Audacity 1.3.x is now obsolete. Please use the current Audacity 2.1.x version.

Mac 0S X 10.3 and earlier are no longer supported but you can download legacy versions of Audacity for those systems HERE.

help wanted -- person to compile and test Audacity on Mac

Post by Edgar » Mon Dec 05, 2011 7:00 pm

I occasionally supply code to the Audacity Team; a dozen or more of my patches have been used. Since Audacity has been in a "feature freeze" mode all my accepted patches have been bug-fix related. I can compile and test on Windows and have access to some folks who compile and test on Linux; what I lack is a partner to compile and test these bug-fixes on Mac. Currently the only Audacity Team Programmer working on Mac is extremely busy and has little or no time to do this kind of work.

Would you be willing to help out? You may reply here or send me a PM.

This has come up before. I can tell you I'd help, but I know it wouldn't work. Plus you need a stable current OS and I don't have Lion on anything. One machine is scrambled OSs and the other is Leopard. Koz

Ed:
I'll be getting a new iMac in the next month or so. I'm more than willing to learn how to build Audacity and test patches, but I'd need some hand-holding from a Mac guru until I get it running. Also I know there are issues with XCode 4 - I don't know if any of the Mac developers are using it yet.

Having you able to compile for Mac would be a huge step forward!
