I’m running into trouble building the experimental ver on OSX. I was able to make the regular version using the compile guide no problems.  
Can anyone point me in the right direction. Cheers

Following the guide found here: [https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/blob/master/COMPILING.md](https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/blob/master/COMPILING.md)

When I used the brew command I got the following errors: (brew install homebrew/games/cataclysm --HEAD)

This looks like your compiler does not understand the C++11 stuff.

As far as I know, you have to add [tt]OSX\_MIN=10.7[/tt] to the make command. It’s done in the other (successful) builds, e.g. [http://smf.cataclysmdda.com/index.php?topic=9106.msg207567#msg207567](http://smf.cataclysmdda.com/index.php?topic=9106.msg207567#msg207567)
