Installation/MacOSX

The task of building Paparazzi on for Apple MacOS X is on going.

The current installation instructions are as follows. As the process evolves and the more people begin to use it the process will become easier and more simplified.

Installing from source

1. Install the latest XCode http://developer.apple.com/technologies/tools/xcode.html
2. Install MacPorts from http://www.macports.org/install.php
3. Install GIT

   sudo port install git-core

4. Get a local copy of the Paparazzi Portability Support source

   git clone git://github.com/paparazzi/paparazzi-portability-support.git

5. edit /opt/local/etc/macports/sources.conf and above the rsync://... line add file://<local path>/paparazzi-portability-support/darwin/macports/ports/ [nosync] for example:

   file:///Users/dummyuser/projects/paparazzi/paparazzi-portability-support/darwin/macports/ports/ [nosync]

6. Install paparazzi

   sudo port install paparazzi

   # then go and have lunch, get a coffee, get some sleep. this will probably take a long time
7. edit /etc/profile and add export CPPFLAGS="-I/opt/local/include" (TODO: Remove the need for this)
