Building HandBrake for Mac

Building HandBrake for Mac requires an Apple computer with a 64-bit Intel processor running OS X 10.10.5 Yosemite or later, and the following dependencies.

• Xcode 7.2.1 or later
  • free Apple Developer registration required, or install from the Mac App Store
• Command Line Tools for Xcode (optional)
  • free Apple Developer registration required, or install using xcode-select --install

Additional dependencies (may be built via included script):

• autoconf
• automake
• cmake (3.3.0 or later recommended)
• libtool
• pkg-config
• yasm 1.2.0 or later (1.3.0 or later recommended)

Install Xcode and open it once. You may quit Xcode after it has finished loading.

Clone the HandBrake repository.

git clone https://github.com/HandBrake/HandBrake.git && cd HandBrake

You may build and install the additional dependencies using the included script. Feel free to choose a different output path, if desired.

scripts/mac-toolchain-build /usr/local

This process will take a few minutes. If necessary, the script will provide you with instructions for adding the resulting binaries location to your environment's PATH¹. Do this now.

Build HandBrake.

./configure --launch-jobs=$(sysctl -n hw.ncpu 2>/dev/null) --launch

When complete, you will find HandBrake.app and HandBrakeCLI in the build/xroot directory.
