Joey Hess ff912832c0 reorganize osx app, so it can be put in PATH
Move all the binaries and libraries under a bundle/ subdirectory;
so when it's in PATH only git-annex, runshell, and git-annex-webapp
will be available.

## git-annex.app
[[!img /assistant/osx-app.png align=right link=/assistant]]
For easy installation, use the
[beta release of git-annex.app](http://downloads.kitenet.net/git-annex/OSX/current/).
Be sure to select the build matching your version of OSX.
If you want to run the [[git-annex_assistant|/assistant]], just
install the app, look for the icon, and start it up.
To use git-annex at the command line, you can add
`git-annex.app/Contents/MacOS` to your `PATH`
Alternatively, from the command line you can run
`git-annex.app/Contents/MacOS/runshell`, which makes your shell use all the
programs bundled inside the app, including not just git-annex, but git, and
several more. Handy if you don't otherwise have git installed.
This is still a work in progress. See [[/bugs/OSX_app_issues]] for problem
reports.
## autobuilds
[Jimmy Tang](http://www.sgenomics.org/~jtang/) autobuilds
the app for OSX Lion.

## using Brew
<pre>
brew update
brew install haskell-platform git ossp-uuid md5sha1sum coreutils libgsasl gnutls libidn libgsasl pkg-config libxml2
brew link libxml2
cabal update
PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH
cabal install c2hs git-annex --bindir=$HOME/bin
</pre>
## using MacPorts
Install the Haskell Platform from [[http://hackage.haskell.org/platform/mac.html]].
The version provided by Macports is too old to work with current versions of git-annex.
Then execute
<pre>
sudo port install git-core ossp-uuid md5sha1sum coreutils gnutls libxml2 libgsasl pkgconfig
sudo cabal update
PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH
cabal install c2hs git-annex --bindir=$HOME/bin
</pre>
## PATH setup
Do not forget to add to your PATH variable your ~/bin folder. In your .bashrc, for example:
<pre>
PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH
</pre>
