+On Mac OS X, all you need to compile Panda3D is a set of precompiled
+thirdparty packages, which can be acquired from here:
+https://www.panda3d.org/download/panda3d-1.9.0/panda3d-1.9.0-tools-mac.tar.gz
+
+After placing the thirdparty directory inside the panda3d source directory,
+you may build Panda3D using a command like the following:
+
+```bash
+python makepanda/makepanda.py --everything --installer
+```
+
+In order to make a universal build, pass the --universal flag.  You may also
+target a specific minimum Mac OS X version using the --osxtarget flag followed
+by the release number, eg. 10.6 or 10.7.
+
+If the build was successful, makepanda will have generated a .dmg file in
+the source directory containing the installer.  Simply open it and run the
+package file in order to install the SDK onto your system.
