These are the instructions for Apple Mac OS X.

INSTALLING RENAISSANCE FROM BINARY DISTRIBUTIONS
================================================

If you can find a binary package of the Renaissance framework which
works on your system, that is the quickest way to install Renaissance.
Make sure you read the license.

INSTALLING GNUSTEP-MAKE ON OSX
==============================

gnustep-make is GNUstep's makefile build system.  It is used by
default to build software on GNUstep systems; it can be used on Apple
Mac OS X as well.  The advantage of using gnustep-make is that the
frameworks and applications can be built in the same way, using the
same makefiles and build system, on both Apple Mac OS X and GNUstep.
Renaissance itself is built using gnustep-make.

If you need to compile Renaissance from sources, or if you plan to
compile Renaissance applications from sources built using
gnustep-make, then you need to install gnustep-make.

The procedure is as follows:

Download the gnustep-make source code.  Start up a unix terminal
window.  Go in gnustep-make's directory.  Type

 ./configure

then, type 

 make

and then type

 make install

gnustep-make will be installed into /usr/GNUstep.  Whenever you want
to remove your gnustep-make installation, just remove that directory.

To set up your gnustep-make environment ready for compilation, you
need to type 

 . /usr/GNUstep/System/Makefiles/GNUstep.sh

in your terminal window.  Now you are ready to use gnustep-make in
that terminal window to compile Renaissance (or any other framework or
application which uses gnustep-make).  Please note that every time you
open up a new terminal window, you need to type this command again.

(For advanced users: you can install gnustep-make only locally,
wherever you want, by configuring with
--prefix=/Users/nicola/Nicola/wherever; installing will install it
there; you then need to source GNUstep.sh from there; there is no
particular reason why gnustep-make needs to be installed into a system
location for it to work when building software).


COMPILING RENAISSANCE ON OSX
============================

If you want (or need) to compile Renaissance from sources, here are
the instructions.

First install gnustep-make on your system (instructions in the
previous paragraph).

Now download Renaissance, and go in the Source directory.
Type

 make

that will compile Renaissance.  Now type

 make install

in the same directory, and that will install Renaissance into
/Library/Frameworks/Renaissace.framework.

Optionally, you may want to compile and install the Renaissance (dev)
tools -- go in Tools/, then type 'make' there.

To make sure all works, go in Examples/Applications/, and compile (by
typing 'make') any application you want there, and test that it works.

To learn about Renaissance, look into Documentation/, and to the
example applications in Examples/Applications/.
