cantata-osx-buildinstructions

The following steps are used to compile Cantata, and create the OS X application bundle.

1. Install Homebrew and use it to install the packages qt, cmake, oxygen-icons, and ffmpeg.
2. Open a terminal window in the source directory and run the following commands, replacing <user> with your local username:

Create the build directory:

> mkdir build
> cd build

Generate makefiles:

> cmake .. -DENABLE_KDE=OFF

Compile:

> make

Make the .app bundle:

> sudo make install

Fix permissions on the .app bundle:

> sudo chown -R <user>:staff cantata.app/

Copy icons to the .app bundle (assuming oxygen-icons was installed to default location):

> mkdir cantata.app/Contents/Resources/icons
> cp -r /usr/local/share/icons/oxygen cantata.app/Contents/Resources/icons

And you're finished
