##Build instructions for Xcode 7.2.1
###Prepare folder
Choose a folder for the future build, for example /Users/user/TBuild There you will have two folders, Libraries for third-party libs and tdesktop (or tdesktop-master) for the app.
IMPORTANT You are required to build and install Qt 5.6.0 from the Xcode 7 instructions first.
###Clone source code
By git – in Terminal go to /Users/user/TBuild and run
git clone https://github.com/telegramdesktop/tdesktop.git
or download in ZIP and extract to /Users/user/TBuild rename tdesktop-master to tdesktop to have /Users/user/TBuild/tdesktop/Telegram/Telegram.xcodeproj project, then go to /Users/user/TBuild/tdesktop and run
git checkout mac32
###Prepare libraries
In your build Terminal run
MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.6
to set minimal supported OS version to 10.6 for future console builds.

####Qt 5.3.2, slightly patched #####Get the source code
In Terminal go to /Users/user/TBuild/Libraries and run:
git clone git://code.qt.io/qt/qt5.git QtStatic
cd QtStatic
git checkout 5.3
perl init-repository --module-subset=qtbase,qtimageformats
git checkout v5.3.2
cd qtimageformats && git checkout v5.3.2 && cd ..
cd qtbase && git checkout v5.3.2 && cd ..
#####Apply the patch
From /Users/user/TBuild/Libraries/QtStatic/qtbase, run:
git apply ../../../tdesktop/Telegram/Patches/qtbase_5_3_2.diff
From /Users/user/TBuild/Libraries/QtStatic/qtimageformats, run:
git apply ../../../tdesktop/Telegram/Patches/qtimageformats_5_3_2.diff
#####Building library
Go to /Users/user/TBuild/Libraries/QtStatic and run:
./configure -debug-and-release -force-debug-info -opensource -confirm-license -static -opengl desktop -nomake examples -nomake tests -platform macx-g++
make -j4
sudo make -j4 install
building (make command) will take really long time.
###Building Telegram Desktop
- Launch Xcode, all projects will be taken from /Users/user/TBuild/tdesktop/Telegram
- Open MetaEmoji.xcodeproj and build for Debug (Release optionally)
- Open MetaLang.xcodeproj and build for Debug (Release optionally)
- Open Telegram.xcodeproj and build for Debug
- Build Updater target as well, it is required for Telegram relaunch
- Release Telegram build will require removing CUSTOM_API_ID definition in Telegram target settings (Apple LLVM 6.1 - Custom Compiler Flags > Other C / C++ Flags > Release)
