Mac OS X specifics:

-Under MacOSX, the SDK for OSX 11.3 is used by default. To use another version
-of the SDK (i.e. 10.15), you can export the environment variable VC_OSX_TARGET:
+Under MacOSX, the lastest installed SDK is used by default. To use a different version
+of the SDK when building using make, you can export the environment variable VC_OSX_SDK:
- $ export VC_OSX_TARGET=10.15
+ $ export VC_OSX_SDK=13.0
+For development dependencies management, you can use homebrew (https://brew.sh).
-Before building under MacOSX, pkg-config must be installed if not yet available.
-Get it from https://pkgconfig.freedesktop.org/releases/pkg-config-0.28.tar.gz and
+ $ brew install pkg-config yasm wxwidgets
+
+You also need system dependencies
+
+ $ brew install --cask macfuse packages
+
+After installating dependencies via brew, you can build a local development build
+
+ $ ./src/Build/build_veracrypt_macosx.sh -b
+
+If you want to build the package, you also need to pass `-p` to the build script above. The built
+executable will be in `.src/Main`
+
+If you prefer to build from sources, or without homebrew, pkg-config and packages must be installed.
+
+Get pkg-config from https://pkgconfig.freedesktop.org/releases/pkg-config-0.29.2.tar.gz and
compile using the following commands :
- $ ./configure --with-internal-glib
+ $ CFLAGS="-Wno-int-conversion" CXXFLAGS="-Wno-int-conversion" ./configure --with-internal-glib
$ make
$ sudo make install
After making sure pkg-config is available, download and install OSXFuse from
https://osxfuse.github.io/
The script build_veracrypt_macosx.sh available under "src/Build" performs the
full build of VeraCrypt including the creation of the installer pkg. It expects

+then wxWidgets should be at "/Users/joe/Projects/wxWidgets-3.2.5")
-The build process uses Code Signing certificates whose ID is specified in
+The make build process uses Code Signing certificates whose ID is specified in
src/Main/Main.make (look for lines containing "Developer ID Application" and
"Developer ID Installer"). You'll have to modify these lines to put the ID of
your Code Signing certificates or comment them if you don't have one.
Because of incompatibility issues with OSXFUSE, the SDK 10.9 generates a
VeraCrypt binary that has issues communicating with the OSXFUSE kernel extension.
Thus, we recommend using a different OSX SDK version for building VeraCrypt.

+To build the installation package, you will need Packages (http://s.sudre.free.fr/Software/Packages/about.html).
+The Packages installer that is used for VeraCrypt official build has been notarized by IDRIX and it is available at
