Building on Mac OSX

1. install Xcode and Xcode Command Line Utilites
2. start Xcode, settings -> Locations, activate your Command Line Tools
3. install Qt Creator
4. install brew https://brew.sh/
5. brew install boost openssl rapidjson
6. build the project using Qt Creator

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

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

INCLUDEPATH += "/usr/local/Cellar/boost/1.67.0_1/include"
LIBS += -L"/usr/local/Cellar/boost/1.67.0_1/lib"
