Installing Bitshares / graphene from source on Mac OS X Yosemite (10.5.5)

Summary

If you want to install Bitshares / graphene from source on Mac OS X Yosemite, there are a couple of gotchas not documented in the official instructions, located here:

https://github.com/cryptonomex/graphene/wiki/Building-on-OS-X

In my case, if I followed those instructions, I got compile errors. Here's what worked for me instead. I put the error messages observed below, so that this is more visible to search engines.

Compiling Bitshares from source on Mac OS X Yosemite (10.5.5).

Install XCode and its command line tools by following the instructions here: https://guide.macports.org/#installing.xcode. In OS X 10.11 (El Capitan) and newer, you will be prompted to install developer tools when running a devloper command in the terminal. This step may not be needed.
Install Homebrew by following the instructions here: http://brew.sh/
Initialize Homebrew:

brew doctor
brew update

Install dependencies:

brew install  cmake git openssl autoconf automake berkely-db google-perftools

Install boost160

brew install homebrew/versions/boost160

Note that you'll see this warning:

==> Caveats
This formula is keg-only, which means it was not symlinked into /usr/local.

Conflicts with boost

Generally there are no consequences of this for you. If you build your
own software and it requires this formula, you'll need to add to your
build variables:

    LDFLAGS:  -L/usr/local/opt/boost160/lib
    CPPFLAGS: -I/usr/local/opt/boost160/include

==> Summary
🍺  /usr/local/Cellar/boost160/1.60.0: 11,139 files, 436.8M

Clone the Graphene repository:

git clone https://github.com/cryptonomex/graphene.git
cd graphene

Build BitShares:

git submodule update --init --recursive
cmake  -DOPENSSL_ROOT_DIR=/usr/local/opt/openssl -DOPENSSL_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/local/opt/openssl/include -DBOOST_ROOT=/usr/local/opt/boost160 -DBOOST_LIBRARYDIR=/usr/local/opt
make

Troubleshooting the Bitshares compile process

Homebrew refuses to link to the Homebrew version of OpenSSL. During openssl install, Homebrew will give this error message:

Apple has deprecated use of OpenSSL in favor of its own TLS and crypto libraries

Generally there are no consequences of this for you. If you build your
own software and it requires this formula, you'll need to add to your
build variables:

    LDFLAGS:  -L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib
    CPPFLAGS: -I/usr/local/opt/openssl/include
    PKG_CONFIG_PATH: /usr/local/opt/openssl/lib/pkgconfig

If you try to force brew to link to OpenSSL, you get this error message:

crasch$ brew link --force openssl
Warning: Refusing to link: openssl
Linking keg-only openssl means you may end up linking against the insecure,
deprecated system OpenSSL while using the headers from Homebrew's openssl.
Instead, pass the full include/library paths to your compiler e.g.:
  -I/usr/local/opt/openssl/include -L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib

If you try to make anyway, you'll get this error message:

CMake Error at /usr/local/Cellar/cmake/3.6.2/share/cmake/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:148 (message):
  Could NOT find OpenSSL, try to set the path to OpenSSL root folder in the
  system variable OPENSSL_ROOT_DIR (missing: OPENSSL_LIBRARIES) (found
  version "0.9.8}")

To work around this, you have to explicitly pass the location of the OPENSSL_ROOT_DIR and OPENSSL_INCLUDE_DIR directories to the Cmake command. If you're successful, you'll see something like this in the compile output:

-- OPENSSL_FOUND        = TRUE
-- OPENSSL_INCLUDE_DIR     = /usr/local/opt/openssl/include
-- OPENSSL_LIBRARIES = /usr/local/opt/openssl/lib/libssl.a;/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib/libcrypto.a
-- OPENSSL_VERSION = 1.0.2h

Next, the latest boost package conflicts with this version of graphene. If you try to build with the last boost package, you get this compile error:

To work around, you have to install the boost160 package instead, and explicitly pass the location of the BOOST_ROOT BOOST_LIBRARYDIR directories to the Cmake command.
