TextMate 2 recently went open source on github and a coworker friend of mine was asking if I had compiled it yet. Here's the quick and easy on how to compile it.
Prerequisites
- Either homebrew or macports (I'll be using homebrew for this post)
- Xcode 4.4+ (make sure to open at least once and accept licence agreement)
Now install the needed apps with brew: [shell] brew install ragel boost multimarkdown hg ninja proctools [/shell]
- ninja — build system similar to
make - ragel — state machine compiler
- boost — portable C++ source libraries
- multimarkdown — marked-up plain text compiler
- mercurial — distributed SCM system
- pgrep and pkill - part of protocols
If the hg install gives you issues, get the latest command line tools from Apple. (At the time of this writing it is Command Line Tools (OS X Lion) for Xcode - August 2012) Compile
git clone https://github.com/textmate/textmate.git
cd textmate
git submodule update --init ./configure && ninja Install and Cleanup
cp -R ~/build/TextMate/Applications/TextMate/TextMate.app ~/Applications
rm -Rf ~/build/TextMate*
