= Building Trac on OS X from Sources =

Here are some revised instructions on building trac 0.10.4 (including subversion 1.4.3 and some of the required dependencies) on Mac OS X.

Tested on Mac OS versions:
  * 10.4.8
  * 10.4.9

This does not build Python, Apache or SQL Lite as these are already pre-installed in the Mac OS and work just fine.

Copy the below code snippet as a shell script, and it should all run in one big hit. You'll need to sit and enter your admin password for the commands prefixed with '`sudo`'. Alternatively you could sudo the execution of the whole script. (I prefer to not have the root user doing downloads and compilations).

Special note: most of these components are the latest at the time of writing this page and work fine. Except for neon. Subversion has a problem with the latest version of neon, so stick with neon 0.25.5 until you know that Subversion will work with something newer.

Here it is:
