'''Fink and Fink Commander'''[[br]]
On the [http://fink.sourceforge.net/ fink] website you will find the fink program, which you will need to install the libraries. Go there to the download zone and get the binary (.dmg) version. [[br]]
Now you will want to download the fink commander, its a gui for the fink program that makes it much easier to work with. you can get it from the [http://finkcommander.sourceforge.net/ sourceforge site][[br]]
'''GCC, the GNU Compiler'''[[br]]
Read about installation of the [http://www.tech-recipes.com/mac_system_administration_tips726.html MacOSX coding env] or just download the [http://developer.apple.com/tools/xcode/ "XCode Tools"] from the [https://connect.apple.com apple development center] where you will have to create an account if you don't have one already. Wow, the xcode package is about 300MB big! [[br]]
'''Install Autoconf''' [[br]]
Download the newest 
 * autoconf 
you can find from fink commander.
[[br]]
'''Install Subversion'''[[br]]
Install subversion via the fink commander: choose the
 * svn-client-ssl
package.


=== Installing the Libraries ===
Use the fink commander to install 
 * sdl
 * sdl-image
 * sdl-mixer
Unfortunately SDL_ttf is not installable via Fink Commander, so download the source directly from [http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_ttf] and compile it yourself.
Before installing the SDL_ttf library make sure you have freetype2.0 or later installed on your Mac. You can get it also with finkcommander:
 * freetype2.0
To install SDL_ttf to the fink directory use the following configure command:
{{{
wraith user # ./configure --prefix=/sw/
}}}
Then compile and install by revoking. You will have to be superuser to install the libraries (admin is not enough). To enable superuser login:
{{{
wraith user # sudo passwd root
}}}
this will set the password for the root account if you havnt done this before.
{{{
wraith user # ./configure
.
wraith user # make
.
wraith user # su
.
wraith user # make install
}}}

== Compiling ==
Now switch to the linux guides and continue there with the compiling sections.
