You’re very welcome.

Well, throughout the past year I have collect infos [1] about getting an independent
CI system up and running on OSX/CI.

I am not sure whether this is the best way to get that done. Please refer to the
KDE-MAC mailing list as you’ll get more feedback on alternative installation methods
there. I know that Jeremy Whiting uses kdesrc-build for this, but currently seems to
have some dbus trouble.

There is more on KDE’s community wiki [2].

Harald Fernengel’s recipes in his HOMEBREWery might be also interesting for you [3].
I don’t know anything about Homebrew, but it looks like you should be able to get
quick start once HB is setup.

Unfortunately MacPorts - up to now - still doesn’t offer any ports for KF5, as we’re
lacking in manpower for this task.

I don’t know how up-to-date KDE’s techbase wiki page for OSX is these days, but I
know that Jeremy update it last December.

If you plan to work on OSX too, please join us over at KDE-MAC!!!

:-)

Greets,
Marko
