Building MoonRay on macOS Sonoma

Base requirements

  • Apple M-series hardware
  • macOS Sonoma (macOS 14)
  • Install Xcode
  • Download and install CMake 3.26.5 https://github.com/Kitware/CMake/releases/download/v3.26.5/cmake-3.26.5-macos-universal.dmg sudo “/Applications/CMake.app/Contents/bin/cmake-gui” –install

Create the folders

Create a clean root folder for MoonRay. Attempting to build atop a previous installation may cause issues.

mkdir -p /Applications/MoonRay/{installs,build,build-deps,source}
mkdir -p /Applications/MoonRay/installs/{bin,lib,include}

Check out the OpenMoonRay source

cd /Applications/MoonRay/source
git clone --recurse-submodules <repository>

cd /Applications/MoonRay
ln -s source/openmoonray/building .
ln -s source/openmoonray .

Build the dependencies

cd /Applications/MoonRay/build-deps
cmake ../building/macOS
cmake --build .

Build MoonRay

cd /Applications/MoonRay/openmoonray
cmake --preset container-macOS
cmake --build --preset container-macOS

Run / test

source /Applications/MoonRay/installs/openmoonray/scripts/setup.sh
cd /Applications/MoonRay/openmoonray/testdata
moonray_gui -exec_mode xpu -info -in curves.rdla

rm -rf /Applications/MoonRay/{build,build-deps,openmoonray/release}
