Developing on macOS
Using xmake
Step 1: Install xmake and xrepo
For Homebrew:
brew install xmake qt@5 ccache
brew link qt@5
Sometimes, we need the latest xrepo:
bash
xrepo update-repo
Step 2: Compile
bash
xmake
Step 3: Run unit test
bash
TEXMACS_PATH=$PWD/TeXmacs xmake run --yes --verbose --diagnosis --group=tests
Step 4: Install to build/macosx/{arch}/release/Mogan.app/
bash
# x86_64
xmake install -o build/macosx/x86_64/release/Mogan.app/Contents/Resources/ mogan_install
# arm64
xmake install -o build/macosx/arm64/release/Mogan.app/Contents/Resources/ mogan_install
Step 5: Launch Mogan Editor
Sometimes (for macOS M1), we need to codesign it first
bash
codesign --force --deep --sign - ./build/macosx/arm64/release/Mogan.app
bash
# x86_64
./build/macosx/x86_64/release/Mogan.app/Contents/MacOS/Mogan
# arm64
./build/macosx/arm64/release/Mogan.app/Contents/MacOS/Mogan
Using cmake
Assuming you are in the project root of mogan:
bash
mkdir build && cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$HOME/software
make install -j12
Now, you can launch Mogan via:
bash
$HOME/software/bin/mogan.sh
Using make install and developing in a separated folder could help you setup a clean environment. If you are familiar with the source code, you can change the TEXMACS_PATH to develop on the Scheme part without having to build the C++ part.
