[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] 2.10.1 client for Mac OS

[Alex Lazar]

Hi all, and especially those who have successfully built an Evergreen staff client for Mac OS.

I am attempting to build a 2.10.1 client for Mac OS, working on El Capitan 10.11.4, following these instructions: http://wiki.evergreen-ils.org/doku.php?id=mozilla-devel:building_the_staff_client#building_a_macintosh_staff_client.

Step 4 of those instructions states "Make Evergreen.app/Resources the root of your Evergreen application files". I am assuming it means I need to download and unpack the Evergreen tar file, then go into the Open-ILS/xul/staff_client/, run some make commands and then move some resulting files into the Evergreen.app/Resource folder that I previously had set up.

Attempting to do that, I've run into a couple of errors on Mac OS which make me wonder if I should even be trying to build the client on Mac OS or just do it all on Linux?

Wondering how others approach this process? If anyone builds the whole thing on Mac OS, do you first install all the prerequisites, like OpenSRF to have the osrf_config file available?

Thank you.
