====== Building the Orx library on a Mac with Codelite ======

You can use Codelite on a Mac in order to build the Orx library. I will assume that you have covered the step at [[en:tutorials:orx:mac:cloning_and_building_orx_on_mac|Cloning and building the Orx library on the Mac]] but have come here because you would rather use Codelite than gmake.


===== Downloading Codelite for Mac =====

If you don't have Codelite yet, you can download from here: https://downloads.codelite.org

Note that Codelite will only work on newer versions of Mac OS X. Finding older versions is not easy. If you find a good repository for old Codelite versions on Mac, please let me know.
</WRAP>

Use Codelite to open the workspace at ''orx/code/build/mac/codelite'':

Build the default config of ''Debug'' by selecting the ''Build Workspace'' menu from the ''Build'' menu.

Confirm the output of the build to ensure everything built correctly:

<WRAP center round info 90%>
Ignore the following warning: ''ld: warning: directory not found for option '-L/usr/lib64' ''

The build will have succeeded.

Now to change from the ''Debug_x64'' build to the ''Profile_x64'' build on the ''Workspace'' tab:

Then build again:

Finally, switch to the ''Release_x64'' configuration and build again.
