-### Install dependencies
-
-    sudo port install boost db48@+no_java openssl miniupnpc autoconf pkgconfig automake libtool
-
-Optional: install Qt4
-
-    sudo port install qt4-mac qrencode protobuf-cpp

-### Building `bitcoind`
-
-1. Clone the github tree to get the source code and go into the directory.
-
-        git clone git@github.com:bitcoin/bitcoin.git bitcoin
-        cd bitcoin
-
-2.  Build bitcoind (and Bitcoin-Qt, if configured):
-
-        ./autogen.sh
-        ./configure
-        make
-
-3.  It is a good idea to build and run the unit tests, too:
-
-        make check
