This repository builds standalone Zcash binaries for macOS platform without installing brew.
No additional dependency required, all tools (autotools, cmake, gcc etc.) and libraries (boost, libsnark) are compiled from scratch.
$ git clone https://github.com/kozyilmaz/zcash-apple.git
$ cd zcash-apple
$ source environment
$ make
After successful build Zcash binaries will be installed to out directory under project root
You can then copy binary directory anywhere you like there are no dependencies to the build tree anymore

When launching Zcash on MacOS for the first time, certain initalization steps should be completed.
Please run the commands below once for the first time
$ cd out/usr/local/bin
$ ./zcash-fetch-params
$ ./zcash-init
$ ./zcashd
You can just run Zcash by launching the daemon afterwards
$ ./zcashd
Vaklinov's Desktop GUI Wallet also works, please follow build instructions for MacOS
Console output from the first run is below:
bash-3.2$ ./zcash-fetch-params
Zcash - fetch-params.sh
This script will fetch the Zcash zkSNARK parameters and verify their
integrity with sha256sum.
If they already exist locally, it will exit now and do nothing else.
The parameters are currently just under 911MB in size, so plan accordingly
for your bandwidth constraints. If the files are already present and
have the correct sha256sum, no networking is used.
