Seed on Mac OS X

Seed on Mac OS X — How to compile Seed on Apple's Mac OS X

Installation Instructions

  • First, install whatever of the dependencies below you deem necessary (including, of course, all of the required ones).

  • Download a WebKit nightly and install it to /Applications/WebKit.app

  • Add your MacPorts binaries folder to your path:

    $ export PATH=/opt/local/bin:$PATH

    Note: You may have installed MacPorts somewhere other than /opt/local. Keep that in mind.

  • Build gobject-introspection, gir-repository, the other normal dependencies, and then Seed, as you normally would.

From MacPorts, install all of the following:

  • automake
  • autoconf
  • gtk-doc
  • gnome-common
  • glib2
  • libtool
  • pkgconfig
  • intltool
  • libffi

While the following packages are optional, they are necessary for the proper functioning of Seed's library of examples.

  • cairo
  • readline
  • libsoup
