Build PowerShell on OS X
This guide supplements the Linux instructions, as building on OS X is almost identical.
Please keep in mind that we do not yet routinely test on OS X, but some developers use PowerShell on 10.10 and 10.11.
Environment
You will want Homebrew, the missing package manager
for OS X. Once installed, use brew to install the following
dependencies.
brew install openssl cmake wget
Instead of using Linux ./bootstrap.sh to install .NET CLI's Ubuntu
packages, you will want to use the official PKG installer for OS X.
wget https://dotnetcli.blob.core.windows.net/dotnet/beta/Installers/Latest/dotnet-dev-osx-x64.latest.pkg
open ./dotnet-dev-osx-x64.latest.pkg
Then follow the wizard's instructions to complete installation.
Build using our module
Instead of installing the Ubuntu package of PowerShell, download the
pkg from our GitHub releases page using your browser, complete the
wizard, start a powershell session, and use Start-PSBuild from the
module.
The output directory will be slightly different because your runtime
identifier is different. PowerShell will be at
./src/Microsoft.PowerShell.CoreConsoleHost/bin/Linux/netstandardapp1.5/osx.10.11-x64/powershell,
or osx.10.10 depending on your operating system version. Note that
configration is still Linux because it would be silly to make yet
another separate configuration when it's used soley to work-around a
CLI issue.
