BuildingPHD2OnOSX

Building PHD2 on macOS - 32-bit

Instructions for building a 32-bit version of PHD2 that will run on macOS 10.14 Mojave or older

Install CMake version 3.5.2

https://www.cmake.org/download/

NOTE: newer versions of CMake like 3.8.0 do not currently work for building PHD2. CMake version 3.5.2 is known to work, so please install that version for building PHD2.

Install Xcode 4 or newer and the Xcode Command Line Tools

Our published builds are done with Xcode 4, but any newer version can be used for development.

Install the MacOSX10.7 SDK to support deploying PHD2 on older Macs

Download Xcode 4.6.3 from developer.apple.com, extract the MacOSX10.7.sdk folder and put it under /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs

Download and build wxWidgets-3.0.5

https://wxwidgets.org/downloads/

cd to the wxWidgets-3.0.5 source directory and run the following commands to build wxWidgets 32-bit static libs and install them to a location $WXWIN

./configure --enable-universal_binary=i386,x86_64 --disable-shared --with-libpng=builtin --with-cocoa --prefix=$WXWIN \
             --with-macosx-sdk=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.7.sdk/ \
             --with-macosx-version-min=10.7 \
             CXXFLAGS="-stdlib=libc++ -std=c++11" \
             OBJCXXFLAGS="-stdlib=libc++ -std=c++11" \
             CPPFLAGS="-stdlib=libc++"  \
             LDFLAGS="-stdlib=libc++" CXX=clang++ CXXCPP="clang++ -E" CC=clang CPP="clang -E"
make
make install

Install GNU gettext

an easy way to install gettext is to install Mac Ports, then port install gettext

Get the phd2 source code from GitHub

git clone https://github.com/OpenPHDGuiding/phd2.git

Generate the Makefiles

cd phd2
mkdir -p tmp
cd tmp
cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" -DwxWidgets_PREFIX_DIRECTORY=$WXWIN ..

Build PHD2

make

This will build PHD2.app
