How do you install cocos2d-iphone on the Mac?

Question

There are no good instructions for installing cocos2d for iPhone on the mac.

1. I downloaded the current build from git, a folder called "cocos2d-iphone-0.99.1". i put this folder in /Developer/Libary. Q: is this right?

2. I tried running the file called "install_template.sh". it said the templates were already installed.

3. Instead, I manually dragged the templates folders where they belong, and they ~do~ appear in the XCode's "New Project" dialog.

4. When I create a new cocos2d project, I see all these red links for project files, instead of the regular black links. When I try to open them in the finder, nothing happens.

I can tell that something is not linked. Can someone please help walk me through this?

Thanks!

Answer 1

To install the templates, these instructions worked for me. You can see them here. Otherwise you can just download the library and use it. No install is really needed.

Answer 2

You also need to add the cocos2d files to your project in Xcode.
