### SQLCipher
       
       cd <your development directory>
       git clone https://github.com/sqlcipher/sqlcipher.git
       cd sqlcipher
       ./configure --disable-shared --disable-tcl --enable-static --enable-tempstore=yes CFLAGS="-DSQLITE_HAS_CODEC -I/opt/local/include" LDFLAGS="-lcrypto"
       make 
       sudo make install

NOTE, might be necessary to *chmod 000 /usr/local/ssl* temporarily during *./configure* if 
homebrew uses newer, non-stock ssl dependencies found there. Configure might get confused.

You can now compile RS into Qt Creator or with terminal

       cd <your development directory>
       git clone https://github.com/RetroShare/RetroShare.git retroshare
       cd retroshare
       qmake; make

You can change Target and SDK in *./retroshare.pri:82* changing value of QMAKE_MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET and QMAKE_MAC_SDK

You can find compiled application on *./retroshare/retroshare-gui/src/retroshare.app*
