Build setup on MacOS

Before you start, read the Mozilla Requirements.

bash: the scripts depend on the bash shell being the default, including for cygwin on Windows
subversion aka svn-client in fink

ccache is recommended.

fbuild has been used on 10.4 (Tiger), both PPC and x86. At this time we do not build universal binaries.

Xtools 2.2.1 build server require the cross-compile components

Install the fink packages to get going

$ export PATH=$PATH:/sw/bin

$ sudo apt-get install libidl2 zip unzip orbit orbit-dev glib glib2-dev pkgconfig svn-client

It is highly recommended that you install ccache:

sudo apt-get install ccache ccache-default

You may have to create a symbolic link to get the building to work properly (esp if you try to build from components and it does not take effect).

cd $o/dist/FlockDebug.app/Contents

rm -rf MacOS

ln -s ../../bin/ MacOS
