Mac OS X Build Instructions and Notes

The commands in this guide should be executed in a Terminal application. The built-in one is located in /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app.

Preparation

Install the OS X command line tools:
xcode-select --install
When the popup appears, click Install.
Then install Homebrew.

Base build dependencies

brew install automake libtool pkg-config
If you want to build the disk image with make deploy (.dmg / optional), you need RSVG
brew install librsvg

Building

It's possible that your PATH environment variable contains some problematic strings, run
export PATH=$(echo "$PATH" | sed -e '/\\/!s/ /\\ /g') # fix whitespaces
Next, follow the instructions in build-generic

Running

Jagoancoin Core is now available at ./src/jagoancoind
Before running, it's recommended you create an RPC configuration file.
echo -e "rpcuser=jagoancoinrpc\nrpcpassword=$(xxd -l 16 -p /dev/urandom)" > "/Users/${USER}/Library/Application Support/JagoancoinCore/jagoancoin.conf"
chmod 600 "/Users/${USER}/Library/Application Support/JagoancoinCore/jagoancoin.conf"
The first time you run jagoancoind, it will start downloading the blockchain. This process could take several hours.
You can monitor the download process by looking at the debug.log file:
tail -f $HOME/Library/Application\ Support/JagoancoinCore/debug.log

Other commands:

./src/jagoancoind -daemon # Starts the jagoancoin daemon.
./src/jagoancoin-cli --help # Outputs a list of command-line options.
./src/jagoancoin-cli help # Outputs a list of RPC commands when the daemon is running.
