            The idea of this tutorial is to help you get Ogre3D 1.9 (built statically) running in Mac OS X (Yosemite) from scratch using the QtCreator IDE.

! Prerequisites


You need to have a basic C++ background (know how to compile, debug a program).
Basic knowledge about how to use a terminal in Mac OS X (create folders, list directory contents, etc.).
A will to learn about how Ogre3D works.
An Internet connection (I know this sounds obvious, but it’s better to clarify :) ).
Have the following software installed (I list the versions that I’m using, but for your may be different. I’m including them for reference):
Xcode (6.0.1 version).
Mercurial (2.9.2+20140418 version)
QtCreator (3.3.0-rc1-opensource version).
CMake (2.8.12.2 version).   
When I say “terminal” I’m referring to the Mac OS X Terminal.
When entering a command in the terminal, I refer to the current path location with the following notation:  /folder1/folder2/folder3 $> somecommand
