Building the Native SP from Source on macOS

...

The 3.x native SP has been built successfully using the following combinations:

• OS X 10.4 with gcc4 (PPC, 32-bit)

• OS X 10.5 with gcc4 (PPC, 32-bit)

• OS X 10.5 with gcc4 (Intel, 32-bit)

• OS X 10.6 with gcc4 (Intel, 64-bit) - see below

Set Up the Build Environment

• Set DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH to the eventual lib path into which you'll be installing the packages you're building (/opt/shibboleth-sp/lib)

• Set MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET to your OS X version (e.g. 10.4 or 10.5)

• See DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH note below for additional setup option before proceeding.

Building Shibboleth

As per this topic Shibboleth requires multiple dependencies to be available or built.

• The Boost headers.  But you don't need to actually build or install the full Boost library set.

• cxxtest (optional, for unit test support)

• log4shib (or log4cpp, deprecated)

• zlib

• OpenSSL

• libcurl

• Xerces-C

  • Prior to building Xerces-C for macOx you will also need ICU

• XML-Security-C

• XMLTooling-C

• OpenSAML-C

If you have pkg-config installed, you may need to append --with-openssl=/usr to the XMLTooling-C and OpenSAML-C configure commands (or remove pkg-config from your path).

...

This is the option I prefer because everything will just work all the time when you are done compiling. When setting up your build environment:

• Set LDFLAGS="-Wl,-rpath,(your_shib-sp_install_dir)/lib"

• Add --enable-rpath as an option to the ICU configure line.

Option 2: Set DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH for launchctl
