## Quick build instructions for macOS using Xcode 9
## Quick build instructions for macOS using standard Makefiles

Command line instructions for default build of static library (.lib) in source:
On the Mac you must install Xcode from the Apple App Store. It contains C++-17 as well
as tools like make and git. Don't use Xcode directly for building
VSG, since the new code signing settings mess up all executables and
shared libraries.

Command line instructions for default build of static library (.a) in source:
Be sure to have the required software packages installed (see Linux). Get the
Vulkan SDK from https://vulkan.lunarg.com. You also need glslang. The easiest way
to get it is installation via the **homebrew** package manager (https://brew.sh).
After installation of **homebrew** call:

brew cmake
brew glslang
brew clang-format

git clone https://github.com/vsg-dev/VulkanSceneGraph.git
cd VulkanSceneGraph
cmake . -G "Xcode"

After running cmake open the generated VSG.xcodeproj file and build the All target. Once built you can run the install target. Please note that for release builds you currently need to use the Archive option in xcode. This will rebuild every time so you can just select the install target and run Archive which will also build the All target.
cmake .
cmake --build . -j 8
