$NetBSD: README.macOS,v 1.8 2022/04/09 17:23:12 schmonz Exp $
Please read the general README file as well.
Binary packages are available for macOS arm64 and x86_64, provided by
Joyent. More info: <http://pkgsrc.joyent.com/install-on-osx/>
If these don't suffice for your needs, you'll want to build your own.
First, install either the full Xcode environment (if that's something
you want to have) or else just its Command Line Tools. For the latter:
$ xcode-select --install
Next, if you haven't already done so, fetch and extract pkgsrc:
$ curl -O https://cdn.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/current/pkgsrc.tar.gz
$ tar -zxf pkgsrc.tar.gz && rm pkgsrc.tar.gz
Now you're ready to bootstrap as described in README.
Once bootstrapped, install `devel/scmcvs` so you can update pkgsrc via
anonymous CVS. Alternatively, swap out your CVS checkout for a clone
from this git mirror: <https://github.com/NetBSD/pkgsrc/>
For a local X11 display server, install `x11/modular-xorg-xquartz`.
For any particular package that doesn't build, macOS fixes are often in
MacPorts or Homebrew waiting to be borrowed.
Patches to support older systems will generally get merged, provided
they don't break newer systems and aren't too much trouble to maintain.
Tigerbrew is a good place to look for such fixes.
Occasionally, after updating to a freshly released macOS version, you'll
see "No suitable Xcode SDK or Command Line Tools installed." This
usually means a pkgsrc developer needs to add another `OSX_SDK_MAP`
entry to `mk/platform/Darwin.mk`.
