+~~Title: EFL on Mac OS X~~
+
+<note warning>
+If you are coming here for Enlightenment (the desktop manager) on Mac OS X... sorry but Enlightenment is not supported on Mac OS X... and it is not planned in a near future.
+</note>
+
+The Enlightenment Foundation's projects mostly targets Linux platforms, therefore not everything work on Mac OS X works the first time. This is due to:
+  * the specificities of the Operating System (kernel+userland);
+  * the fact there are a very few Enlightened OS X users :'(
+
+This document explains how to install the EFL/Elementary which are key projects to install anything else made by the Enlightenment Foundation. It also shows what does not work on OS X that does on Linux.
+
+====== Setting up the environment ======
+
+You need to have the OS X CLT (Command-Line Tools) first, then install the dependancies. The easiest way is by using a package manager. [[http://brew.sh|Homebrew]] is assumed to be the package manager.
+
+<note important>
+The CTL are not bundled with Xcode. Don't assume that they are installed if Xcode is installed.
+</note>
+
+To install the CTL, you should process as it follows:
+  * download the latest version of Xcode on the Mac App Store;
+  * run ''xcode-select --install'' in a terminal to install the CLT.
+
+====== Mac OS X Homebrew Packages (not advised) ======
+
+<note important>
+Mac OS X packages are outdated. They might work, but you SHOULD instead consider manual installation since EFL on Mac OS X are still experimental.
+</note>
+
+Since mid-April 2015, Leif Middelschulte provided Homebrew formulas for:
+  * EFL 1.14.y
+  * Elementary 1.14.y
+  * evas-generic-loaders 1.14.y
+
+See at http://brew.sh how to install Homebrew if it isn't already installed.
+Then, just execute :
+
+<code bash>
+brew update                       # Just to refresh homebrew
+brew install efl                  # To install EFL
+brew install elementary           # To install Elementary
+brew install evas-generic-loaders # To install evas-generic-loaders
+</code>
+
+====== Manual Installation (recommanded) ======
+
+If you want to have the very latest version of EFL, here is the procedure:
+  * install the dependancies;
+  * configure the source;
+  * compile the sources and install them.
+
+===== Dependancies with Homebrew =====
+
+<code bash>
+brew install autoconf automake libtool autoconf-archive gettext check pkg-config luajit libjpeg freetype fribidi fontconfig giflib libtiff glib dbus libsndfile bullet
+brew migrate dbus
+mkdir -p ~/Library/LaunchAgents
+ln -sfv /usr/local/opt/d-bus/*.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents
+launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist
+</code>
+
+You need to add `autopoint` to your `$PATH` if you want to use gettext. Write the line below in your ''$HOME/.profile'' or similar file.
+
+<code bash>
+export PATH="$(brew --prefix gettext)/bin:$PATH"
+</code>
+
+
+===== Configuring, Building and Installing EFL =====
+
+Installing dependancies on OS X is painful, but now you did it (congrats'), you can grab the sources from the git repository:
+
+<code bash>
+git clone git://git.enlightenment.org/core/efl.git # Get the sources
+cd efl # Go to repository you cloned
+./autogen.sh --disable-gstreamer --disable-gstreamer1 --disable-pulseaudio
+make -j $(nproc) # Compile
+sudo make -j $(nproc) install # Install
+</code>
