Get XCode & MacOSX SDK

Install XCode following this guide: XCode

To identify the correct version of Xcode to install, you need to know which OS you are running. Go to the [x] menu -> "About This Mac" and read the macOS version number.

If you are running the macOS Catalina >= 10.15, you can install Xcode directly from App Store using the instructions below.

You can find older versions of Xcode at Apple Developer Downloads. Find the appropriate .xip file for your macOS version

To install from App Store:

Select [x] menu - > "App Store…". Search for Xcode. Download and install.

Once Xcode has installed, you must drag the XCode icon into your Applications folder. After you have done this, open Xcode from the Applications folder by double-clicking on the icon and then follow the remaining instructions below.

Install XCode command line developer tools:

   $xcode-select --install

Start XCode to get it updated and to able C compiler to create executables.

Get Your MacOSX SDK if missing: MacOSX-SDKs

Edit retroshare.pri

macx:CONFIG *= rs_macos11.1
rs_macos10.8:CONFIG -= rs_macos11.1
rs_macos10.9:CONFIG -= rs_macos11.1
rs_macos10.10:CONFIG -= rs_macos11.1
rs_macos10.12:CONFIG -= rs_macos11.1
rs_macos10.13:CONFIG -= rs_macos11.1
rs_macos10.14:CONFIG -= rs_macos11.1
rs_macos10.15:CONFIG -= rs_macos11.1

Link Include & Libraries

Edit your retroshare.pri and add to macx-* section

INCLUDEPATH += "/usr/local/opt/openssl/include"
QMAKE_LIBDIR += "/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib"
QMAKE_LIBDIR += "/usr/local/opt/sqlcipher/lib"
QMAKE_LIBDIR += "/usr/local/opt/miniupnpc/lib"

alternative via Terminal

$ qmake 
INCLUDEPATH+="/usr/local/opt/openssl/include" \
QMAKE_LIBDIR+="/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib" \
QMAKE_LIBDIR+="/usr/local/opt/sqlcipher/lib" \
QMAKE_LIBDIR+="/usr/local/opt/miniupnpc/lib" \

Compile RetroShare

You can now compile RetroShare into Qt Creator or with Terminal

   $ cd /path/to/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 the compiled application at ./retroshare/retroshare-gui/src/retroshare.app

Issues

If you have issues with openssl (Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64) try to add to ~/.profile file this or via Terminal

   export PATH="/usr/local/opt/openssl/bin:$PATH"
   export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib"
   export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/openssl/include"
   export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib/pkgconfig"

For Qt Creator -> QtCreator Projects -> Build -> Build Settings -> Build Steps -> Add Additional arguments:

   LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib"
   CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/openssl/include"
