Compiling on Mac OS X

This is how we compile otclient on Mac OS X. XQuartz (X Window System implementation from Apple) is used to compile and run otclient. (We do not use the native Cocoa API for this purpose.) Also, you will need to know the basics of how using the terminal in Mac OS to follow this tutorial.

Requirements

• Mac OS X 10.6 or higher
• Command Line Tools (choose the latest)
• XQuartz
• Homebrew

You should install all mentioned requirements, in order. Sorry but it won't be covered here.

Installing needed libraries

HomeBrew is used to install most of the required libraries:

brew install \
  [email protected] \
  cmake \
  git \
  glew \
  libogg \
  libvorbis \
  [email protected] \
  physfs \
  gmp

Cloning and compiling

Before start executing the sequence of commands below, note that:

• You may need to change the included directory of your installed version of OpenSSL. Check your installed version with brew info openssl.
• If you're on an Apple Silicon Mac the prefix of HomeBrew dependencies directory could be in /opt/homebrew/Cellar/.
• If you run into problems during the build process, it's likely already been addressed in the Issues section. Start looking there.

git clone git://github.com/edubart/otclient.git

cd otclient

mkdir build

cd build

cmake \
  -DUSE_STATIC_LIBS=OFF \
  -DLUA_LIBRARY=/opt/homebrew/Cellar/[email protected]/5.1.5_8/lib/liblua.5.1.5.dylib \
  -DLUA_INCLUDE_DIR=/opt/homebrew/Cellar/[email protected]/5.1.5_8/include/lua5.1/ \
  -DBoost_INCLUDE_DIR=/opt/homebrew/Cellar/[email protected]/1.59.0/include/ \
  -DOPENSSL_INCLUDE_DIR=/opt/homebrew/Cellar/[email protected]/1.1.1p/include/ \
  -DGMP_INCLUDE_DIR=/opt/homebrew/Cellar/gmp/6.2.1_1/include/ \
  -DGMP_LIBRARY=/opt/homebrew/Cellar/gmp/6.2.1_1/lib/libgmp.dylib \
  ../

make -j$(sysctl -n hw.ncpu)

Now you can run the otclient output binary. It should be in the same directory:

./otclient
