    44This document applies to BOINC version 6.11.9 and later.  It has instructions for building the BOINC Client and Manager for Macintosh OS X. For information on building science project applications to run under BOINC on Macintosh OSX, see BuildMacApp.

    2626You need to take certain steps to ensure that you use only APIs that are available in all the OS versions BOINC supports for each architecture. The best way to accomplish this is to use a single development system running OS 10.6.x and cross-compile for the various platforms. The remainder of this document describes that process.
    2727
    28 '''The above requirements apply not only BOINC itself, but also the !WxWidgets, JPEG, c-ares and cURL libraries, as well as all project applications.''' Only theJPEG library must be built for  the x86_64 architecture, since it is used by the libboinc_graphics_api library.

    3939Apple provides the tools necessary to cross-compile for all three BOINC Mac platform on any Mac running OS 10.6.x.
    4040
    41 You get these tools, including the GCC compilers and system library header files, by installing the XCode Tools package. Building BOINC and the library packages on which it depends requires XCode 3.2 or later running under OS 10.6.x or later. If you have the OS 10.6 installation DVD for your system, you can install XCode Tools at the time you install the OS, or you can install it later by opening the file Optional Installs/XCode Tools/XCodeTools.mpkg.
