Aha, you try build WIN app on OS X

Of course no.

Please take these points:

1) Currently all Valentina ADKs expect that you will develop MAC APPs on
MAC, and WIN APPs on WIN.

    So you will download and install MAC archive to your MAC,
    And WIN archive of your ADK to your WIN.

WHY? Because of size of archives ...


2) On Windows computer it is NOT possible build correct MAC app.

3) On MAC computer IT IS possible build correct WIN app.

    For this you need download WIN archive (EXE), and run it on some WIN.
    then COPY installed win vcomponents and external/plugins to your MAC.
    
    Now, when you have WIN DLLs, you can follow to the same instructions.

For Revolution, in particular, you may be need yet copy EXTERNAL V4REV.dll
from WIN into WIN folder of externals of your Revolution.
