I ❤️ this project. As a longtime RaspBMC user I'm very interested in this new development. I built the OSX installer yesterday and found that I needed to install qmake ( brew install qt). I also had a difficult time finding out how to get the build going at all. Maybe the documentation is kept somewhere else?

Anyway I would like to suggest to add a short description about how all this stuff ties together and how-to make the OS Installer but most of all what pre-requisites are required to be able to succesfully build something on a host system. Perhaps point to the documentation as now it is not obvious where to find it. Obviously I was able to deduce most from reading the code. But I do not read all languages fluently and some pointers would really help. Thanks again for such a great project. Then, please take no offense - if this went over your head, why do you want to build the installer anyway?

The Installer is written with the help of Qt. There's the Qt-Creator, an IDE for Qt-based projects. In the codebase, you'll find a.pro file (somewhere below installer, make sure it's the file for the host-installer). That is the project file used by Qt creator. We are using Qt 4.8 for reasons so you need to have the 4.8 libs at hand, as Qt creator ships with 5.x afaik.

If this is over your head, I might get hard to help you here. Feel free to drop by at #osmc-dev in the freenode IRC network. It might take a while until you get an answer but as long we have no step-by-step instruction to setup the environment we have a stalemate. : No offense taken.

Why do you want to build the installer anyway? I thought (in the absence of documentation) that would be the place to start: Build the installer, then use the installer to (I assume, haven't tried this yet) build an SD-card image and burn it to the card, then insert the card into the Pi and see where things go from there. That's how stuff works on. So I kind of assumed.

I happened to have a Mac lying around, so I went with the OSX installer. I never before heard of Qt-Creator. Not part of XCode I guess. Well, you learn something every day.
