== Install required tools and libraries ==
#REDIRECT [[Get_Involved/development/Mac]]
Required tools and libraries can be installed using ''either'' Homebrew or Macports, as described below.
 
In ''both'' cases, you will need to download and install [https://developer.apple.com/xcode/ XCode], first.
 
=== Homebrew (plus official Qt installer) ===
* Install Qt (use the official Qt installer, recommended version Qt >= 5.6)
* Install homebrew and get some basic dependencies (http://brew.sh/)
/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
brew install cmake wget coreutils p7zip gettext ninja python3 bison boost shared-mime-info
* Optional: You might need some extra environment variables
 
export CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/Cellar/gettext/0.19.8.1/lib
export CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH=/usr/local/Cellar/gettext/0.19.8.1/include
export PATH=/usr/local/Cellar/bison/3.0.4/bin:$PATH
 
# Setup environment (path must contain your Qt install, here 5.7 default location and brew's gettext)
export PATH=/Users/cullmann/Qt5.7.0/5.7/clang_64/bin:/usr/local/Cellar/gettext/0.19.7/bin:$PATH
 
=== Macports (including Qt) ===
* Install Macports
* Install basic dependencies and tools:
sudo port install git qt56 cmake wget coreutils p7zip gettext ninja python36 bison boost shared-mime-info
* Add GNU coreutils to your path:
export PATH=/opt/local/libexec/gnubin/:$PATH
 
== Install Craft ==
# Prepare some build directory in your home directory, here we assume:
mkdir ~/kf
# Switch to this build dir
cd ~/kf
# Get Craft
git clone git://anongit.kde.org/craft.git
# Copy Mac OS X config template to right location, should be OK to use out of the box
mkdir etc
cp craft/kdesettings.mac etc/kdesettings.ini
 
== Using craft ==
* Every time you want to use craft in a new shell, you need to set up the craft environment, first:
. craft/kdeenv.sh
 
* In this shell, now craft is usable, e.g. to build Kate with all dependencies:
craft kate
 
== Deploying applications ==
* To create a app bundle (+ dmg file), you need to have the breeze-icons around:
craft breeze-icons
 
* To do deploy all things, unfortunately at the moment you need a patched macdeployqt. Example scripty for kate can be found on [https://quickgit.kde.org/?p=kate.git&a=blob&f=mac%2Femerge-deploy.sh kate.git/mac/emerge-deploy.sh]
** If you installed qt using Macports, your copy of macdeployqt ''should'' be patched, already. It will not be in your system path by default, however. Find it at /opt/local/libexec/qt5 .
