# **MacOS is no longer supported due to Apple deprecating OpenGL and their current version not supporting the OpenGL extensions we require.**

### Dependencies

It's recommended that you use [Homebrew](https://brew.sh) to install dependencies.
You'll need to download and install the following to build yuzu:

  * [pkg-config](https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/pkg-config/) - `brew install pkgconfig`
  * [SDL2](https://www.libsdl.org/download-2.0.php) - `brew install sdl2`
  * [Qt5](https://www.qt.io/download/) - `brew install qt5`
      * If you have Qt4 installed, then you will need to remove it before building: `brew unlink qt4`
  * [CMake](https://cmake.org/) - `brew install cmake`
  * A recent version of Xcode and the Xcode command line tools

### Cloning yuzu with Git

**Master:**

  ```bash
  git clone --recursive https://github.com/yuzu-emu/yuzu
  cd yuzu
  git submodule update --init --recursive
  ```

**Mainline (no assert):**

  ```bash
  git clone --recursive https://github.com/yuzu-emu/yuzu-mainline
  cd yuzu-mainline
  git submodule update --init --recursive
  ```

### Using CMake

First of all, you have to tell CMake where Qt5 is installed (add this line to ~/.profile if you want to make this permanent):

  ```bash
  export Qt5_DIR=$(brew --prefix)/opt/qt5
  ```

Now you can generate makefiles for the build:

  ```bash
  export MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.14
  mkdir build
  cd build
  cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
  ```

### Building yuzu

```bash
make -j4
```

A `yuzu_qt.app` application bundle will now be present under `build/bin/`. Note that this is non-portable and only works on your machine.

For portability of the appbundle between machines please refer to [this script](https://github.com/yuzu-emu/yuzu/blob/master/.travis/macos/upload.sh).
