I was following the instructions to build this on my Mac, but I am getting an error message when I run cmake .. from the build directory.

I am running Mac 10.11.6. Please let me know if you additional system details. Here is the error message:

Joshuas-MBP:build joshuacarroll$ cmake ..

I needed to install pkg-config. Now I have a different error when I run make.

Joshuas-MBP:build joshuacarroll$ make

Thanks for posting this issue! I guess we need to write a good tutorial for Mac OS X. I've also experienced a rough building process on Mac OS X, unfortunately my aged brain can't deliver the details anymore.

I'm not too familiar with Mac OS X building environment, but I would suggest you to fix the Permission denied issue by using sudo make instead of make. This should bring you one step closer. Please let us know, if any other error messages show up. We can use them to write the Mac OS X guide.

Cheers,
Tolga

I had already tried running as su before I opened the issue. However I walked away from this while busy with other projects and I no longer have this error. I have a different error message, so I'll open a different issue and close this one.
