Compiling on macOS

The process is not very clean at the moment.

1. Homebrew should be installed.
2. Install Rust (suggestion: rustup)
3. The following packages should be installed via Homebrew. They have a lot of dependencies, so take your time. (Note: if the packages are built from source, you may need to install svn -- svn is not required when bottles are used).
   • meson
   • gtk4
   • gtksourceview5
   • desktop-file-utils
   • pygobject3
   • libadwaita
   • adwaita-icon-theme
   • shared-mime-info
4. To automatically build an app, use the script build-aux/macos-build.sh. As long as you have all the dependencies installed, it will compile an application into build/cartero-darwin. Use build-aux/macos-build.sh devel to build a development version and build-aux/macos-build.sh stable to build a stable version.
5. If you want to compile manually (for instance, if you are going to actually develop on a Mac), before compiling, you have to export the following environment variable: export GETTEXT_DIR=$(brew --prefix)/opt/gettext, so that it can actually pick your gettext library.
6. To compile the application manually, refer to README.md. Specifically, both cargo build and build-aux/cargo-build.sh should run as long as you have all the dependencies.
