Introduction

This document outlines the build process for Scribus 1.3.9 or higher 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)
  • 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

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)


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


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
  • 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/<your username>/Applications. As I like to keep compiled software separate to system installed applications, I use the second, but this is a personal preference:

cmake -DBUILD_OSX_BUNDLE=1 -DWANT_CAIRO=1 -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=/Users/<your username>/Applications/Scribus.App/Contents/ ../trunk/Scribus/

  • make
  • make install

Finish

Now you can run Scribus 1.3.9+ from OSX if all has gone well.
