Tuitorial to document the steps needed to install QLC, LLA and Enttec DMX USB Pro on Mac OS X

New page

[[Category:Tutorials]]

== Purpose ==
To show the steps to get the Enttec DMX USB Pro interface working with the Linux Lighting Architecture under OS X. Also getting the Q Lighting Controller (QLC) to work with LLA.

==Introduction==
I have used the page [ http://www.opendmx.net/index.php/LLA%2C_OpenDMX_USB_and_Q_Light_Controller_Tutorial] as a template because it was well written and made sense.

Having used QLC in Linux with dmx4linux and an open dmx usb interface in the past I was excited to have a Mac OS X port of QLC and a DMX USB Pro interface with OS X drivers.

==Operating System==

This process was completed on a Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.6 and 10.5.7 system with Xcode 3.2.1 and Qt Framework 4.5.1

== LLA and Q Light Controller on OSX ==

This is a Tutorial for building and installing LLA and Q Light Controller with an Enttec USB Dmx Pro interface.

==Prerequisite packages==

=== XCode ===
XCode contains some of the necessary programs and libraries to compile LLA and QLC.

[http://developer.apple.com/technology/xcode.html http://developer.apple.com/technology/xcode.html]

=== Qt Framework ===
QLC uses the Qt Framework, so might as well have the newest one.

[http://www.qtsoftware.com/downloads/mac-os-cpp http://www.qtsoftware.com/downloads/mac-os-cpp]

=== MacPorts ===
MacPorts is used as a source for many of the tools needed.

[http://www.macports.org/install.php http://www.macports.org/install.php]

Once you have these core packages installed, continue

=== GIT ===

<code><pre>
sudo port install git-core
