Compiling on MacOS #57

Closed neurolabusc closed 5 years ago

neurolabusc commented 7 years ago

Hello- It is great that the releases include a compiled Windows executable. As a feature request, can the documentation be extended to include instructions for how to compile the comprehensive standalone console program on other distributions. The naive g++ -o ms main.cpp does not work on MacOS. There is a precompiled executable for MacOS, but it does not appear to be a recent version. Thanks for a terrific program.

You should be able to use CMake after checking out the code:

mkdir out
cd out && cmake .. && make

It requires truetype libraries to build (it will complain if it can't find them). Both CMake and Truetype development libs can easily be obtained using homebrew.

Terrific, that works. As a feature request, would be great to include this in the README.md

Added mention in Readme.
