Installing from SVN on Mac OS X

=Introduction= This document outlines the build process for Scribus 1.3.9 1.5svn from SVN. This is the currently support build preference on OS X and is also subject to a different licence to the rest of the wiki. This does not currently outline the processs for packaging and bundling Scribus (yet). OS X Tiger is not supported via Macports. Please see Installing Scribus on Mac OS X via Fink if you need to install on Tiger

=What we use=
 * MacPorts (renamed from darwinports in version 1.5) or use Homebrew (formula has been tested and works as of Kunda (talk) 01:56, 13 June 2014 (CEST))
 * Qt from Trolltech
 * XCode from Apple
 * Scribus SVN

=Install development packages= Steps to build and install Scribus 1.3.9 on OSX/Aqua(tested on Intel only)
 * Install X11 (available on the OSX CDs or from the Apple site)
 * Install XCode (available on the OSX CDs or from the Apple developer site)
 * Install MacPorts (downloadable from www.macports.org)
 * Install Qt4 for OSX - you can do this from macports itself if you need to customise the Qt4 install or will use it for other development work

=Building and Installing other required libraries on Leopard/Snow Leopard with MacPorts=
 * Install a few ports from MacPorts (any dependencies not already installed will be installed automatically)
 * Install CMake (sudo port install cmake)
 * Install freetype2 (sudo port install freetype).
 * Install lcms (sudo port install lcms). This will also install jpeg, zlib, tiff
 * Install cairo (sudo port install cairo). This will install fontconfig too.
 * Install libxml2 (sudo port install libxml2).
 * Install subversion (sudo port install subversion), OR optionally install subversion from another source.
 * Install ghostscript (sudo port install ghostscript)
 * Install podofo
 * If you didn't install Qt4 from the Nokia download page and want to install from macports, run sudo port install qt4-mac

You can of course do this all in one line (sudo port install cmake lcms cairo libxml2 ghostscript freetype podofo)

=Building and Installing Scribus=
 * Make a directory where you want to download to (eg, in Terminal, mkdir -p ~/scribus/150)
 * Change to this directory (cd ~/scribus/150)
 * Check out Scribus from SVN
 * svn co svn://scribus.net/trunk/
 * Make a build directory (mkdir builddir)
 * Change to the build directory (cd builddir)
 * Run the cmake command, with the installation path set as you desire. Two common locations would be under /Applications or /Users/ /Applications. As I like to keep compiled software separate to system installed applications, I use the second, but this is a personal preference:


 * make
 * make install

=Finish= Now you can run Scribus 1.3.9+ from OSX if all has gone well. =Related Links=
