+### Building dogecoin-qt 1.14 on modern macs. ###

+

+Note that this requires changes made by michilumin on the 1.14-dev branch as well as some changes to BDB.

+

+Tested on OSX 10.11 El Capitan and 10.13 High Sierra.

+

+**Paper wallet printing support seems to work fine through this method as well.**

+

+### Clone dogecoin locally, or check it out, etc. ###

+

+For this purpose, just indicating the 1.14-branding branch in my repo.

+

+	$git clone -b 1.14-branding --single-branch https://github.com/michilumin/dogecoin.git

+

+### Set up OSX basic build dependencies. ##

+

+Install xcode-select commandline utils.

+

+    $xcode-select --install

+

+**note:** If you have Xcode installed, simply zip it up and move it for this process, as your current Xcode install will likely conflict. Unzip it back later.

+

+Make sure frameworks dir is properly owned...

+

+    $sudo mkdir /usr/local/Frameworks

+    $sudo chown $(whoami):admin /usr/local/Frameworks

+

+Install Brew.

+

+    $/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

+

+Install dependencies via Brew.

+

+    $brew install autoconf automake libtool miniupnpc openssl pkg-config protobuf qt5 zeromq qrencode librsvg boost

+

+Install Boost lib via Brew from source, and link it to be sure:

+

+**note** Boost version may have changed by the time you're reading this, from 167.

+

+    $brew install boost --build-from-source --HEAD

+    $brew link boost167

+

+### Get, Patch And Compile BDB 5.1 ###

+
