Compiling KiCad on Apple Mac OS X ================================= First written: 2010-01-31 Last edited by: Jerry Jacobs Snow Leopard ------------ Requirements * XCode Tools (http://developer.apple.com/tools/xcode) * CMake (http://www.cmake.org) * wxWidgets 2.9 (http://www.wxwidgets.org/downloads) * Doxygen (http://www.doxygen.nl) Building wxWidgets 2.9 Universal ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To check if your tools and libraries are installed check with file for architectures. user@macosx$ file /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk/usr/lib/libSystem.dylib /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk/usr/lib/libSystem.dylib: Mach-O universal binary with 4 architectures /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk/usr/lib/libSystem.dylib (for architecture ppc7400): Mach-O dynamically linked shared library stub ppc /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk/usr/lib/libSystem.dylib (for architecture ppc64)Mach-O 64-bit dynamically linked shared library stub ppc64 /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk/usr/lib/libSystem.dylib (for architecture i386):Mach-O dynamically linked shared library stub i386 /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk/usr/lib/libSystem.dylib (for architecture x86_64): Mach-O 64-bit dynamically linked shared library stub x86_64 You need the architectures what you are compiling for ! If you have problems that the 64bits library is not build you should add in the configure file: At time of writing (2009-01-16) this is on line 18381 changing this: OSX_UNIV_OPTS="-arch ppc -arch i386" into this: OSX_UNIV_OPTS="-arch ppc -arch i386 -arch x86_64" Building a universal monolib wxWidgets 2.9 with the following parameters: ./configure --enable-unicode=yes --enable-shared=no --enable-monolithic --with-opengl \ --enable-universal_binary --enable-aui --enable-debug --with-osx_cocoa \ --with-macosx-sdk=/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk/ --prefix=/opt/wxwidgets-svn If you dont need the debugging symbols then you can remove the --enable-debug parameter. Compiling and installing: make sudo make install Move the old Mac OS X wxconfig and symlink it to the new compiled 2.9 sudo mv /usr/bin/wx-config /usr/bin/wx-config.osx sudo ln -s /opt/wxwidgets-svn/bin/wx-config /usr Building KiCad ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Extract the sources or get them from subversion. user@mac-osx$ cmake . Regarding Kicad the only things i've changed are the Variables in the generated CMakeCache.txt It depends on which CMake version you use: //Flags used by the compiler during all build types. //This fixes also BOOST macro errors CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS:STRING=-D__ASSERTMACROS__ //Build architectures for OSX CMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES:STRING=x86_64 -arch i386 -arch ppc -isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk/ -mmacosx-version-min=10.5 //The product will be built against the headers and libraries located // inside the indicated SDK. CMAKE_OSX_SYSROOT:PATH=/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk //Minimum OS X version to target for deployment (at runtime); newer // APIs weak linked. Set to empty string for default value.

This not a real issue for KiCad because we don't use it anyway.
