Instructions for building on macOS using CMake.
|
||||
|
||||
Building on macOS has been made much simpler with the Audacity 2.4.0
|
||||
release. Still, read this document thoroughly before starting.
|
||||
|
||||
1) Get and install the latest Xcode version available your macOS version:
|
||||
|
||||
MacOS Xcode Version (as of Mar 2020)
|
||||
Catalina - 10.15 11.3
|
||||
Mojave - 10.14 10.3
|
||||
High Sierra - 10.13 9.4.1
|
||||
Sierra - 10.12 9.2
|
||||
El Capitan - 10.11 8.2.1
|
||||
Yosemite - 10.10 7.2.1
|
||||
|
||||
2) Clone the Audacity repository:
|
||||
|
||||
git clone https://github.com/audacity/audacity
|
||||
|
||||
3) Clone wxWidgets 3.1.3:
|
||||
|
||||
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/audacity/wxWidgets.git
|
||||
|
||||
Ensure that you clone with the "--recurse-submodules" option, and do not
|
||||
just download the Zip package, otherwise there will be required components
|
||||
missing.
|
||||
|
||||
Don't be tempted to use wxWidgets already installed by a package manager
|
||||
such as Homebrew because this will cause problems.
|
||||
|
||||
We have applied some Audacity specific patches to wxWidgets to better
|
||||
support VoiceOver, so please use the audacity-fixes-3.1.3 branch. It's
|
||||
the default branch on our GitHub copy:
|
||||
|
||||
https://github.com/audacity/wxWidgets/tree/audacity-fixes-3.1.3
|
||||
|
||||
You can be certain the correct branch is active with:
|
||||
|
||||
git checkout audacity-fixes-3.1.3
|
||||
|
||||
4) Change directory to the folder where wxWidgets was cloned and build it using:
|
||||
|
||||
sudo <path to Audacity source>/mac/scripts/build_wxwidgets
|
||||
|
||||
5) The config command should return "3.1.3" if the install was successful:
|
||||
|
||||
/usr/local/x86_64/bin/wx-config --version
|
||||
|
||||
6) Now that you have wxWidgets installed, edit your ~/.bash_profile or
|
||||
~/.zprofile and add:
|
||||
|
||||
export WX_CONFIG=/usr/local/x86_64/bin/wx-config
|
||||
|
||||
Log out and back in again (or reboot) for this to take effect.
|
||||
|
||||
7) Download the CMake 3.16.4 DMG from:
|
||||
|
||||
https://cmake.org/download
|
||||
|
||||
8) Double click the DMG, follow the prompts and drag the CMake app to the
|
||||
Applications folder.
|
||||
|
||||
If you will be building from the command line, open the CMake application
|
||||
and click the "Tools -> How to Install For Command Line Use" menu. It will
|
||||
give you additional instructions on making CMake available to the command
|
||||
line.
|
||||
|
||||
You are now ready to start building Audacity.
|
||||
|
||||
BUILDING USING THE CMAKE GUI
|
||||
|
||||
NOTE: Building with the GUI interface will result in the downloading of
|
||||
another copy of wxWidgets from Audacity.
|
||||
|
||||
1) Open the app.
|
||||
|
||||
2) Click the "Browse Source..." button and locate the top of your Audacity
|
||||
source tree, then click the "Open" button.
|
||||
|
||||
3) Click the "Browse Build..." button and find the location where you want to
|
||||
put the build (use the "New Folder" button at the bottom left to create a
|
||||
new folder).
|
||||
|
||||
This folder does not have to be in or even near the source tree, but it
|
||||
must not be the same as the source tree. However, it is common to make it
|
||||
a subdirectory of the Audacity source tree.
|
||||
|
||||
4) Click the "Configure" button and when the dialog pops up, select "Xcode" for
|
||||
the generator, then click the "Done" button.
|
||||
|
||||
5) Click the "Generate" button to create the Xcode project.
|
||||
|
||||
6) Now you can either click the "Open Project" button or go to your "Build" folder in
|
||||
Finder and open the Xcode project as normal.
|
||||
|
||||
BUILDING FROM THE COMMAND LINE
|
||||
|
||||
1) Change directory to your Audacity source tree.
|
||||
|
||||
cd audacity
|
||||
|
||||
2) Create the "build" folder (name it anything you like):
|
||||
|
||||
mkdir bld
|
||||
|
||||
3) Change to the "build" folder:
|
||||
|
||||
cd bld
|
||||
|
||||
4) Configure and generate the Xcode project:
|
||||
|
||||
cmake -G Xcode ..
|
||||
|
||||
5) Build Audacity using the CMake command or xcodebuild:
|
||||
|
||||
cmake --build . --config Release
|
||||
|
||||
xcodebuild --configuration Release
|
||||
|
||||
The "Audacity.app" bundle will be in the "bin/Release" subdirectory of your
|
||||
"build" folder, so you can start it via Finder or:
|
||||
|
||||
open bin/Release/Audacity.app
|
||||
|
||||
Notes:
|
||||
|
||||
- If you'd like to get a completely clean build, just delete "build" folder
|
||||
and return to step 2 above.
|
||||
|
||||
- Once the Xcode project is generated, you shouldn't have to "configure" or
|
||||
"generate" again as it will be done for you automatically after pulling
|
||||
updates and building.
|
||||
|
||||
For example:
|
||||
|
||||
cd <audacity> directory
|
||||
git pull
|
||||
cd bld
|
||||
cmake --build . --config Release
|
