<h3>OSX Install Guide</h3>
<strong>This guide is intended for people who wish to use an existing or new ProjectTox-Core installation separate to the bundled installation with toxgui, if you do not wish to use a separate installation you can skip to the section titled 'Final Steps'.</strong>
Installation on OSX, isn't quite straight forward, here is a quick guide on how to install;
The first thing you need to do is install ProjectTox-Core with a/v support. Refer to the INSTALL guide in the ProjectTox-Core github repo.
Next you need to download QtTools (http://qt-project.org/downloads), at the time of writing this is at version 5.3.0.
Make sure you deselect all the unnecessary components from the 5.3 checkbox (iOS/Android libs) otherwise you will end up with a very large download.
Once that is installed you will most likely need to set the path for qmake. To do this, open up terminal and paste in the following;
```bash
export PATH=/location/to/qmake/binary:$PATH
```
For myself, the qmake binary was located in /Users/mouseym/Qt/5.3/clang_64/bin/.
Once this is installed, do the following;
```bash
git clone https://github.com/tux3/toxgui
cd toxgui
qmake
```
Do not run make, as we need further modifications to toxgui.
Open up the Makefile in a text editor (TextEdit/TextWrangler, etc).
You will need to modify the Makefile to point to your toxcore libs/includes.
The first change you will need to make is to point the Makefile towards the tox libs installed on your system. (Generally this is /usr/local/libs/).
Look for the line in the Makefile which references /toxgui/lib/libs/ and replace with the above).
The second change to Makefile is to add the location of the includes (On my system these were placed in /usr/local/include/tox/).
To do this, search for the INCLUDES line and add the following to the end;
```bash
-I/usr/local/include/tox/
```
Save the Makefile.
<h4>Final Steps</h4>
Open up TextEdit/TextWrangler/etc and open up the widget/filetransfertwidget.cpp file and add the following include;
```bash
#include <math.h>
```
This will stop toxgui failing to make under OSX.
The final step is to run
```bash
make
```
in the toxgui directory, or if you are using the bundled tox core installation, you can use
```bash
./bootstrap.sh
```
Assuming all went well you should now have a toxgui.app file within the directory. Double click and it should open!
