How to Build On OSX | (Preview/Test Build Inside)

[ilikenwf]

Before going further, note that the following link is to a preview/testing build...in fact, our first ever working mac build. Feel free to grab it and take it for a test drive.
EDIT: Updated with the new proper, working dmg file.

Make sure you have macports and the appropriate applications needed to build per the songbird wiki:

Xcode 4 users only:
First, you'll need to grab a copy of xcode 3 somewhere, and install it somewhere outside of the normal directory, such as in /xc... Then you'll install xcode 4, and do some creative symlinking...see the following Stackoverflow link for a guide on setting up xcode 3 and 4 with the 10.4u and 10.5 SDKs.

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/53334...to-xcode-4

NOTE: The 10.4u and 10.6 SDK's build nightingale perfectly - 10.5 and 10.7 break the build. Either way, make sure you're using the 4.0 version of the compiler (which only comes with xcode 3), and you can check by doing "g++ -v"

After doing all that, do the following as root:

Code:

cd /usr/bin
mv g++ g++.old
ln -s /Developer/usr/bin/gcc-4.0 g++

Then, proceed to exit root and as yourself in the terminal, and pull down the nightingale-hacking git repo, and checkout the sb-trunk-oldxul branch. Proceed to simply run build.sh and watch it build!

If we really release within the next two weeks, I don't think a blog post is necessary. Else...
