README_OS_X.txt is overly complex

[lloeki]

To build on OSX, one merely needs to

• install Xcode up to 4.6 (not 5, because it drops the 10.7 SDK)
• install the CTL (command line tools, e.g via preferences)
• run cmake as follows:

mkdir build && cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_OSX_SYSROOT=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.7.sdk/ -DCMAKE_OSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.7 -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE="Release" ..
make    # install if you wish

Just built again yesterday with command line tools but without Xcode, so
you could omit that part too for ultra simplicity. But didn't you need qt?

The existing readme is already simpler than that, or?

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..

Then to run the build process run:

make install

I just rewrote the OS X build instructions. They're about as simple as they can be, without taking shortcuts that will get people stuck..... Closing.
