− | An already built and running version of BRL-CAD for Mac OS X can be downloaded from [http://sourceforge.net/projects/brlcad/files/BRL-CAD%20for%20Mac%20OS%20X/ here], or these steps will guide you through the process of how to compiling it yourself.

− | Download the latest version of [http://www.cmake.org/cmake/resources/software.html CMake for Mac OS X]. Once downloaded, follow the instructions to install CMake and be sure to select the box for installing the CMake Command Line tools:

− | The latest version of the BRL-CAD source is also required, which can be obtained [https://sourceforge.net/projects/brlcad/files/BRL-CAD%20Source/ here].
| |

− | 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 Xcode is already installed on your system, you can install the command line tools (or double-check to make sure you have them) by navigating to Xcode Preferences > Downloads and in the components tab, you should see Command Line Tools:

− | == Compiling ==
| |
− | | |
− | Navigate to the BRL-CAD source directory you downloaded and create a new folder titled "brlcad-build." This is where we will store the configured build:

− | [[Image:XcodeBRLCADProject.png|thumb|right|256px|The Xcode project file that should result.]]
| |
− | Open Terminal (in /User/Applications/Utilities) and cd to the location of the BRL-CAD source folder (Note: you can type cd, press the spacebar, and then drag the brlcad folder to copy its search path):
| |
− | | |
− | cd brlcad-7.22.0
| |
− | | |
− | Now, we create a BRL-CAD Xcode project that we can use to compile BRL-CAD:
| |
− | (this may take some time)
| |
− | | |
− | cd brlcad-build
| |
− | cmake .. -G Xcode
| |
| | | |
− | == Finishing ==
| + | Latest BRL-CAD SOURCE (http://sourceforge.net/projects/brlcad/files/BRL-CAD%20Source/) |
| | | |
− | Open the resulting BRLCAD.xcodeproj file with Xcode and press Build and Run. Thats it!
| + | Latest Xcode (Downloadable from Mac App Store) - While installing, make sure command-line tools are installed as well, or if you already have Xcode, click here to see how to make sure they're installed. |
