Building the NSLogger Mac OS X viewer application

1. Clone the NSLogger GIT repository:

$ git clone git://github.com/fpillet/NSLogger.git

2. Install the BWToolkit Interface Builder plugin if you don’t have it

Make sure you install Brandon Walkin's BWToolkit IB Plugin on your Mac. It is recommended that you:

  • Download the pre-built BWToolkit (you won’t need the source code at this point)
  • Unzip the archive
  • Copy the BWToolkit.ibplugin file to your ~/Library/Application Support/Interface Builder 3.0/ folder
  • Double-click the BWToolkit.ibplugin file at this location. This will launch Interface Builder, and setup a reference to the plugin
  • Note that as explained in the BWToolkit release note, when you double-click the plugin, Interface Builder keeps a link to the plugin file (it does not copy it by itself) so you’d rather have the plugin in a location from which it won’t move, like the aforementioned IB 3.0 folder in your home’s Library folder.

3. Build and run.

Once you’re done, simply open the NSLogger/Desktop Viewer/NSLogger.xcodeproj project, then Build & Run it.
