Before you can run it, you need to create an application bundle for Mac OS.
-Create the directories in terminal using mkdir and copy the files into place.
-They are available at http://heliacal.net/~solar/bitcoin/mac-build/
-You need the Info.plist and the .ins file. The Contents/MacOS/bitcoin file is
-the output of the build.
-Your directory structure should look like this:
-
-Bitcoin.app
-Bitcoin.app/Contents
-Bitcoin.app/Contents/Info.plist
-Bitcoin.app/Contents/MacOS
-Bitcoin.app/Contents/MacOS/bitcoin
-Bitcoin.app/Contents/Resources
-Bitcoin.app/Contents/Resources/BitcoinAppIcon.icns
-
-To run it you can just click the Bitcoin.app in Finder, or just do open
-~/bitcoin/Bitcoin.app
+
+A bundle is provided in contrib/Bitcoin.app.
+
+Copy the bitcoin binary in to it like this:
+ cp -pR ~/bitcoin/bitcoin/contrib/Bitcoin.app ~/bitcoin/
+ cp ~/bitcoin/src/bitcoin ~/bitcoin/Bitcoin.app/Contents/MacOS/
+
+To run it you can just click the Bitcoin.app in Finder, or just do:
+open ~/bitcoin/Bitcoin.app
+
If you want to run it with arguments you can just run it without backgrounding
by specifying the full name in terminal:
+
~/bitcoin/Bitcoin.app/Contents/MacOS/bitcoin -addnode=192.75.207.66
+
+You can also run it with arguments in the background with output going to the
+normal places for apps (Console) like this:
+
+open ~/bitcoin/Bitcoin.app --args -connect=192.75.207.66
+
+It is advisable to relocate Bitcoin.app to /Applications or $HOME/Applications.
