This tutorial aims to simplify the compilation of TrinityCore on Mac OS X by using Homebrew, the missing package manager for OS X, to install TrinityCore dependencies, in order to keep things simple. 1) Install Homebrew For those who don't have Homebrew installed, you can easily install it typing: ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)" 2) Install Xcode and Command Line Tools Install XCode using the App Store, then type: xcodeselect --install 3) Install dependencies brew update brew install mysql openssl readline cmake boost zlib brew link zlib --force 4) Getting sources Move to the folder where you want to place the TrinityCore sources, then type: git clone https://github.com/TrinityCore/TrinityCore.git cd TrinityCore If ( and ONLY if ) you want to compile 3.3.5 type: git checkout 3.3.5 Create build folder: mkdir build cd build 5) Generate the XCode project files IMPORTANT: replace /Users/username/tc-server of the following command with the path where you want to install the TrinityCore server. then type: cmake ../ -GXcode \ -DMYSQL_ADD_INCLUDE_PATH=/usr/local/include \ -DMYSQL_LIBRARY=/usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient_r.dylib \ -DREADLINE_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/local/opt/readline/include \ -DREADLINE_LIBRARY=/usr/local/opt/readline/lib/libreadline.dylib \ -DBOOST_INCLUDEDIR=/usr/local/include \ -DBOOST_LIBRARYDIR=/usr/local/lib \ -DOPENSSL_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/local/opt/openssl/include \ -DOPENSSL_SSL_LIBRARIES=/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib/libssl.dylib \ -DOPENSSL_CRYPTO_LIBRARIES=/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib/libcrypto.dylib \ -DZMQ_LIBRARY=/usr/local/opt/zeromq/lib/libzmq.dylib \ -DZMQ_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/local/opt/zeromq/include \ -DZLIB_ROOT=/usr/local/Cellar/zlib/1.2.8 \ -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/Users/username/tc-server \ -DWITH_WARNINGS=1 6) Building the binaries Type the following to build the binaries: xcodebuild -target install -config Release I have tested this tutorial both for branch 3.3.5 and 6.x using a MacBook Pro Retina 15" running: - a fresh Mac OS X 10.9.5 (Mavericks) - a fresh Mac OS X 10.10.3 (Yosemite) - Mac OS X 10.11.3 (El Capitan) and it worked fine, give me your feedback.
