You need to download Xcode and the command line development tools(You can also run 'xcode-select -install' in a terminal). If you have trouble compiling from the command-line.

If given a prompt, authenticate amework.Hint: Command+shift+g will bring up a finder for you to jump quickly jump to.

Copy the ameworks file to the path /Library/Frameworks.The easiest way to get SDL is to visit the SDL website at (Note we are downloading version 2.0). (From the terminal you can try: 'system_profiler SPDisplaysDataType').You should then see the graphics cards you have available.Click on the Apple Icon in the top left corner of your mac.Some laptops even have two graphics cards in them! Try these steps to find out: Today most laptops have a fairly powerful graphics card on them. The trick here, is for Mac's we will have to explicitly state in our code that we want to use OpenGL 3.3.But if I look at the previous Apple link, my 2011 MacBook Air with an Intel HD Graphics 3000 should support OpenGL 3.3. The observation here is on my Mac I only have version 2.1 running.Run on a terminal: glxinfo | grep 'version'.Let's also figure out our OpenGL version from the terminal however (something a bit more principled).Any Mac within the last decade will support the functions we call (How fast is to be determined!)

You should notice OpenGL 3.3 is supported across almost every system since 2007.If that still does not work, then you can just trust the Apple Support link above.If glxinfo is missing, you can install:.The quickest way is to check: Apple Support.The first thing we want to do on our Mac systems, is check which version of OpenGL we have. You may also download XCode from the Appstore.From a terminal run the command: 'xcode-select -install'.This is Apple's primary environment for creating C++ programs. The first action we want to perform is installing XCode.
