PROGRESSING
xcode
Install from App Store. This very difficulty is that it takes too long to download, especially in China.
I swithed my local DNS to a Taiwan host (168.95.1.1), so it finished in serveral hours.
git
Download recent stable release of git for mac from git-scm.com
Install other tools related to git: * GitHub for Mac * GitStats: generate stats web pages for your project
Homebrew
Simple installation with one-line-command:
ruby <(curl -fsSkL raw.github.com/mxcl/homebrew/go)
Usage example:
brew search textmate
brew install ninja # need when building textmate
brew install wget
RVM
RVM is short for Ruby Version Manager, not Ruby Virtual Machine.
Install stable version with default ruby[-1.9.3]
curl -kL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --ruby
When every thing reports ok, run this command to see installed versions of ruby in a new term:
rvm list
Switch to system version
rvm use system
rvm use system --default
textmate
I choose build textmate from source. follow this document
First, install dependencies
brew install ragel boost multimarkdown hg ninja
Get and prepare source code
git clone git://github.com/textmate/textmate.git
cd textmate
git submodule update --init
