Update macOS Build Instructions for Dependency and Configuration IssuesMac os build fix #1463

Closed firstcryptoman closed 2 weeks ago

firstcryptoman commented 5 months ago

Description

This pull request revises the macOS build instructions for the Firo wallet, addressing dependency recognition and configuration issues on macOS Sonoma 14.5 with an M chip Mac.

Key Changes Include:

  1. Boost Library Configuration:

    • Adjusted the build instructions to ensure proper recognition of the Boost libraries, which were not initially recognized. This includes specifying the correct paths for the Boost headers and libraries in the configuration settings.

  2. Dependency Installation Adjustments:

    • Updated the instructions to include m4 and python-setuptools in the Homebrew installation commands, addressing issues where these tools were not recognized post-installation. This ensures a more streamlined setup and reduces configuration errors during the build process.

  3. Environment Setup:

    • Outlined the necessary steps for setting up the development environment on macOS, with considerations for the specific challenges posed by the latest macOS versions and hardware configurations.

Purpose:

The updates aim to streamline the setup process for developers on macOS, ensuring all key dependencies like Boost, m4, and python-setuptools are installed and recognized correctly, enhancing the clarity and accuracy of the build instructions.

Testing:

These revised instructions have been tested on macOS Sonoma 14.5 with an M chip Mac.

Tips ### Chat There are 3 ways to chat with [CodeRabbit](https://coderabbit.ai): - Review comments: Directly reply to a review comment made by CodeRabbit. Example: -- `I pushed a fix in commit , please review it.` -- `Generate unit testing code for this file.` - `Open a follow-up GitHub issue for this discussion.` - Files and specific lines of code (under the "Files changed" tab): Tag `@coderabbitai` in a new review comment at the desired location with your query. Examples: -- `@coderabbitai generate unit testing code for this file.` -- `@coderabbitai modularize this function.` - PR comments: Tag `@coderabbitai` in a new PR comment to ask questions about the PR branch. For the best results, please provide a very specific query, as very limited context is provided in this mode. Examples: -- `@coderabbitai gather interesting stats about this repository and render them as a table. Additionally, render a pie chart showing the language distribution in the codebase.` -- `@coderabbitai read src/utils.ts and generate unit testing code.` -- `@coderabbitai read the files in the src/scheduler package and generate a class diagram using mermaid and a README in the markdown format.` -- `@coderabbitai help me debug CodeRabbit configuration file.` Note: Be mindful of the bot's finite context window. It's strongly recommended to break down tasks such as reading entire modules into smaller chunks. For a focused discussion, use review comments to chat about specific files and their changes, instead of using the PR comments. ### CodeRabbit Commands (Invoked using PR comments) - `@coderabbitai pause` to pause the reviews on a PR. - `@coderabbitai resume` to resume the paused reviews. - `@coderabbitai review` to trigger an incremental review. This is useful when automatic reviews are disabled for the repository. - `@coderabbitai full review` to do a full review from scratch and review all the files again. - `@coderabbitai summary` to regenerate the summary of the PR. - `@coderabbitai resolve` resolve all the CodeRabbit review comments. - `@coderabbitai configuration` to show the current CodeRabbit configuration for the repository. - `@coderabbitai help` to get help. ### Other keywords and placeholders - Add `@coderabbitai ignore` anywhere in the PR description to prevent this PR from being reviewed. - Add `@coderabbitai summary` to generate the high-level summary at a specific location in the PR description. - Add `@coderabbitai` anywhere in the PR title to generate the title automatically. ### CodeRabbit Configuration File (`.coderabbit.yaml`) - You can programmatically configure CodeRabbit by adding a `.coderabbit.yaml` file to the root of your repository. - Please see the [configuration documentation](https://docs.coderabbit.ai/guides/configure-coderabbit) for more information. - If your editor has YAML language server enabled, you can add the path at the top of this file to enable auto-completion and validation: `# yaml-language-server: $schema=https://coderabbit.ai/integrations/schema.v2.json` ### Documentation and Community - Visit our [Documentation](https://coderabbit.ai/docs) for detailed information on how to use CodeRabbit. - Join our [Discord Community](https://discord.com/invite/GsXnASn26c) to get help, request features, and share feedback. - Follow us on [X/Twitter](https://twitter.com/coderabbitai) for updates and announcements.
