Building Ryzom Core Client including NeL with CMake on Mac OS X¶

For some information about the quite new native Mac OS X Support, see MacClientState.

Pre Requirement¶

• Download and install XCode
• Download and install MacPorts

Don't forget to add MacPorts in your PATH:

echo 'export PATH=${PATH}:/opt/local/bin' >> ~/.profile

Installing Dependencies¶

If you are using Mac OS X 10.6, you might want to install the packages with the +universal flag to use them for 32bit and 64bit builds, default is 64bit on 10.6, which is ok for Ryzom Core Client and NeL.

• Launch the Terminal application and execute the following command in it.

sudo port install mercurial p7zip boost cmake curl freetype jpeg libwww libxml2 lua zlib libpng python_select libogg libvorbis python26
sudo python_select python26

• Install luabind, see InstallingLuabind.

Get the sources¶

See Getting_Source.

Build¶

The given list of CMake options is just an example. For a complete list see: CMakeOptions.

cd code/
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DWITH_NEL_TOOLS=OFF -DWITH_NEL_SAMPLES=OFF -DWITH_NEL_TESTS=OFF -DWITH_RYZOM_SERVER=OFF -DWITH_RYZOM_TOOLS=OFF ..
make
sudo make install

The install process created /Applications/ryzom_client.app for you.

• Download the latest "Windows Ryzom Core client": http://dev.ryzom.com/projects/ryzom/wiki/WindowsBinaries
• Extract it and follow this instructions http://dev.ryzom.com/projects/ryzom/wiki/MacBinaries#Providing-the-client-with-the-data-directory

Static Build¶

This section shows how to create a static Ryzom Core client built on Mac OS X. The resulting binary only depends on system libs, therefore can be moved easily to another Mac OS X machine.

cd code/
mkdir build-static
cd build-static
cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DWITH_STATIC=ON -DWITH_STATIC_DRIVERS=ON -DWITH_NEL_TOOLS=OFF -DWITH_NEL_SAMPLES=OFF -DWITH_NEL_TESTS=OFF -DWITH_RYZOM_SERVER=OFF -DWITH_RYZOM_TOOLS=OFF -DWITH_STATIC_EXTERNAL=ON ..
make

To check which libraries are needed by your binary run:

otool -L bin/ryzom_client.app/Contents/MacOS/ryzom_client

You should only see libraries which reside in /usr/lib or /System/Library/Frameworks.

Data¶

You will need to put the data for the client into

ryzom_client.app/Contents/Resources

Also you will need to put the atys.icns for the icon into that folder.
