Genesis/MegaDrive Development Environment for Mac OS X
This project is based on mattkubilus's gendev project. Check his wonderful work first,please! https://code.google.com/p/gendev/
The purpose of my project is to make gendev be able to build and work properly on Mac OSX with minimal changes applied.
###OS and Build tools Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 with Command Line Tools for XCode 6.4 is the reference build environment for current release.That means it should be built with Apple LLVM 6.1.0(clang- 602.0.53).
4.9G disk storage space is required for temporary obj files and target files generation.
*I have not test building it with toolchain in MacPorts.So if you have MacPorts installed and got failed in building.I suggest you install a clean OS X in a Virtual Machine and get a copy of XCode command line tool from https://developer.apple.com/downloads/
Wget is required during the build progress to download several external source packages.
#Download, compile and install wget:
curl -O http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/wget/wget-1.16.tar.gz
tar -xzf wget-1.16.tar.gz
cd wget-1.16
./configure --with-ssl=openssl
make
sudo make install
cd .. && rm -rf wget*
###Build path accessibility The path /opt/toolchains/gen/ may required to be created manually with root permission. And it should be chmoded to make the shell user writable.
sudo mkdir -p /opt/toolchains/gen
sudo chmod -R 777 /opt
git clone http://github.com/SONIC3D/gendev-macos.git
cd gendev-macos
make
Make proper exports for the toolchain before compile any genesis/32x project:
export GENDEV=/opt/toolchains/gen
export PATH=$GENDEV/sh-elf/bin:$GENDEV/m68k-elf/bin:$GENDEV/bin:$PATH
