i 've been building various wallets using .pro files and qtcreator.
and have used the autogen.sh process for compiling coinds.

but how do i go about building the newer clients on OSX ?

looking at latest bitcoin source i have no idea how to start :P
i assume it's possible not using gitian :)

latest rc build on osx:
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/v0.11.2rc1/doc/build-osx.md


latest rc gitian building:
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/v0.11.2rc1/doc/gitian-building.md

great :)
latest btc source is smooth sailling to compile.
and brew is pretty smooth too (previously used macports)

now i'm building an older autogen using btc 0.9.3 codebase

i had a bit of messing around with compiling qt4.8.6 to a custom directory, have compiled ok but now having troubles with the deploy step.

make deploy
Error: Could not import appscript which is required for fancy disk images.
Please install it e.g. with "sudo easy_install appscript"

now appscript seems dead :P
i seem to recall getting around this a while ago with osascript but i cannot recall how

going to have another attempt at working around requirement for appscript tomorrow.
if anyone can suggest a way to deploy the .app would be much appreciated :)

Out of all the systems that ive compiled for osx has been the biggest pain in the ass. Wish i could cross compile or rent a rig or something lol.
