Improvements over the original include:
Compiles on Macs with a case-sensitive filesystem (thanks to er2off’s fixes).
Can be compiled with either Homebrew or MacPorts. Previously, only Homebrew worked to build it.

Xcode command line tools installed. This can be done by opening terminal and executing xcode select --install. Alternatively, the website xcodereleases.com lists direct download links from Apple.

1) Clone my fork recursively:
git clone --recursive https://github.com/alex-free/source-engine
2) Change into the source-engine directory:
cd source-engine
3) Configure the build. You can pass --prefix=/somedirectory and have it install there later. I choose /Users/alex/half-life-2:
python3 ./waf configure -T release --prefix=/Users/alex/half-life-2
Note: The official wiki states “If you need a 64 bit build add -8 or –64bits argument to WAF.” but this is outdated and in fact if you do this waf will give you an error in the official repo and my fork.
4) Build:
python3 ./waf build.
5) Install it:
python3 waf install
