OS X Build Instructions and Notes
====================================
This guide will show you how to build twisterd for OS X.
Notes
-----
* Tested on OS X 10.9.1 on Intel processors only. PPC is not
supported because it is big-endian.
* All of the commands should be executed in a Terminal application. The
built-in one is located in `/Applications/Utilities`.
Preparation
-----------

You need to install Xcode with all the options checked so that the compiler
and everything is available in /usr not just /Developer. Xcode should be
available on your OS X installation media, but if not, you can get the
current version from https://developer.apple.com/xcode/. If you install
Xcode 4.3 or later, you'll need to install its command line tools. This can
be done in `Xcode > Preferences > Downloads > Components` and generally must
be re-done or updated every time Xcode is updated.
There's an assumption that you already have `git` installed, as well. If
not, it's the path of least resistance to install [Github for Mac](https://mac.github.com/)
(OS X 10.7+) or
[Git for OS X](https://code.google.com/p/git-osx-installer/). It is also
available via Homebrew or MacPorts.
You will also need to install [Homebrew](http://mxcl.github.io/homebrew/)
or [MacPorts](https://www.macports.org/) in order to install library

dependencies. It's largely a religious decision which to choose, but I tested only with
Homebrew.
The installation of the actual dependencies is covered in the Instructions
sections below.
Instructions: HomeBrew
----------------------
#### Install dependencies using Homebrew
brew install boost miniupnpc openssl berkeley-db4 autoconf automake libtool
### Building `twisterd`
1. Clone the github tree to get the source code and go into the directory.
git clone https://github.com/miguelfreitas/twister-core.git
cd twister-core
2. Build twister using autotool
./autotool.sh
./configure --enable-logging --with-openssl=/usr/local/opt/openssl --with-libdb=/usr/local/opt/berkeley-db4
make
(If you have multi core CPU, use "make -j N" where N = number of your cores)
3. If things go south, before trying again, make sure you clean it up:
make clean

If all went well, you should now have a twisterd executable in the twister-core directory.
See the Running instructions below.
Instructions: MacPorts (UNTESTED!!)
---------------------------------
### Install dependencies
Installing the dependencies using MacPorts is very straightforward.
sudo port install boost db48@+no_java openssl miniupnpc libtool
Once installed dependencies, do:
./autotool.sh
./configure --enable-logging
make
If things go south, before trying again, make sure you clean it up:
make clean

Running
-------
It's now available at `./twisterd`, provided that you are still in the `twister-core`
directory. We have to first create the RPC configuration file, though.
Run `./twisterd` to get the filename where it should be put, or just try these
commands:
mkdir -p "/Users/${USER}/.twister"
echo -e "rpcuser=user\nrpcpassword=pwd\nrpcallowip=127.0.0.1" > "/Users/${USER}/.twister/twister.conf"
chmod 600 "/Users/${USER}/.twister/twister.conf"
When next you run it, it will start downloading the blockchain, but it won't

output anything while it's doing this. This process may take several hours. If you see a lonely
`connect: Operation timed out`, don't freak out, it seems to work fine.
Other commands:
tail -f ~/.twister/debug.log
./twisterd --help # for a list of command-line options.
./twisterd -daemon # to start it as a daemon.
./twisterd help # When the daemon is running, to get a list of RPC commands
In order to get the HTML interface, you'll have to download it and link it in .twister:

git clone https://github.com/miguelfreitas/twister-html.git /Users/${USER}/Library/Application\ Support/twister/html
Once you do that, it will be available at http://localhost:28332/home.html
Troubleshooting
-------

1) You get "DHT network down" in WEB interface on /network.html page
