The following are installation instructions for installing Wt (from source) on OS X 10.10 "Yosemite", using Homebrew to install dependencies. The build toolchain on macosx Yosemite is based on CLang and libc++, and requires the installation of Xcode and the Xcode Command-Line tools.

h3. Get Homebrew
16 1 Kevin Patterson
17 2 Kevin Patterson
This guide relies on the excellent "Homebrew":http://brew.sh package manager, which facilitates the fast and easy installation of many popular packages and their dependencies on macosx. We will use Homebrew to install the dependencies that Wt requires, as well as additional packages that enable optional features in Wt.

If you haven't installed Homebrew already, it's very easy to do using the following command in Terminal:
20 1 Kevin Patterson
<pre>
21
$ ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
22
</pre>

h3. Install Base Dependencies
25
26 1 Kevin Patterson
With Homebrew installed, let's install the base dependencies for Wt:
27
<pre>
28
$ brew install cmake
29
$ brew install boost
30
</pre>
31
32 13 Kevin Patterson
h3. Install Additional Dependencies
33
34
For this guide, we we be enabling the following optional features in Wt:
35
* HTTPS (SSL)
36
* FastCGI
37
* MySQL
38
* Graphics drawing and PDF Generation
39
40 1 Kevin Patterson
If you want FastCGI support:
41
<pre>
42
$ brew install fcgi
43
</pre>
44
45
If you want SSL (HTTPS) support in Wt's built-in web server:
46
<pre>
47
$ brew install openssl
48
</pre>
49
50 13 Kevin Patterson
If you want support for MySQL:
51 1 Kevin Patterson
<pre>
52
$ brew install mysql-connector-c
53
</pre>
54
55 13 Kevin Patterson
If you want graphics drawing and PDF generation support:
56 1 Kevin Patterson
<pre>
57
$ brew install libpng
58
$ brew install libtiff
59
$ brew install libharu
60
$ brew install pango
61 4 Kevin Patterson
$ brew install GraphicsMagick
62 1 Kevin Patterson
</pre>

64 5 Kevin Patterson
*NOTE: Homebrew detects existing packages on your system, and by default will not overwrite existing packages when installing new ones. Please pay attention to the messages displayed during the brew process. Mac OS X includes a few packages that conflict (harmlessly) with some of the packages we are installing (e.g. OpenSSL). When an a package already exists on your system, Homebrew will place the new package in a different location, and notify you during the install. In the Wt configuration process, I have modified some of the library prefixes passed to cmake to point to these alternate locations for the affected libraries installed by brew.*

h3. Download Wt
67 1 Kevin Patterson
68
At the time of this writing, you'll need to download the latest version of Wt using git, in order to support Boost version 1.57 installed by brew:
69
<pre>
70
$ git clone git://github.com/kdeforche/wt.git
71
</pre>
72

h2. Building Wt 
74 1 Kevin Patterson
75 12 Kevin Patterson
To build Wt, do the following:
76 1 Kevin Patterson
<pre>
77
$ cd wt
78
$ mkdir build
79
$ cd build
80
$ cmake \
81
     -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS='-stdlib=libc++' -DCMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS='-stdlib=libc++' \
82
     -DCMAKE_MODULE_LINKER_FLAGS='-stdlib=libc++' -DWT_CPP_11_MODE='-std=c++11' \
83 10 Kevin Patterson
     -DMYSQL_LIBRARY=mysqlclient -DMYSQL_PREFIX=/usr/local/Cellar/mysql-connector-c/6.1.3 \
84
     -DWT_WRASTERIMAGE_IMPLEMENTATION=GraphicsMagick -DGM_PREFIX=/usr/local \
85
     -DSSL_PREFIX=/usr/local/Cellar/openssl/1.0.2 \
86 1 Kevin Patterson
     ../
87
$ make
88
$ make -C examples # to build the examples
89
$ sudo make install
90
</pre>
91
92
You may receive warnings that not all features will be built, but Wt doesn't require those. You can of course install other dependencies too using brew.

94 11 Kevin Patterson
If you successfully enable other optional features in Wt, or if you know how to get Wt's OpenGL support built under macosx, please contact me at _kevpatt~at~khptech.com_ and/or consider updating this Wiki page.

Here's how to compile and run the "Hello World" sample application from the "Wt Online Tutorial":http://www.webtoolkit.eu/wt/doc/tutorial/wt.html
101
102
Assuming the code for "Hello World" has been saved in source file named "hello.cc":
103
<pre>
104
$ c++ -o hello hello.cc -lwthttp -lwt -I/usr/local/include -L/usr/local/lib
105
$ ./hello --docroot . --http-address 0.0.0.0 --http-port 9090
