Compiling XCode 4.5 Mountain Lion

Programming and Development Compiling Audacity

Moved from the Mac 2.x Help board

Hi folks,

I’m banging with my head few days trying to get run the newest Audacity with wxWidgets 2.8.12 on my Mac.

What I have done :

Compiled and installed wxWidgets :

../configure --disable-shared --disable-universal_binary --prefix=/Users/Patrik/Develop/RCAudio/audacity/wx --enable-static --enable-unicode --disable-depency-tracking --enable-monolithic --enable-debug --with-macosx-sdk=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk --with-macosx-version-min=10.5 CFLAGS="-arch i386" CXXFLAGS="-arch i386" CPPFLAGS="-arch i386" LDFLAGS="-arch i386" OBJCFLAGS="-arch i386" OBJCXXFLAGS="-arch i386"

sudo make install

Compiled the Audacity :

./configure --enable-static --with-portmixer="local" --with-macosx-sdk=/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.6.sdk --with-macosx-version-min=10.6

But then when I want to make :

I get errors :

/wx/mac/carbon/private.h:1459: error: ‘Cursor’ does not name a type
/wx/include/wx-2.8/wx/mac/carbon/private.h:1488: error: ‘ClassicCursor’ does not name a type

make[2]: *** [mac/FileDialogPrivate.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [FileDialog-recursive] Error 2
make: *** [audacity] Error 2

Compiling from Xcode works neither : I get error :

from Configure :

audacity/mac/DerivedData/Audacity/Build/Intermediates/Audacity.build/Debug Static/Configure.build/Script-17072E8C0988BD85008541CC.sh: line 44: sh: command not found
Command /bin/sh failed with exit code 1

Can anyone help??? THX!

Building Audacity on “Mountain Lion” is not officially supported yet. A Mac developer who sometimes works on Audacity got it to work with hackage but has not documented his steps. No-one else has made it work yet.

You may get some ideas from http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Developing_On_Mac , not least don’t think about compiling from the configure script, use Xcode. It’s also the case I think that unless you symlink Xcode 4 to a parallel installation of Xcode 3, you will build an “Intel only”, “10.6 and later only” version of Audacity which we couldn’t release because we still support 10.4 and PPC. The Audacity universal binary releases are still built with Xcode3 on 10.4, or symlinked Xcode 3/4 on OS X 10.6 ( http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Release_Process/Mac ).

I’m interested in compiling Audacity on Mountain Lion myself but I am not a programmer, so I can compile Audacity on Windows and Linux because there are known steps, but not on Mountain Lion. It would be good if you could help with documenting whatever progress you make.

If you want the 10.4 SDK, does that not come with Xcode 3?
