I use OpenCV library in my Mac creating programs and compiling it with Terminal and makefiles.
It's so easy install opencv using macports and create a generic makefile to build your project.
I want to use this library with Xcode to create a app for my mac and think create a OpenCV framework is the best way.
I read this entry to compile it with Xcode but i don't know how to continue to create a framework. link
Thanks in advance
if you just want to use (and don't insist on compiling it yourself...) someone already made a framework out of opencv:

Hope this helps!

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
I'm writing an application in which I want to use free image to load files. I am on MacOSX 10.8.2 and I am using the mac ports version of free image. I had it working, but when I tried putting it on another computer without the port, it wouldn't run because it didn't have the files. The macports version comes with a dylib, can I use that to run it without downloading the port? If I can how would I compile it with the project because I have tried linking it as a Binary Library, but I can't include the files. Any help would be appreciated, as I have bee at this for a few hours now.
Thanks
You can actually build the FreeImage library as a static library. Unfortunately, the downloadable source from the http://freeimage.sourceforge.net/download.html website uses makefiles that are expecting to use the older SDKs for Xcode3.
I actually updated the Makefile.osx to build with Xcode4 using the 10.7 SDK and posted the change to https://gist.github.com/AhiyaHiya/5105571
You should be able to run this make from Terminal.app and create your .dylib and .a files for your needs.
I'm using Xcode 3.2.1 on OSX 10.6.8, and I want to study how Avogadro works by debugging its source code. There is a CMake guide here:
https://web.archive.org/web/20160816105549/http://avogadro.cc/wiki/Compiling_on_Linux_and_Mac_OS_X
that explains how to do it (and the sources are provided), but I am not very familiar with debugging. How do I organize the source files into a new Xcode project and step through a compiled version?
Here is the git clone command:
git clone --recursive git://github.com/cryos/avogadro-squared.git
I spot a folder called /Users/Eric/Desktop/avogadro-squared/avogadro/avogadro/src but I'm unsure as to how to proceed with setting flags etc., since the project is originally compiled in Cmake.
I'm not familiar with Avogadro but I just downloaded the source. There are not any xcode projects that I could find. So if you want to use Xcode to debug it you will need to create the necessary projects. How do you do that? Well, Avogadro seems to be built up with several other sub modules, openqube, openbabel, and eigen in particular. So you will need to create xcode projects for them also (if they don't have them already.)
This is not a small job, you'll need to read the makefiles and see what libraries they need etc...
But, and this is the good news, once it is done you will have learn a lot about how Avogadro is built which will help you learn how Avogadro works, which was your goal.
And when you are done, you can then offer up your changes to the community, after all, that is what open source is all about, right?
Avogadro uses CMake, and CMake is a build system generator (part of the reason we chose it). So you can use its generator mechanism to request an Xcode build system. There is a general answer on StackOverflow to generate an Xcode project using CMake. You are looking at the superbuild which gathers/builds all dependencies - you really want to go into the avogadro subfolder and open that in Xcode.
I have a project and I want to use XCode as my compiler instead of having to do everything manually in Terminal with GCC and ld. How can I achieve this? Are there any good tutorials?
This is apple's introduction to building with Xcode. Hopefully you'll find it useful.

I have a large exiting C++ project involving:
4 applications
50+ libraries
20+ third party libraries
The project uses QMake (part of Trolltech's Qt) to build the production version on Linux, but I've been playing around at building it on MacOS.
I can build in on MacOS using QMake just fine but I'm having trouble producing the final .app. It needs collecting all the third party frameworks and dynamic libraries, all the project's dynamic libraries and making sure the application finds them.
I've read online about using install_name_tool but was wondering if there's a process to automate it.
(Maybe the answer is to use XCode, see related question, but it would have issues with building uic and moc)
Thanks
I'm sure this could be of some great help for you :
deployqt
Hope this helps !
We have the same problem at Last.fm, I looked at DeployQt and it's not much use if you have third party libraries. In the end I wrote a perl script that generates a Makefile, which you can use to generate a .app and/or .dmg.
I uploaded it here: http://www.methylblue.com/detritus/QMake.dmg/
To use it add this to your application's pro file:
macx*:!macx-xcode:release {
system( QT=\'$$QT\' QMAKE_LIBDIR_QT=\'$$QMAKE_LIBDIR_QT\' $$ROOT_DIR/common/dist/mac/Makefile.dmg.pl $$DESTDIR $$VERSION $$LIBS > Makefile.dmg )
QMAKE_EXTRA_INCLUDES += Makefile.dmg
}
I'm sure it's not all yet portable, but it would be good for someone else to use and see if that is so.
This is basically the first official release of this code, so please send me bug reports, and also, improvements. Thanks.
I side-stepped this problem completely by building my Qt app statically on OS X. That might not be practical for you though.
