Building and installing HHVM on OSX 10.9

Install with Homebrew

Unfortunately the fully automated Homebrew package is broken at this point. Try the "install by hand" below.

Install by hand

Install homebrew

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/mxcl/homebrew/go/install)"

Tap additional repositories

brew tap homebrew/versions

Install dependencies

brew install freetype gettext cmake git libtool mcrypt oniguruma re2c     \
             autoconf libelf readline automake mysql-connector-c pcre     \
             gd icu4c libmemcached pkg-config tbb imagemagick binutils    \ 
             curl imap-uw libxslt libevent sqlite homebrew/versions/gcc48
brew install --build-from-source --cc=gcc-4.8 glog boost

Install some packages that are not (yet) part of homebrew:

brew install https://gist.github.com/slbmeh/9059260/raw/1cbf0f6f5639b4a066395bedb702cdd6bd895d15/libdwarf.rb \
             https://gist.github.com/danslo/6034879/raw/00be8488d2dea232b750ab8207a788032d9135b6/jemallocfb.rb

Get HHVM

git clone --recursive git://github.com/facebook/hhvm.git

Trouble shooting

If you see errors like this

Linking CXX executable hhvm
Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
  "boost::match_results<__gnu_cxx::__normal_iterator<char const*, std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> > >, std::allocator<boost::sub_match<__gnu_cxx::__normal_iterator<char const*, std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> > > > > >::maybe_assign(boost::match_results<__gnu_cxx::__normal_iterator<char const*, std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> > >, std::allocator<boost::sub_match<__gnu_cxx::__normal_iterator<char const*, std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> > > > > > const&)", referenced from:

during the make -j4 try uninstalling and reinstalling Boost.

Unistall Boost

brew remove boost

Reinstall Boost

brew install --build-from-source --cc=gcc-4.8 boost

Then re-run the make

make -j4
