|
|
Audacity 2.0.5 requires wxMac 2.8.12.
|
|
|
|
If the advice here is inaccurate or incomplete, please
|
|
email audacity-devel@lists.sourceforge.net.
|
|
================================================================
|
|
|
|
Note: Audacity is no longer supported at all for Mac OS 9.
|
|
|
|
This document assumes you are using Mac OS X 10.4 or newer with
|
|
Xcode 1.5 or newer. If you type "gcc --version" at your prompt,
|
|
you should see:
|
|
|
|
gcc version 3.3 20030304 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 1666)
|
|
|
|
Only the command-line build process is officially supported
|
|
because it's easier to keep it in sync between the various
|
|
platforms. However, an Xcode 2.2 project is included in the
|
|
"mac" subdirectory that should be up-to-date.
|
|
|
|
We suggest that you follow the instructions below to compile
|
|
Audacity using the automated command-line build process first,
|
|
and only then consider using an IDE.
|
|
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
STEP 1: Download wxWindows
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
To simplify the implementation of a near-identical user
|
|
interface across platforms, Audacity uses classes and
|
|
resources from wxWindows, a portable GUI framework for C++
|
|
(and Python). You must download and build wxWindows before
|
|
attempting to compile Audacity, or nothing will work!
|
|
|
|
wxWindows is available from http://www.wxwindows.org.
|
|
Similar to the Linux kernel, wxWindows is available as
|
|
stable and development branches.
|
|
|
|
The best way to compile Audacity is to download wxMac 2.8.12.
|
|
|
|
For step 1, just download wxMac 2.8.12 from:
|
|
http://www.wxwindows.org/downloads/
|
|
|
|
Uncompress wxMac from the command line by typing:
|
|
|
|
tar xvzf wxMac-2.8.12.tar.gz
|
|
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
STEP 2: Download Audacity
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
You can find the latest Audacity source code from
|
|
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
|
|
|
|
To retrieve the latest version from SVN, use the following
|
|
command:
|
|
|
|
svn checkout http://audacity.googlecode.com/svn/audacity-src/trunk/ audacity-read-only
|
|
|
|
|
|
-----------------------------------------
|
|
STEP 3: Patch, compile and install wxMac
|
|
-----------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
* Apply "wxMac_bug_2_10.5.8_PPC.patch" in the
|
|
"mac/wxMac_additions" folder in the Audacity sources.
|
|
This has to be applied until we drop support for OS X 10.5.
|
|
|
|
* Apply "wxMac-2.8.12-wxaccessible.patch" in the
|
|
"mac/wxMac_additions" folder in the Audacity sources.
|
|
This will add accessibility support (VoiceOver) to wxMac.
|
|
It is not absolutely required, but to be compatible with
|
|
released versions of Audacity, it should be applied.
|
|
|
|
* Apply any other wxMac patches in the "mac" directory that
|
|
are relevant to the version of wxMac you are compiling.
|
|
|
|
cd wxMac-2.8.12
|
|
mkdir macbuild
|
|
cd macbuild
|
|
../configure --disable-shared --enable-unicode --enable-accessibility
|
|
make
|
|
sudo make install
|
|
|
|
[ Type your Mac OS X password ]
|
|
|
|
---------------------------------------------
|
|
STEP 4a: Compile Audacity using command line
|
|
---------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
To compile everything:
|
|
|
|
./configure --enable-static-wx
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
--------------------------------------
|
|
STEP 4b: Compile Audacity using Xcode
|
|
--------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Double click Audacity.xcodeproj in the "mac" subdirectory of the Audacity
|
|
source tree.
|
|
|
|
Click the "Build" toolbar button or select "Build" from the "Build"
|
|
menu.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: If you installed wxWidgets using a prefix other than the default
|
|
(/usr/local), you will need to specify the prefix you used in the project
|
|
before building.
|
|
|
|
Double click "Audacity" in the "Groups & Files" tree. Go to the "Build"
|
|
page and change the WX_PREFIX setting to the value you used.
