Because we like to save pandas, Nical developped kiwi in a maximum portability spirit. Although, under OSX, you need some programs and libraries installed :
- gcc > 4.0
- CMake > 2.4
- Boost library
- Cairo library
MacPort is a fantastic tool to get, compile & install mac ports of linux applications. This tool is command-line based but if you're looking for kiwi, you should not be feared of that.
So, first, dowload dmg images from :
- For Snow Leopard : http://distfiles.macports.org/MacPorts/MacPorts-1.9.2-10.6-SnowLeopard.dmg
- For Leopard : http://distfiles.macports.org/MacPorts/MacPorts-1.9.2-10.5-Leopard.dmg
- For Tiger : http://distfiles.macports.org/MacPorts/MacPorts-1.9.1-10.4-Tiger.dmg
It means that port is installed and functionnal.
This wiki page is not designed to provide a complete help on how to use port but this one does : http://guide.macports.org/#using
# sudo port selfupdate
Password:
---> Updating the ports tree
---> Updating MacPorts base sources using rsync
MacPorts base version 1.9.2 installed,
MacPorts base version 1.9.2 downloaded.
---> MacPorts base is already the latest version
# sudo port install gcc45 cmake boost cairo
...
Then wait for an hour (gcc has to be bootstrapped and build through 3 passes, it's pretty time & CPU expensive... ) and everything should be OK.
** You now can compile & use KIWI under MacOSX ! **
