dgladkov / openmw-deps-mac

This repository's intent is to provide an automated way to build all dependencies required for OpenMW.

Prerequisites

• Xcode with OS X 10.11 or 10.12 SDK (>= 7.0, < 9.0). Please note that by default 10.12 SDK is assumed. Pass -DCMAKE_OSX_SYSROOT=macosx10.11 argument to cmake call if you'd like to build against Xcode 7.
• CMake
• pkg-config
• yasm

Building & installing

• Clone the repo

• Create build dir

• Run CMake. Example (it assumes that the build directory is a child of source directory): cmake ..

• Build: make

• Now all files should be in /your/build/directory/path/openmw-deps, you should specify this path while running CMake for OpenMW later

Caveats

Unwanted libraries on system paths

Some of libraries and frameworks installed in the system paths (Homebrew formulae included) may be picked up during a build and lead to including unexpected header files or linking with unexpected binaries. For example, OpenSceneGraph tries to use libtiff if present. Another example can be seen in #35. To prevent that OS X sandboxing mechanism can be used.

Here's how the example commands above may look like that with sandbox-exec:

$ sandbox-exec -f ../sandbox.sb cmake ..
$ sandbox-exec -f ../sandbox.sb make

Please note that sandbox profile assumes that CMake, pkg-config & yasm are installed with Homebrew in default prefix.
