I finally decided to contribute to Audacity. Unfortunately, the build process for Mac is totally broken.
-
I have a white Macbook running 10.5.6 and I’ve been successfully developping all kind of Mac software, so I know that my Xcode installation works great.
-
I have successfully installed and compiled wxMac-2.8.9
-
I have downloaded the latest version via CVS
-
Whenever I ty to compile from the command line or from Xcode, I get an error saying that pkg-config could not be found.
checking for pkg-config… no
configure: error: pkg-config is required to compile audacity!
- On the Mac, pkg-config 0.21 is automatically installed in all systems (at least it was on mine).
- Do you actually have people testing the Mac compiling process from Xcode?
- Is it looking for pkg-config in a non-standard location on the Mac?
- How could this be fixed?
Audacity is such a great project, but if compiling was more straightforward, it wud get more contributors.
