Installing the Utilities

1. GCC, the GNU Compiler:
   Read about installation of the ​MacOSX coding env or just download the ​XCode Tools from the ​Apple development center, where you have to create an account if you don't have one already.
2. Fink:
   On the ​fink website you will find fink, which you will need to install the libraries. Go to the download area there and get the binary (.dmg) version of fink.
3. Fink Commander: Now you can download the fink commander, which is a GUI for fink, that makes it much easier to work with. You can get it from ​sourceforge.

Fink Utilities These utilities must be install with fink. Either you do it with the finkcommander or you write:

$ fink list [package-part-name]        // choose the one you like and
$ fink install [package-name]          // fill in the name of the actual package here

You need the following packages:

1. Autoconf
   

   $ fink install autoconf
   

2. Subversion with SSL
   

   $ fink install svn-client-ssl
   

package.

Installing the Libraries

1. X-code must be installed.
2. You can find a collection of all Tools and Libraries you need ​here
3. Install the SDL framework and read the documentation on the ​SDL download section

Use the fink commander to install

• glew
• sdl
• sdl-image

Unfortunately SDL_ttf is not installable with Fink Commander, so download the source directly from ​http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_ttf and compile it yourself. Before installing SDL_ttf make sure you have freetype2.0 or later installed on your Mac. You can also get freetype2.0 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 have to change to superuser to install the libraries:

wraith user # sudo passwd root

this will set the password for the root account if you havnt done this before.

wraith user # ./autogen.sh
wraith user # ./configure
.
wraith user # make
.
wraith user # sudo make install

Compiling

Switch to the Gentoo Linux guide and continue with the compiling sections.
