Build and Run MaidSafe-DHT on Mac OS X

1. Install command line tools for Xcode
Xcode -> Preferences -> Downloads -> Components, Click “Install” behind “Command Line Tools”.

2. Install MacPorts
Download dmg from http://www.macports.org/install.php, and install.

3. Install Boost with MacPorts
sudo port install boost

4. Install gcc-4.6 with MacPorts
sudo port install gcc46

5. Making and Installing MaidSafe-Common
See: https://github.com/maidsafe/MaidSafe-Common/wiki/Developer-Build-Instructions
VERY important: to make cmake to use gcc 4.6:
$ export CC=/opt/local/bin/gcc-mp-4.6
$ export CXX=/opt/local/bin/g++-mp-4.6
Then:
$ cd MaidSafe-Common/maidsafe_common_lib/build/OSX/Release
$ cmake ../../..
$ cmake --build . --target install

6. Making and Installing MaidSafe-Transport
See: https://github.com/maidsafe/MaidSafe-Transport/wiki/Developer-Build-Instructions
$ cd MaidSafe-Transport/build/OSX/Release
$ cmake ../../..
$ cmake --build . --target install

7. Making and Installing MaidSafe-DHT
See:
$ cd MaidSafe-DHT/build/OSX/Release
$ cmake ../../..
$ cmake --build . --target install

8. Run it!
We need to run at least k (defaults to 4) nodes. The first node must be run with -f (--first_node) flag. The other nodes should be run with “-b bootstrap_contacts”.
Now we can use the available commands to store and retrieve values.
