina for Xcode 12, Big Sur for
- Xcode 13, or Monterey for Xcode 14 (the target system/SDK is set by the viewer
- build scripts to v10.13, so the resulting viewer binary should nonetheless be
- compatible with macOS High Sierra or newer Mac systems).
- When building with Xcode 13+ you get some more link-time warnings due to a few
- badly targetted libraries (too old a build target); these are harmless.
- You additionally need Python and CMake. You may install both using macports
- (https://ports.macports.org/).
- Alternatively (but untested by me) you may install Python from a macOS PKG
- downloaded from the official Python site (https://www.python.org/). Do make
- sure the 'python' executable path is added to your PATH environment variable.
- You may also install CMake with the DMG downloaded from the official CMake site
- (https://cmake.org/download/). IMPORTANT: cmake v3.12.0 is the *minimum* cmake
- version required for buidling with Xcode 10 or newer. CMake v3.16+ is
- recommended for a faster compilation. Also make sure to run:
- sudo "/Applications/CMake.app/Contents/bin/cmake-gui" --install
- in order to get the command line cmake to be properly installed.
- To verify that all the required components are available on your system, open a
- new terminal (i.e. do not use the one you installed from) and type:
- xcodebuild -version
- python --version
- cmake --version
- B.- Building
- To build a viewer release (x86, 64 bits only) from the sources:
- 1.- Extract the viewer sources from the tarball.
- 2.- Open a terminal.
- 3.- Change to the linden/ directory.
- 4.- Type (*): ./macos-build.sh
- 5.- Cross your fingers...
- With some luck (did you properly cross your fingers ?), you should find the
- resulting, ready to run "Cool VL Viewer.app" in the following directory:
- linden/build-darwin-x86_64/
- (*) Or, to build a RelWithDebInfo viewer binary: ./macos-build.sh -s
- And for a Debug build: ./macos-build.sh -d
