-Unfortunately,​ since ManaPlus has certain problems in compiling through the usual CMake, I wasn't able to setup a nice workflow for the translations (see [[#Problems and Improving the Workflow]]). So, you will have to download a nightly build (the linux one) and overwrite the Xcode/​locale folder with the one from the nightly build. This should ensure you have the latest translations.+Unfortunately,​ since ManaPlus has certain problems in compiling through the usual CMake, I wasn't able to setup a nice workflow for the translations (see [[#Problems and Improving the Workflow]]).

 Now that everything is up to date, you can try to hit Run to test out the build. If it fails, it is probably because you didn't add everything needed, or that a new library has been added (see [[#Working with libraries]]). Now that everything is up to date, you can try to hit Run to test out the build.

-I had to add all the necessary dependencies to the project, because they where all pointing to /​opt/​local/​lib,​ which means they were installed through macports, and a user  wont have these libraries available. As a rule of thumb, if the lib is in /usr/lib, then it should be fine, but if it is pointing too /​opt/​local/​lib you will have to include its dependencies. You can do it all manually, or use shell scripts provided in the libs folder (libs-change.sh and libs-id.sh). I found these on the internet but can't recover the source...+I had to add all the necessary dependencies to the project, because they where all pointing to /​opt/​local/​lib,​ which means they were installed through macports, and a user  wont have these libraries available.

 Whew! What a ride. Now you can check out the length of my Static Library section... To see how all of this isn't require when you use a .a library. Whew! What a ride. Now you can check out the length of my Static Library section... To see how all of this isn't require when you use a .a library.

-So you are sane and have decided to use Static Libraries. I learned about these after going through the pain of linking all my macports dynamic libraries [sigh]. So lets get started. You have a NewLibrary.a inside your /​opt/​local/​lib directory. Copy that file to the Xcode/lib folder inside the manaplus directory. Take the file and drag it into your Xcode project in the Frameworks section. It should automatically be added to the Summary > Linked Libraries section and also the Build Phases > Link Binary With Libraries area. You need to **remove it** from the Build Phases > Link Binary With Libraries section. This is because Xcode is brocken, and if you leave it there, Xcode will point to a .dylib if it can find one (for more information on this, you can google '​perian-and-xcode-dylib-f.e.t.i.s.h'​ and remove the dots, the wiki doesn'​t like that word).+So you are sane and have decided to use Static Libraries.
