I'm really interested in an Arduino IDE project from GitHub, but since I'm a new programmer i don't have figured out how to compile those source files on my Mac. There is already ported to Mac as it shows on the version 0.6.0.0 changelog but i just does not know how to do it. Can someone provide instructions for me?

So as I'm sure you've noticed, that project is a vcxproj-- i.e visual studio. Compiling it on Mac would require some finagling. I don't have experience myself, but I found this in my queries for you

How to support both vcxproj to cmake on a project?

You're going to want to read up on a lot of resources to try to get a better understanding and maybe form a better google query. Alternatively the easiest route would just to get your hands on a windows machine to build this

Good luck!

You have two options: 1) There's already a cmake project included in the project file. It's used for compiling it at Linux

2) There's also a Qt .pro file, also included in the project files, that you can load at Qt Creator

  • Since Linux and Mac follow the same base OS, Can I use the CMake project on the Mac(after adding the required software like QT Serial)? – TheGMX Jan 18 '15 at 02:28
  • Probably yes, because the same CMake file can be used on Windows. But I have no access to an Apple computer to assure that. – Alex Jan 19 '15 at 17:24
  • Ok, Gonna try it out. Thank you! – TheGMX Jan 20 '15 at 16:23
