XMMS2 Mac OS X Notes

Note that this page refers to the XMMS2 XCode port that tries to make XMMS2 better compatible Mac OS X.

Goals

To create tools for building XMMS2 with the Mac OS X tools. For better integration with Mac OS X and the iPhone. This should also make it easier for people that want to create Cocoa clients.

Building/Hacking

1. Install XCode

2. Install macports (make sure they are installed in /opt/local)

3. install git, glib2, libmad, libvorbis

4. Checkout the code

   1. git clone git.xmms2.org:/xmms2/macosx/build.git
   2. cd build.git
   3. git clone git.xmms2.org:/xmms2/xmms2-tru.git#macbuild xmms2
   4. git clone git.xmms2.org:/xmms2/macosx/xmmsclient-objc.git

5. Open xmms2-macbuild.xcodeproj in XCode

6. Build

This should build xmms2d, xmmsclient.framework, xmmsclient++.framework and xmmsclient-objc.framework
