❔ Why?

Aseprite is a powerful tool for creating pixel art and animations, and as a hobby I've been doing pixel art for quite a while. However, building it on my MacBook was a challenging process. Thus, I've made this script which aims to simplify the build process by automating all of the steps, requiring little to no manual input.

🔨 Requirements

• Xcode
• CMake
• Ninja
• Git

🔖 Test Device

The script has successfully built Aseprite on the following device:

• Name: MacBook Air (M1, 2020)
• Chip: Apple M1
• Memory: 8 GB
• Storage: 256 GB
• macOS Version: Sonoma (14.6)

🚀 Build Instructions

1. Clone the repository:

# Clone using git.
$ git clone https://github.com/hitblast/aseprite-build-apple-m1.git

2. Run the script: (Since xattr is required to change some default attributes for creating the app, you might be prompted to enter your sudo password.)

# Change directory to the script.
$ cd aseprite-build-apple-m1

# Make the script executable.
$ chmod +x build.sh

# Run the script.
$ ./build.sh
