Back to early 90's - XCOM aka UFO returns (via an open-source remake). Happily, nearly trivial to build on OSX.


Grab the source. Github has a nice OSX client, and the webpages have a wee button to spawn the OSX client and make the git clone process painless.


Get a packaging system for install Unix packages on OSX - the new hotness is Homebrew, in addition to fink or macports. Homebrew has the relevant dependencies, so it works (tm).


brew install yaml-cpp
brew install sdl
brew install sdl_gfx
brew install sdl_mixer


set the pkgconfig tools environment variable to find the installed stuff.


export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig


In the src directory of OpenXcom


make


And tis done. Copy the games data files to the relevant location, and all is well.
