Compiling AppleALC

1. Clone the project and cd into the directory

git clone https://github.com/acidanthera/AppleALC
cd AppleALC

If you don’t want to compile master (the latest code), then checkout the latest tag:

git checkout tags/$(git describe --tags $(git rev-list --tags --max-count=1))

2. Clone MacKernelSdk into the AppleALC directory

git clone https://github.com/acidanthera/MacKernelSDK

3. Run the Lilu bootstrap script

src=$(/usr/bin/curl -Lfs https://raw.githubusercontent.com/acidanthera/Lilu/master/Lilu/Scripts/bootstrap.sh) && eval "$src"

If you get this error:

xcode-select: error: tool ‘xcodebuild’ requires Xcode, but active developer directory ‘/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools’ is a command line tools instance

You can either point it to your existing Xcode install:

# change Xcode.app to Xcode-beta.app if running a beta version
sudo xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer

or ignore the warning and set the command line tools as the default:

xcode-select --install # install Command Line Tools if you haven't already
sudo xcode-select --switch /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools # enable command line tools

(thanks davis for the fix!)

4. Build with xcode

# make the amount of jobs your amount of cores/threads
xcodebuild -jobs 1 -configuration Debug
# if you'd rather build a release
xcodebuild -jobs 1 -configuration Release

5. You’re done!

You should have a build directory in which you will either have a Debug or Release folder with your build.

If you don’t, we’re doomed.
