From the App Store, download XCode 14.3.1. Make sure that it's the source of the active developer directory. Note that using an XCode version more recent than 14.3.1 will result in an FFmpeg build break.
xcode-select -p should return /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer. If it's not the case, run sudo xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode.app
Note that XCode 15 is not compatible with Boost 1.80. If XCode 15 is installed, RV will automatically default to using Boost 1.81 instead. Install XCode 14.3.1 if you absolutely want to use Boost version 1.80 as per VFX reference platform CY2023.
Please reference this workaround to use XCode 14.3.1 on Sonoma, as it is no longer compatible by default.
Homebrew is the one stop shop providing all the build requirements. You can install it following the instructions on the Homebrew page.
Make sure Homebrew's binary directory is in your PATH and that brew is resolved from your terminal.
Most of the build requirements can be installed by running the following brew install command:
brew install cmake ninja readline sqlite3 xz zlib tcl-tk autoconf automake libtool python yasm clang-format black meson nasm pkg-config glewMake sure python resolves in your terminal. In some case, depending on how the python formula is built, there's no python symbolic link.
In that case, you can create one with this command ln -s python3 $(dirname $(which python3))/python.
See the Using a Python Virtual Environment in README.md in the root directory before running any of the commands in this section. Python packages should be installed inside of a virtual environment.
Some of the RV build scripts requires extra python packages. They can be installed using the requirements.txt at the root of the repository.
python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt Download the last version of Qt 5.15.x that you can get using the online installer on the Qt page. Logs, Android, iOS and WebAssembly are not required to build OpenRV.
WARNING: If you fetch Qt from another source, make sure to build it with SSL support, that it contains everything required to build PySide2, and that the file structure is similar to the official package.
Note: Qt5 from homebrew is known to not work well with OpenRV.
From the macOS System Settings/Privacy & Security/App Management, allow Terminal to update or delete other applications.
