How to compile coins on OSX?

[bankpower]

Hello, since I don't trust altcoin executables, I'm looking for someone able to teach me how to compile altcoins on OSX 10 environment. I am ready to pay if needed.

Are you looking for creating just tokens or some mineable coins?
The process can be a bit different according to the algo you use or platform you decide to host on.

I don't want to create coins, just compile the existing ones here on Bitcointalk directly from source

Still looking for some help

You mean the wallets? You don't compile the coins/tokens. Generally the developers share the source on GitHub and link to it on their main page/group.

Quite a wide spectrum, new and old, different issues.

Scroll to “Build on OS X”: https://github.com/slimcoin-project/Slimcoin/blob/master/README.md, gives you some idea of the process (i.e. using brew to provide the required libraries and utilities.)

Yes I understand, I followed instructions included on some sources with no luck, will try this one and let you know thanks. I have experience in compiling Windows and Linux wallets and hope to do the same on OSX.

Hi, I tried with no success. Also, my system updated to Sierra and I heard from other users that this version gives headache to people who want to compile coins.
It would be much appreciated (I can pay if necessary) if someone can guide me step by step in the process.

Maybe it does, maybe it doesn't - people can develop some rather idiosyncratic explanations of phenomena they don't fully understand.

Maybe it's the host OS, not the VM. VirtualBox will no longer run my OS X Sierria VM (I had to swap to Mint when Ubuntu bricked my laptop), “because", it says cryptically, “of VirtualBox”, so I'm afraid you're on your own. It will deign to run Mavericks tho.

You're about where I was when I started out on the OS X instructions. As I wrote - the task is to ensure that brew has all the required open source compiled-for-OX libraries installed, that the environment variables are correctly bound (e.g. BDB_INCLUDE_PATH, etc) and that the codebase itself has been adjusted as appropriate for compilation under whatever version of Clang the Mac OS X is running.
