Recently I came in a problem with compiling on a mac, now that it is fixed. I realise how little tutorials there are on compiling on mac, so this is my spin on it!

Section 1: Universal Requirements and Instructions:
Xcode (found on Mac App Store and here, used to get make and other development commands)
DevKit Pro Download here
Python 2.7 Download here
1. Once you downloaded Xcode, go to the directory you downloaded the DevKit Pro file in Terminal.
2. Run in terminal "perl devkitARMupdate.pl"
3. Run command "defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles YES"
4. Hold alt/option key and Right Click Finder
5. Click Relaunch
6. open in TextEdit ".bash_profile" and enter in at the bottom after a return:

Code:

export DEVKITPRO="/Users/<username>/devkitPro"
export DEVKITARM="$DEVKITPRO/devkitARM"
export CTRULIB="$DEVKITPRO/libctru"

PATH="$DEVKITARM/bin:${PATH}"
export PATH

Replace <username> with your UserName

7. Install the Python .pkg file
8. Run cd Documents
9. Run command "git clone --recursive https://github.com/Kingcom/armips.git"
10. Run "cd armips/"
11. Run " cmake" and drag CMakeLists.txt to terminal so it displays something like this

Code:

cmake /Users/<UserName>/Documents/armips/CMakeLists.txt

12. Run "make"
13. Copy the newly generated file "armips" to /Users/<username>/devkitPro/devkitARM/bin

Section 2: Optional

From this point on you can choose your CFW from this list.

Run "git clone --recursive https://github.com/roxas75/rxTools.git"

1. Run "sudo port install ImageMagick" (This will take a while)
2. Run "make release" in rxTools

Run "git clone --recursive https://github.com/Reisyukaku/ReiNand.git"

1. Just run "make"!
2. You've finished!

Run "git clone --recursive https://github.com/mid-kid/CakesForeveryWan.git"

1. Just run "make"!
2. You've finished

Run "git clone --recursive https://github.com/AuroraWright/AuReiNand.git"

1. Just run "make"!
2. You've finished!

Section 3: Copying files over

1. Copy the corresponding files over to the SD card
