-Instructions: MacPorts
-----------------------
-
-### 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

Once dependencies are compiled, see release-process.md for how the Bitcoin-Qt.app
bundle is packaged and signed to create the .dmg disk image that is distributed.
