cd luanti

Building for personal usage

Build

mkdir build
cd build

cmake .. \
    -DCMAKE_FIND_FRAMEWORK=LAST \
    -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=../build/macos/ \
    -DRUN_IN_PLACE=FALSE -DENABLE_GETTEXT=TRUE

make -j$(sysctl -n hw.logicalcpu)
make install

# Apple Silicon (M1/M2) Macs w/ MacOS >= BigSur signature for local run
codesign --force --deep -s - --entitlements ../misc/macos/entitlements/debug.entitlements macos/luanti.app

If you are using LuaJIT with MAP_JIT support use debug_map_jit.entitlements.

Run

open ./build/macos/luanti.app

Building for distribution

Generate Xcode project

mkdir build
cd build

cmake .. \
    -DCMAKE_FIND_FRAMEWORK=LAST \
    -DRUN_IN_PLACE=FALSE -DENABLE_GETTEXT=TRUE \
    -DFREETYPE_LIBRARY=/path/to/lib/dir/libfreetype.a \
    -DGETTEXT_INCLUDE_DIR=/path/to/include/dir \
    -DGETTEXT_LIBRARY=/path/to/lib/dir/libintl.a \
    -DLUA_LIBRARY=/path/to/lib/dir/libluajit-5.1.a \
    -DOGG_LIBRARY=/path/to/lib/dir/libogg.a \
    -DVORBIS_LIBRARY=/path/to/lib/dir/libvorbis.a \
    -DVORBISFILE_LIBRARY=/path/to/lib/dir/libvorbisfile.a \
    -DZSTD_LIBRARY=/path/to/lib/dir/libzstd.a \
    -DGMP_LIBRARY=/path/to/lib/dir/libgmp.a \
    -DJSON_LIBRARY=/path/to/lib/dir/libjsoncpp.a \
    -DENABLE_LEVELDB=OFF \
    -DENABLE_POSTGRESQL=OFF \
    -DENABLE_REDIS=OFF \
    -DJPEG_LIBRARY=/path/to/lib/dir/libjpeg.a \
    -DPNG_LIBRARY=/path/to/lib/dir/libpng.a \
    -DCMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS=-lbz2\
    -GXcode

If you are using LuaJIT with MAP_JIT support add -DXCODE_CODE_SIGN_ENTITLEMENTS=../misc/macos/entitlements/release_map_jit.entitlements.
