OS X tutorial for building steem.

I had a hard time finding a complete guide for OS X so I decided to write one.

Install XCode
Install Brew
Open your terminal and update Brew using brew doctor command.
Install steem dependecies using this command.
brew install boost cmake git openssl autoconf automake qt5
Create a symling for openssl using this command brew link --force openssl
Install berkeley-db and google-preftools

brew install google-perftools
brew install berkeley-db

Install libtool and python3 (thanks @anyx)

brew install libtool
brew install python3

Clone the repository git clone https://github.com/steemit/steem.git
Change directory to steem cd steem
Build steem

  git submodule update --init --recursive
  cmake .
  make

If you receive this message [100%] Built target chain_test it means that you are good to go !

Enjoy !

And what to do if the compile ends with:

-- Finished fc module configuration...
-- Using custom FindBoost.cmake
-- Boost version: 1.66.0
-- Found the following Boost libraries:
--   thread
--   date_time
--   system
--   filesystem
--   chrono
--   unit_test_framework
--   locale
-- Configuring ChainBase on OS X
No such file or directory
CMake Error at libraries/manifest/CMakeLists.txt:28 (message):
  Could not get plugin dependencies


-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
See also "/Users/krma1/Temp/steem/CMakeFiles/CMakeOutput.log".

Don't you just love those No such file or directory error message which don't print any indication in what file or directory is missing.
