This is a preference pane for installing and starting the p4d server on OS X via the recommended launchd mechanism.

There is a piece missing from the public repository, due to the current licensing limbo re: the p4d binary (I'm currently in talks with the Perforce licensing department to make sure I can legally include the binary in this distribution). For now, if you want to build and test this at home, you'll need to put your own copy of the p4d executable in the same folder as this README.

To build, simply run "xcodebuild" from the command line. This presumes of course that you have the XCode development tools already installed on your machine.

To install, "open build/Release/Perforce\ Server.prefPane"

This will install the prefPane on your machine under /Library/PreferencePanes (if you install for all users on this computer) or under ~/Library/PreferencePanes (if you install only for yourself). You should be able to open the Perforce Server preference pane at this point, start the server, and be off and running!

Note that this release does not support changing P4ROOT, P4LOG, or P4PORT. I'll be making those options configurable once I'm actually working for Perforce.
