BuildingCodeLiteOnAMac

Building CodeLite on OSX

Step 0: Prerequisites

• You should have cmake on your OSX ( I used Homebrew to install it )
• Download wxWidgets - CodeLite requires version 3.1 or later
• git client, again use Homebrew to install it
• Install latest Xcode from Apple ( codelite requires a decent compiler, clang 5.1 and later )
• Install the Command Line Tools (open Xcode -> Preferences -> Downloads and install the command line tools). This will place clang/clang++ in the default locations '/usr/bin'

Step 1: Build wxWidgets

Extract wxWidgets sources. Let's assume that you have extracted them to /Users/you/src/wx-src/ :

cd /Users/you/src/wx-src/
mkdir build-release
cd build-release
../configure --enable-shared --enable-monolithic --with-osx_cocoa CXX='clang++ -std=c++11 -stdlib=libc++' CC=clang --disable-debug --disable-mediactrl
make -j4
sudo make install

Step 2: Build CodeLite

• Git clone codelite sources:

cd /Users/you/src/
git clone https://github.com/eranif/codelite.git

• Create the build folder, run cmake followed make:

cd /Users/you/src/codelite
mkdir build-release
cd build-release
cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DWITH_PCH=1
make -j4
make install

• Launch the bundle (still inside the build-release folder):

open codelite.app/
