""THIS GUIDE IS CURRENTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION""
An already built and running version of BRL-CAD for Mac OS X can be downloaded from here(), or these steps will guide you through the process of how to compile it yourself.
Download the latest version of CMake for Mac OS X: http://www.cmake.org/cmake/resources/software.html. Follow the steps to install and make sure you select to install command line tools as well.
The latest version of the BRL-CAD source is also required, which can be obtained here: Sourceforge
You will also need Xcode, which can be downloaded from the Mac App Store. When installing, make sure you install the unix development command-line tools. Or if you already have Xcode installed and want to see if you need to install them, you can check in Xcode Preferences > Downloads??
Open Terminal (in /User/Applications/Utilities) and cd to the location of the brl-cad source folder:
cd brlcad
Create a new folder called "brlcad-build," which is where we will store the configured CMake build. We will then need CMake to compile the build:
cd brlcad-build cmake ..
Install the CMake configuration:
sudo make install ls -la /usr/brlcad /usr/brlcad/*/bin/mged
Run to compile a working Xcode BRL-CAD Project:
