This page gives you an overview about how to get Eiffel Studio running on your Mac.


Prerequisite - Installing Gtk

EiffelStudio relies on the Gtk library for graphical output, this page describes how to install it via MacPorts

Installation using MacPorts

MacPorts is a great tool that allows you to use many unix applications on the mac. We have created a package in the MacPorts repository that allows you to to install a fairly recent build with all dependencies in a convenient way: After installing MacPorts as described here simply type

sudo port install eiffelstudio

and you're ready to go (after a few hours compiling that is :)).

Note that you may need to precompile the libraries once with admin rights. To do that, you can type: "sudo estudio" on the command-line and then use the precompilation wizard (Tools->Precompilation wizard) or simply create a new project that will be precompiled.

Installing our builds

Alternatively you can also use one of the binary packages we provide here:

PPC
