[[br]] Now you will want to download the fink commander, its a gui for the fink program that makes it much easier to work with. you can get it from the [http://finkcommander.sourceforge.net/ sourceforge site][[br]] '''GCC, the GNU Compiler'''[[br]] Read about installation of the [http://www.tech-recipes.com/mac_system_administration_tips726.html MacOSX coding env] or just download the [http://developer.apple.com/tools/xcode/ "XCode Tools"] from the [https://connect.apple.com apple development center] where you will have to create an account if you don't have one already. Wow, the xcode package is about 300MB big! [[br]] '''Install Autoconf''' [[br]] Download the newest * autoconf you can find from fink commander. [[br]] '''Install Subversion'''[[br]] Install subversion via the fink commander: choose the * svn-client-ssl package. === Installing the Libraries === Use the fink commander to install * sdl * sdl-image * sdl-mixer Unfortunately SDL_ttf is not installable via Fink Commander, so download the source directly from [http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_ttf] and compile it yourself. Before installing the SDL_ttf library make sure you have freetype2.0 or later installed on your Mac. You can get it also with finkcommander: * freetype2.0 To install SDL_ttf to the fink directory use the following configure command: {{{ wraith user # ./configure --prefix=/sw/ }}} Then compile and install by revoking. You will have to be superuser to install the libraries (admin is not enough). To enable superuser login: {{{ wraith user # sudo passwd root }}} this will set the password for the root account if you havnt done this before. {{{ wraith user # ./configure . wraith user # make . wraith user # su . wraith user # make install }}} == Compiling == Now switch to the linux guides and continue there with the compiling sections.
