| 72 | These steps are only needed to do development of NDN-CPP code and update the build system. |
| 73 | First follow the prerequisites above for your platforms. |
Jeff Thompson | 057d318 | 2013-08-09 17:02:25 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 74 | |
Jeff Thompson | 97f4ade | 2013-11-22 12:06:49 -0800 | [diff] [blame] | 75 | * Mac OS X 10.7.3, Mac OS X 10.8.4, Mac OS X 10.9 |
Jeff Thompson | 18f43e1 | 2013-11-21 12:45:12 -0800 | [diff] [blame] | 76 | Install MacPorts from http://www.macports.org/install.php |
| 77 | In a terminal, enter: |
| 78 | sudo port install automake |
| 79 | sudo port install autoconf |
| 80 | sudo port install libtool |
Jeff Thompson | 18f43e1 | 2013-11-21 12:45:12 -0800 | [diff] [blame] | 81 | |
| 82 | Now you can add source code files and update Makefile.am. |
| 83 | After updating, change directory to the NDN-CPP root and enter the following to build the Makefile: |
| 84 | ./autogen.sh |
