Document Update Instructions have been revised

[Chris Good]

Hi David,

 

I’ve added a section http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Documentation_Update_Instructions#Installing_make.

I assume you do need the full Xcode to build GnuCash on Mac OS X, but only need the command-line tools to build the documentation.

 

Regards,

Chris, 

 

No. I haven't tried John's suggestion. My current mac is five years old, and I had already downloaded the full xcode upgrade when John made the suggestion. I'll note that the wiki still instructs mac users to install the full xcode suite. If it's no longer true, then the wiki needs correction.

 

David

Indeed. But you don't need all of it, just the command-line tools.

I'm not sure you can get one without first getting the other. At least, I haven't been able to. 

Assuming that you don't already have Xcode installed, try running 

  clang foo.cpp

in Terminal. That should pop up a dialog box offering to install them for you.

Hi David,

 

Did you manage to install the Xcode command line tools without having to install the full Xcode or did you have to use John’s ‘clang foo.cpp’ method?

I think we should document this either way.

 Regards, Chris Good
