Hi!
I am trying to build blender on a MacBook Pro with OSX 10.6.
Every time I try to build Blender using CMake it gives me the error:
-----------------------------------------------------

How do I compile Blender successfully?

When fixing compile problems, the FIRST error is the important one. I am betting that is not it.

Just to make sure we're on the same page here are the steps I take to compile with cmake on osx,

cd Build/blender

svn update blender

svn update lib/...

mkdir 54321

cd 54321

cmake ../blender

ccmake .

make -j5

make install

open ./bin/blender.app



most of the nitty gritty is in the ccmake step where you pick build options.
I wonder what options you are picking here. We have mostly the same laptop so I should be able to help but first just wanted to get more details.

I think I got stuck in the "cmake ../blender" part. What version of XCode do you have?

xcode 4.2. 4.4 won't work.

Then what version do you have?
What else do you need?

By the way, thanks for your recent help because I am just a beginner and I am new to coding.
