Building Tomboy on Mac OS X
Prerequisites
- Mono for OS X
- Git for OS X
- Monodevelop for OSX or Xamarin Studio
Always get Mono from mono-project.com. Macports Mono is not supported.
Getting the Tomboy source code
Working with git
The Tomboy source is kept in Git. It's recommended that you use the latest code from the repository when making changes to the project, as this will allow the developers to more easily apply your changes and improvements to the project.
- Xcode 4 already comes with git, so you could just install that
- Else, Google around around for packages of git for Mac. There are plenty.
If using the command line version of git, you can get the source with:
git clone https://github.com/tomboy-notes/tomboy.osx.git
Building
Open the project in MonoDevelop or Xamarin Studio
- Choose build project
