# Building on macOS
|
|
|
|
#### Note - If you want to develop Chatterino 2 you might also want to install Qt Creator (make sure to install **Qt 5.12 or newer**), it is not required though and any C++ IDE (might require additional setup for cmake to find Qt libraries) or a normal text editor + running qmake/cmake from terminal should work as well
|
|
|
|
#### Note - Chatterino 2 is only tested on macOS 10.14 and above - anything below that is considered unsupported. It may or may not work on earlier versions
|
|
|
|
1. Install Xcode and Xcode Command Line Utilities
|
|
2. Start Xcode, go into Settings -> Locations, and activate your Command Line Tools
|
|
3. Install brew https://brew.sh/
|
|
4. Install the dependencies using `brew install boost openssl rapidjson`
|
|
5. Install Qt5 using `brew install qt@5`
|
|
6. Step 5 should output some directions to add Qt to your path, you will need to do this for qmake
|
|
7. (_OPTIONAL_) Install [ccache](https://ccache.dev) (used to speed up compilation by using cached results from previous builds) using `brew install ccache`
|
|
8. Go into the project directory
|
|
9. Create a build folder and go into it (`mkdir build && cd build`)
|
|
10. Compile using `qmake .. && make`
|
|
|
|
_If you want to use cmake instead of qmake, just replace the above qmake command with cmake_
|
|
|
|
If the Project does not build at this point, you might need to add additional Paths/Libs, because brew does not install openssl and boost in the common path. You can get their path using
|
|
|
|
`brew info openssl`
|
|
`brew info boost`
|
|
|
|
If brew doesn't link OpenSSL properly then you should be able to link it yourself by using these two commands:
|
|
|
|
- `ln -s /usr/local/opt/openssl/lib/* /usr/local/lib`
|
|
- `ln -s /usr/local/opt/openssl/include/openssl /usr/local/include/openssl`
|
|
|
|
The lines which you need to add to your project file should look similar to this
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
INCLUDEPATH += /usr/local/opt/openssl/include
|
|
LIBS += -L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib
|
|
```
