#Instructions for Setup of Pixie Development Environment on a Fresh Mac Installation

• Dependencies

  • Xcode + command line utilities
    • This should (as of OS X Yosemite) install appropriate versions of flex and bison (see below) -- so all dependencies should be met.
  • Flex version 2.5.35
    • run flex --version
    • Yosemite comes with Flex 2.5.35
    • If installation is missing: Install flex from source - version 2.5.35
      • Note: Macports version is 2.5.37 - and does not work well with Pixie (problem during make)
  • Bison version 2.X
    • Yosemite comes pre-built with bison 2.3

• Cross-compile Pixie

  • cd into Pixie-iOS/Pixie directory
  • run ./build_for_ios.sh
    • if getting permission errors, run as sudo, but this would only happen if a previous run as a sudo corrupted the permissions.
  • when build completes, cd into Pixie-iOS/Pixie/output and run ./merge-to-one-lib.sh
  • The final file should be in Pixie-iOS/Pixie/output/final-output/pixie_all-universal.a

• To use in an iOS project

  • drag-and-drop pixie_all-universal.a into project (copy files)
    • make sure it’s linked
