I could not get googletest or googlemock to build, and removed them from my fork…they are not needed to run zcash itself, only full-test-suite.sh or rpc-test.sh
oh, just curious @clarkw , do you happen to be either a registered Apple Developer (I am) or have in depth C++ knowledge (I don’t, I’ve mostly just done lots of build/release engineering with it over the years)?
I intend to do a signed release with my Apple Dev credentials once this sucker builds and I managed to get it packaged with xcode.
Can I also access it on an IPhone 7? Kindly post a step by step guide here, tnx
@anon47418038 so can you make an “how-to” compile zcash client for MacOS (OS X)?
Thanks for the attention.
When I get all the way there, yes!
btw is this redsn0w from that project, or just an homage? 
I think I am a registered Apple developer. Don’t you just need an Apple developer account to be one? I am expert at c, pretty good at c++, but mostly these days I do webdev with the LAMP stack. Unfortunately I have a ton of other crap to do, or I would probably have this sucker working by now. For instance, right now I have to go clear a metric shit-ton of leaves off my lawn. Hopefully I can get back to it tonight. Good luck with your debugging.
I’ve gotta update my fork with all the upstream changes from rc2, which aren’t tiny in some ways. Could make things better, probably make them worse
there won’t ever be an iPhone version of the command line server that Apple will let into the App Store, so it would only run on jailbroken iPhones, assuming that a future Mac build could be built to run on iPhone (which it MAYBE could, compiling command line stuff for both targets is very similar).
I’m not the jailbreak tool (redsn0w) 
, just someone who loves that tool.
Btw thanks, I will wait the “how-to”.

We’re still not there yet, but getting closer.

@adam I got past the last errors I had by using ginstall instead of install. Now it seems like the mac linker is not up to the task. I installed gnu ld by installing coreutils, binutils using brew. It seems like brew is not installing a gnu ld. Anyone have an idea about this? Here is my compile history:

I’d love to QA your build instructions. Please throw them my way at your earliest convenience!!
Congrats on completing the port! clark at knowideas.com
And nm, I found your github repo.

It builds now, I don’t know if you saw the latest links in the forum
here…a link to the latest releases (admittedly poor!) build instructions
on github will always be on my website: https://zcash.mercerweiss.com
Its known to build on El Capitan, and I desperately need feedback from
users on older and newer releases of OS X, especially as I approach a
binary release of it as Zcash.app (Mac dmg installer, etc).
Thanks!
