Building EOS

Yes it's true, the EOS code is available for all to clone/fork.

Here's a couple of quick notes on things I stumbled getting this first round to build. Note, I am assuming you have a basic understanding of how to use git, cmake, etc.

1. Remember to fetch submodules, this is your 1-2 punch before doing anything else :
   git clone https://github.com/EOSIO/eos.git
git submodule update --init --recursive

2. I am using a mac to build, so initially I tried cmake -G Xcode but ran into too many issues so I switched to cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" in a separate workspace.

3. This could be Xcode related but I couldn't use OpenSSL 1.1.0f, I had to revert to OpenSSL 1.0.2.

4. there are several directories currently flagged as [incomplete][no build]. These may
   contain non-compiling code. Use "make -k" or whatever "keep compiling after an error" option is available for your build environment.

5. the latest code is in the "refactor" branch.

6. Nothing runs yet, so refrain from pelting @dantheman and @modprobe with complaints about non-running code. Be happy @dantheman elected to pull back the curtain so early on to allow the world to watch and contribute as EOS is made.

Finally, a nod to @modprobe for creating the #qwoa "quick word of advice" tag. This may not be as life changing as debugging your space with a flashlight, but it is a qwoa!

Cheers!
