I am working on building the sync client for mac and have made it as far as running the `sh osx/build.sh` command. This command runs for a minute and then I hit an error that I cant seem to resolve. I did see another post that was having the same error but there isn’t an answer on how to fix it. I do have sparkle installed and I followed all of the steps here /github.com/nextcloud/client\_theming. Here is the link to the other question [Error building from source the OSX Desktop Client. Any tips?](https://help.nextcloud.com/t/error-building-from-source-the-osx-desktop-client-any-tips/11587)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This is the error:  
`make[2]: ***No rule to make target`/Users/builder/Library/Frameworks/Sparkle.framework’, needed by `src/libsync/libowncloudsync.2.3.2.dylib'. Stop. make[1]:*** [src/libsync/CMakeFiles/owncloudsync.dir/all] Error 2 make: *** [all] Error 2 sudo: /Users/administrator/client_theming/client/admin/osx/sign_app.sh: command not found Reference folder '../install/' does not exist.

Fixed this issue by going to the Sparkle.Framework in Library/Frameworks and doing chmod 777 on it.
