+Now you should be able to build bitcoind:
 
 cd ~/bitcoin/src
-make -f makefile.osx bitcoin
-
-Before you can run it, you need to create an application bundle for Mac OS.
-
-A bundle is provided in contrib/Bitcoin.app.
-
-Copy the bitcoin binary in to it like this:
-  cp -pR ~/bitcoin/bitcoin/contrib/Bitcoin.app ~/bitcoin/
-  cp ~/bitcoin/src/bitcoin ~/bitcoin/Bitcoin.app/Contents/MacOS/
-
-To run it you can just click the Bitcoin.app in Finder, or just do:
-open ~/bitcoin/Bitcoin.app
-
-If you want to run it with arguments you can just run it without backgrounding
-by specifying the full name in terminal:
-
-~/bitcoin/Bitcoin.app/Contents/MacOS/bitcoin -addnode=192.75.207.66
-
-You can also run it with arguments in the background with output going to the
-normal places for apps (Console) like this:
-
-open ~/bitcoin/Bitcoin.app --args -connect=192.75.207.66
-
-It is advisable to relocate Bitcoin.app to /Applications or $HOME/Applications.
