| | 1 | = Mac OS X Build Instructions = |
| | 2 | |
| | 3 | The Mac OS X port is '''not''' yet completed. These instructions are here for those who wish to help out. |
| | 4 | |
| | 5 | == Prerequisites on Mac OS X == |
| | 6 | |
| | 7 | * Mac OS X running on Intel hardware (PowerPC hardware is '''not''' supported). |
| | 8 | * A recent Xcode installation (only the GCC and SDKs are really needed). |
| | 9 | * The SDL library. Check your favorite package manager - Mac Ports, Fink,... |
| | 10 | * ... |
| | 11 | |
| | 12 | == Building !VirtualBox == |
| | 13 | |
| | 14 | 1. Change to the root directory of the sources and execute the configure script: |
| | 15 | {{{ |
| | 16 | ./configure --without-xpcom |
| | 17 | }}} |
| | 18 | If it finds everything it needs, it will create a file called 'Config.kmkconf' containing paths to the various tools on your system. Also, it will create an environment setup script called configure.sh. This step only has to be done once (if something changes in your build tool setup, you might have to repeat it but keep in mind that both output files will be overwritten). |
| | 19 | 1. Whenever you want to build VirtualBox, you have to open a shell and source the generated environment setup script 'configure.sh', i.e. do |
| | 20 | {{{ |
| | 21 | . ./configure.sh |
| | 22 | }}} |
| | 23 | 1. To build type |
| | 24 | {{{ |
| | 25 | kmk |
| | 26 | }}} |
| | 27 | The default is to a release build, should you wish to do a ''debug'' or ''profile'' build add {{{BUILD_TYPE=debug}}} or {{{BUILD_TYPE=profile}}} as argument to ''kmk'' or export it as an environment variable in your shell. |
| | 28 | |
| | 29 | |
| | 30 | == Running !VirtualBox == |
| | 31 | |
| | 32 | In the current state, the Mac OS X port doesn't offer anything useful to run except for testcases... |
