{{Distribution intro}}


== Getting source files ==
EDuke32 supports macOS.
* Current version (You need to install the ''subversion'' program) :
<pre>svn co https://eduke32.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/eduke32/polymer/eduke32</pre>
* [http://dukeworld.duke4.net/eduke32/synthesis Source tarballs] (Lite subversion snapshots, it does not include metadata, Apple compiled libraries, third-party jaudiolib and Photoshop files).
* [http://dukeworld.duke4.net/eduke32/synthesis/old/ Old] and [http://dukeworld.duke4.net/eduke32/old_versions/source_code/ Older versions].


== Compiler Setup ==
== Prerequisites ==


#Install Xcode.
Install the Xcode command line utilities and [http://brew.sh/ Homebrew].
#You need to define the root directory of your SDL installation. Edit the file ''build/Makefile.shared''. In most cases you only have to change SDLROOT to match your setup. For example: if you have [http://www.macports.org/ MacPorts] (aka DarwinPorts) installed then use ''/opt/local''.
#The necessary [[#Frameworks|Frameworks]] should be installed globally.
#Run <code>./osxbuild.sh</code> and hope for the best! (If you are building on PowerPC, just type <code>make</code>.)


== Frameworks ==
Run the following in a terminal window:


[[File:macosx_frameworks_missing.png|right|This error will be displayed if EDuke32's required frameworks are not installed. You may click "ignore".]]
brew install make sdl2 flac libvpx


EDuke32 requires the following frameworks to function:
== Building ==


*[http://www.libsdl.org/download-1.2.php SDL.framework]
Type <code>gmake -j4</code> and hope for the best! For debug builds, run <code>gmake RELEASE=0</code>.
*[http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_mixer/ SDL_mixer.framework]


The error message at the right will be displayed if these frameworks are not properly installed. You may install these at any or all of the following locations:
== Game Data ==
 
*Global: <code>/Library/Frameworks</code>
*Per-User: <code>~/Library/Frameworks</code>
*Per-App (Portable): <code><app bundle>/Contents/Frameworks</code>
