Building on OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard

[bgravato]

I've built wxMac 2.8.12 from the sources downloaded from wxwidgets website. I didn't realize I needed to patch it first.
(...)
I noticed it mentioned later, after Audacity was built already and is working as far as I can see. How important is the patch?

I think the patches are available only for wxMac versions up to 2.8.11.
I guess that 2.8.12 probably doesn't need the patch anymore. The fact that you were able to build Audacity without any patching seems to indicate that.

I'm trying to build Audacity on a very similar environment. I was using wxMac 2.8.11. I'll try again with 2.8.12.

Thanks.

The 2.8.11 patch
http://code.google.com/p/audacity/sourc ... 8.11.patch

is still needed for Audacity releases against 2.8.12 because it prevents a hang when Audacity scans for VST plug-ins for the first time on OS X 10.5.8 (Leopard) PPC machines. If none of your users have 10.5 PPC, you don't need the patch.

I'll see about committing the patch somewhere if it doesn't get done.

Hi, thanks for the instructions, especially to plivesey. It worked for me after I made a few changes. They were necessary because I do not have 10.4 SDK installed on my computer – and it is not included by default when installing Xcode from Snow Leopard Install DVD.

In the buildwx.sh script I had to change the CONF_LINE like this:

Code: Select all

CONF_LINE="../configure CC=gcc-4.0 CXX=g++-4.0 LD=g++-4.0 --prefix=${PREFIX} 
                   --with-macosx-sdk=/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk 
                   --with-macosx-version-min=10.5 --disable-compat26 
                   --with-expat=builtin --with-zlib=builtin --with-regex=builtin 
                   --enable-universal_binary=yes --enable-unicode=yes"

Before building Audacity using Xcode (I was not able to build it using make), open the Audacity.xcodeproj, use Get Info on the whole project and in the Project “Audacity” Info dialog, set Base SDK to Mac OS X 10.5 on the Build page.
