+Mac OS X Build Instructions and Notes
+====================================
+This guide will show you how to build novacoind(headless client) for OSX.
+Notes
+-----
-Mac OS X bitcoind build instructions
-Laszlo Hanyecz <solar@heliacal.net>
-Douglas Huff <dhuff@jrbobdobbs.org>
+* Tested on OS X 10.7 through 10.10 on 64-bit Intel processors only.
+* All of the commands should be executed in a Terminal application. The
+built-in one is located in `/Applications/Utilities`.
-See readme-qt.rst for instructions on building Bitcoin QT, the
-graphical user interface.
+Preparation
+-----------
-Tested on 10.5 and 10.6 intel. PPC is not supported because it's big-endian.
+You need to install XCode with all the options checked so that the compiler
+and everything is available in /usr not just /Developer. XCode should be
+available on your OS X installation media, but if not, you can get the
+current version from https://developer.apple.com/xcode/. If you install
+Xcode 4.3 or later, you'll need to install its command line tools. This can
+be done in `Xcode > Preferences > Downloads > Components` and generally must
+be re-done or updated every time Xcode is updated.
-All of the commands should be executed in Terminal.app.. it's in
-/Applications/Utilities
+There's also an assumption that you already have `git` installed. If
+not, it's the path of least resistance to install [Github for Mac](https://mac.github.com/)
+(OS X 10.7+) or
+[Git for OS X](https://code.google.com/p/git-osx-installer/). It is also
+available via Homebrew.
-You need to install XCode with all the options checked so that the compiler and
-everything is available in /usr not just /Developer I think it comes on the DVD
-but you can get the current version from http://developer.apple.com
+You will also need to install [Homebrew](http://brew.sh) in order to install library
+dependencies.
+The installation of the actual dependencies is covered in the Instructions
+sections below.
-1. Clone the github tree to get the source code:
+Instructions: Homebrew
+----------------------
-git clone git@github.com:bitcoin/bitcoin.git bitcoin
+#### Install dependencies using Homebrew
-2. Download and install MacPorts from http://www.macports.org/
+ brew install autoconf automake libtool boost openssl pkg-config protobuf qt qrencode
-2a. (for 10.7 Lion)
- Edit /opt/local/etc/macports/macports.conf and uncomment "build_arch i386"
+#### Installing berkeley-db4 using Homebrew
-3. Install dependencies from MacPorts
+The homebrew package for berkeley-db4 has been broken for some time. It will install without Java though.
-sudo port install boost db48 openssl miniupnpc
+Running this command takes you into brew's interactive mode, which allows you to configure, make, and install by hand:
+```
+$ brew install https://raw.github.com/mxcl/homebrew/master/Library/Formula/berkeley-db4.rb -–without-java
+```
-Optionally install qrencode (and set USE_QRCODE=1):
-sudo port install qrencode
+The rest of these commands are run inside brew interactive mode:
+```
+/private/tmp/berkeley-db4-UGpd0O/db-4.8.30 $ cd ..
+/private/tmp/berkeley-db4-UGpd0O $ db-4.8.30/dist/configure --prefix=/usr/local/Cellar/berkeley-db4/4.8.30 --mandir=/usr/local/Cellar/berkeley-db4/4.8.30/share/man --enable-cxx
+/private/tmp/berkeley-db4-UGpd0O $ make
+/private/tmp/berkeley-db4-UGpd0O $ make install
+/private/tmp/berkeley-db4-UGpd0O $ exit
+```
-4. Now you should be able to build bitcoind:
+After exiting, you'll get a warning that the install is keg-only, which means it wasn't symlinked to `/usr/local`. You don't need it to link it to build novacoin, but if you want to, here's how:
-cd bitcoin/src
-make -f makefile.osx
+ $ brew link --force berkeley-db4
-Run:
- ./bitcoind --help # for a list of command-line options.
-Run
- ./bitcoind -daemon # to start the bitcoin daemon.
-Run
- ./bitcoind help # When the daemon is running, to get a list of RPC commands
+
+### Building `novacoind`
+
+1. Clone the github tree to get the source code and go into the directory.
+
+ git clone https://github.com/novacoin-project/novacoin.git
+ cd novacoin
+
+2. Build NovaCoin-Qt application:
+ qmake
+ make
+
+3. Build bitcoind:
+ cd src
+ make -f makefile.osx novacoind
+
+Use Qt Creator as IDE
+------------------------
+You can use Qt Creator as IDE, for debugging and for manipulating forms, etc.
+Download Qt Creator from http://www.qt.io/download/. Download the "community edition" and only install Qt Creator (uncheck the rest during the installation process).
+
+1. Make sure you installed everything through homebrew mentioned above
+2. In Qt Creator do "File" -> "Open Project"
+3. Select novacoin-qt.pro as project file.
+4. In the "Projects" tab select "Manage Kits..."
+5. Select the default "Desktop" kit and select "Clang (x86 64bit in /usr/bin)" as compiler
+6. Select LLDB as debugger (you might need to set the path to your installtion)
+7. Start debugging with Qt Creator
+
+Creating a release build
+------------------------
+You can ignore this section if you are building `novacoind` for your own use.
+
+novacoind binary isn't included in the NovaCoin-Qt.app bundle.
+
+If you are building `novacoind` or `NovaCoin-Qt` for others, your build machine should be set up
+as follows for maximum compatibility:
+
+All dependencies should be compiled with these flags:
+
+ -mmacosx-version-min=10.7
+ -arch x86_64
+ -isysroot $(xcode-select --print-path)/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.7.sdk
+
+Once dependencies are compiled, you can create the .dmg disk image:
+
+./contrib/macdeploy/macdeployqtplus NovaCoin-Qt.app -dmg -fancy ./contrib/macdeploy/fancy.plist
+
+Running
+-------
+
+It's now available at `./novacoind`, provided that you are still in the `src`
+directory. We have to first create the RPC configuration file, though.
+
+Run `./novacoind` to get the filename where it should be put, or just try these
+commands:
+
+ echo -e "rpcuser=novacoinrpc\nrpcpassword=$(xxd -l 16 -p /dev/urandom)" > "/Users/${USER}/Library/Application Support/NovaCoin/novacoin.conf"
+ chmod 600 "/Users/${USER}/Library/Application Support/NovaCoin/novacoin.conf"
+
+The next time you run it, it will start downloading the blockchain, but it won't
+output anything while it's doing this. This process may take several hours;
+you can monitor its process by looking at the debug.log file, like this:
+
+ tail -f $HOME/Library/Application\ Support/NovaCoin/debug.log
+
+Other commands:
+-------
+
+ ./novacoind -daemon # to start the bitcoin daemon.
+ ./novacoind --help # for a list of command-line options.
+ ./novacoind help # When the daemon is running, to get a list of RPC commands
