Can I use OpenFrameworks on OS X without having to use XCode?

I can't stand XCode, but really love OpenFrameworks, and I know it works on Linux+Win32 so I don't see why it should be XCode dependent. If I need to have XCode installed that's fine, I just don't want to use it at all.

As of March 2013, openFrameworks has official makefile support for compiling the library itself. However, at the time of this writing, the changes haven't yet been merged into the stable release. You'll need to clone the Git repository and switch to the development branch.

git clone https://github.com/openframeworks/openFrameworks
cd openFrameworks && git checkout develop
cd libs/openFrameworksCompiled/project
make

As far as I can tell, we still need to use the unofficial solutions for compiling apps against the library.

Here's a link to a makefile which will compile an OpenFrameworks application on OsX:

Place the makefile in the apps' directory and run make. Tested on OsX 10.6, but haven't tried with addons yet.
