Obiously, I would like to set up a Mac build machine as well. What do I need to install on a clean system via command line?
Install the build system via:
xcode-select —install
just in case this is not obvious: travis-ci already features OSX builders, and being a continuous integration system, these builders already come with a compiler. so - in the case of travis-ci - there is no need to manually install xcode.
If you need libraries, I’d recommend using Homebrew: http://brew.sh
i'd second that, but bear in mind that in this means that you will actually *build* the libraries (most of the times). in a CI (like travis-ci) this can lead to timeout problems: whenever a build is triggered, it starts from a pristine image. so all the dependencies need to be rebuilt, whenever a build of the main application(/library/external) is triggered. with a complex system (like Gem), i keep getting failed builds, because building the dependencies leaves little time to actually build Gem. however, you could download arbitrary (prebuilt) binaries, rather than build everything from scratch.
