[Qgis-user] Building QGIS3 for OS X with MacPorts

I followed David Marteau's very helpful instructions for building QGIS3 
at 
https://www.3liz.com/blog/rldhont/index.php?post/2017/06/01/How-to-build-qgis-on-OSX-with-MacPort, 
on a Sierra OS X with all updates and a current MacPorts installation.

I needed to add these dependencies:

     lbzip2 py36-setuptools

Where can I find QGIS 3.0 source files? I downloaded 
http://qgis.org/downloads/qgis-latest.tar.bz2, but that's qgis-2.18.13.

I also tried https://github.com/wonder-sk/QGIS/archive/3d-2.zip, using 
Marteau's makefile, replacing spaces with tabs. Cmake didn't find 
libzip, so I modified

     cmake/FindLibZip.cmake txt2tags

to include the paths to MacPort's libzip package (/opt/local/..).

However, there's a syntax error relating to the 3D features, reported 
separately.

Is there a mainline version of QGIS3 we can test build, just to get 
ready for the release?

Cheers,
Dave
