Hi, and welcome here I'll try to help you (and snakecoils) as best as I can.

The extra ../ is not an error, but rather a consequence of how my automated build system works (which executes make -f macosx.mk).

with the following changes in the Makefile from the same directory.

so the cp for libfs-capsimage.dylib should start as:

cp ../out/libfs-capsimage.dylib etc.etc.

When you run "make -f macosx.mk", a new clean copy of the source dir is created in a subdir, and the compilation process occur in this subdir, so the extra ../ is to account for this. Alternatively, if "make -f macosx.mk" fails, you could post the error here, and we could fix that problem instead.

If you compile from the source tarballs, there's nothing wrong with modifying that line and running make from within the macosx dir (If you compile from the git repository, make -f macosx should be used instead, because this updates the version number thoughout the source code).

I just copied the libfs-capsimage.dylib in the out folder and modified the Makefile by removing the extra ../ in the cp ../../out/libfs-capsimage.dylib etc. etc. line and voila'

Copying resources from another FS-UAE.app is generally a bad idea, and copying files from Contents/Frameworks for another CPU architecture is an especially bad idea

An app bundle for the launcher will be created when you run "make -f macosx.mk", or if you CD into macos and run "make launcher" there. For this to work, you need to have Python 2.7 installed along with the following Python extensions (for 2.7): setuptools, wxPython, pygame, and py2app.

Hope this helps

If you get stuck, just ask for help, but please post any error messages / relevant console output!
