Get it Running

Mac OS X

Installing the Utilities

Fink and Fink Commander
On the ​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.
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 ​sourceforge site
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 will have to create an account if you don't have one already. Wow, the xcode package is about 300MB big!

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: To install SDL_ttf to the fink directory use the following configure command:

wraith user # ./configure --prefix=/sw/

Getting the Source

Install subversion also via the Fink. This should work just fine.

Compiling

Then compile and install by revoking

wraith user # ./configure
wraith user # make
wraith user # make install
