Build PowerShell on OS X
========================
This guide supplements the [Linux instructions](./linux.md), as
building on OS X is almost identical.
.NET Core (and by transitivity, us) only supports OS X 10.11, per
CoreFX issue #[7731][].
[7731]: https://github.com/dotnet/corefx/issues/7731
Environment
===========
You will want [Homebrew](http://brew.sh/), the missing package manager for OS X.
Once installed, follow the same instructions to download and
install a self-hosted copy of PowerShell on your OS X machine,
and use`Start-PSBootstrap` to install the dependencies.
The `Start-PSBootstrap` function does the following:
- Uses `brew` to install CMake, OpenSSL, and GNU WGet
- Links OpenSSL
- Uninstalls any prior versions of .NET CLI
- Downloads and installs the latest .NET CLI 1.0.0-preview2 SDK to `~/.dotnet`
If you want to use `dotnet` outside of `Start-PSBuild`,
add `~/.dotnet` to your `PATH` environment variable.
error: Too many open files
--------------------------
Due to a [bug][809] in NuGet, the `dotnet restore` command will fail without the limit increased.
Run `ulimit -n 2048` to fix this in your session;
add it your shell's profile to fix it permanently.
We cannot do this for you in in the build module due to #[847][].

error: dotnet restore
-------------------------
If you run `dotnet restore` and get error like
```
PS /Users/vors/dev/PowerShell> dotnet restore

```
Try the following
* Make sure you have latest opensll and re-link it
```
brew update
brew install openssl
brew link --force openssl
```
Build using our module
======================
Instead of installing the Ubuntu package of PowerShell,
download the `pkg` from our GitHub releases page using your browser, complete the wizard,
start a `powershell` session, and use `Start-PSBuild` from the module.
The output directory will be slightly different because your runtime identifier is different.
PowerShell will be at `./src/powershell-unix/bin/Linux/netcoreapp1.0/osx.10.11-x64/powershell`,
or `osx.10.10` depending on your operating system version.
Note that configration is still `Linux` because it would be silly to make yet another separate configuration when it's used soley to work-around a CLI issue.
