Install command line tools from Xcode.

xcode-select --install

Clone SC-IM:

git clone https://github.com/andmarti1424/sc-im
cd sc-im

Install libxls with make:

curl -L https://github.com/libxls/libxls/releases/download/v1.6.3/libxls-1.6.3.tar.gz | tar -zxvf -
cd libxls-1.6.3
./configure
make
sudo make install
cd ..

Install libxml2 (requires Homebrew):

brew install libxml2

Move to src directory:

cd src

Add the following to the Makefile (under name is a good spot):

CFLAGS  += -DXLS $(shell pkg-config --cflags libxml-2.0 libxls)
LDFLAGS += $(shell pkg-config --libs libxml-2.0 libxls)
LDLIBS  += -lxlsreader

Install SC-IM:

make clean
make
sudo make install
