Please read the general build guide for information on dependencies required for all platforms. Only OS X specific instructions are found in this file.
###Homebrew Homebrew is an excellent package manager for OS X. It makes install of all High Fidelity dependencies very simple.
brew install cmake openssl qt5
We no longer require install of qt5 via our homebrew formulas repository. Versions of Qt that are 5.5.x and above provide a mechanism to disable the wireless scanning we previously had a custom patch for.
###OpenSSL and Qt
Assuming you've installed OpenSSL or Qt 5 using the homebrew instructions above, you'll need to set OPENSSL_ROOT_DIR and QT_CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH so CMake can find your installations. For OpenSSL installed via homebrew, set OPENSSL_ROOT_DIR:
export OPENSSL_ROOT_DIR=/usr/local/Cellar/openssl/1.0.2d_1
For Qt 5.5.1 installed via homebrew, set QT_CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH as follows.
export QT_CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/usr/local/Cellar/qt5/5.5.1_2/lib/cmake
Not that these use the versions from homebrew formulae at the time of this writing, and the version in the path will likely change.
###Xcode If Xcode is your editor of choice, you can ask CMake to generate Xcode project files instead of Unix Makefiles.
cmake .. -GXcode
After running cmake, you will have the make files or Xcode project file necessary to build all of the components. Open the hifi.xcodeproj file, choose ALL_BUILD from the Product > Scheme menu (or target drop down), and click Run.
If the build completes successfully, you will have built targets for all components located in the build/${target_name}/Debug directories.
