19 Building on @value{OS.osx} is well supported. It is the reference platform for @value{HB.name}. The following are the recommended specifications for this platform; but is not necessarily the only configuration that is possible:
22 @item Mac Intel hardware
23 @item @value{OS.osx} 10.5.6
25 @item gcc 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5490)
26 @item yasm 0.7.2.2153 (for i386 and x86_64 architectures)

38 The two general methods to build on @value{OS.osx} are building from @b{terminal} or @b{Xcode}. The preferred method for automated and repeatable builds is to use the terminal. Otherwise the choice is generally up to the individual. In essence, the terminal actually invokes @command{xcodebuild} to build the very same targets contained in the Xcode project.
