Compiling Fox on MacOS X

NB: Compiling Fox requires XCode version 2.5 (for MacOS X 10.4) or 3.0 (for MacOS X 10.5)

To compile Fox:

• First download the linux package for Fox

  Fox-xxxx.tar.bz2, and uncompress it.

• Go into the uncompressed directory, then download the wxWidgets package

  wxMac-2.8.7.tar.bz2 in this directory

• Go into the Fox subdirectory, then compile Fox using

  make -f macosx.mak dist

• You will get a disk image (

  .dmg) including Fox compiled for your architecture (intel or ppc), with (Fox.app) and without (Fox-noGUI) graphical interface
  
  As of 2008/01/05, paste the following in a console and it compile the latest version of Fox. The disk image is in the Fox/Fox sub-directory:

#alias wget="curl -O"    # This is only needed on MacOS X 10.4, not 10.5
wget http://garr.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/objcryst/Fox-20080104-R931.tar.bz2
tar -xjf Fox-20080104-R931.tar.bz2
mv Fox-20080104-R931 Fox
cd Fox
wget http://garr.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/wxwindows/wxMac-2.8.7.tar.bz2
svn update    # Optionnal step: this will update to the latest source, and requires subversion to be installed (included on MacOS X 10.5)
cd Fox
make -f macosx.mak dist
