Build instructions

Before doing anything, ensure you have the following things on the build machine:

• A 64-bit Intel Mac running OS X 10.10+
• Xcode 7.x+ installed (must have the OS X 10.11 SDK)

DO NOT open FreenetTray.xcodeproj directly! The application requires CocoaPods, which will build the 3rd party library dependencies for you and generate an Xcode workspace for you to use.

Build steps

First, open a terminal and change directory to the source code location:

$ cd /path/to/mactray/

You will then need to install CocoaPods:

$ sudo gem install cocoapods

Now allow CocoaPods to download and build the required 3rd party libraries:

$ pod install

Cocoapods may take a few minutes, but quickly display build results like this:

Analyzing dependencies

Downloading dependencies
Installing CocoaAsyncSocket <version number>
Installing IYLoginItem <version number>
Generating Pods project
Integrating client project

Now there should be a FreenetTray.xcworkspace file, open it:

$ open FreenetTray.xcworkspace 

Now you can build and run the application, or archive it for distribution.

When built against the OS X 10.11 SDK, the built application should be fully compatible with 64-bit Intel Macs running OS X 10.8 - OS X 10.11.
