= Install a Compiler=

The easiest is to install [http://developer.apple.com/technology/xcode.html Xcode] . Xcode comes in two versions: XCode 4 which you need to pay for and XCode 3 which is free. XCode 3 works just fine.

You can use other compilers but that's outside the scope of this tutorial.

= Install OLA Dependancies =

The easiest way is to install the dependancies using [http://www.macports.org/ MacPorts].

Once you have MacPorts installed, running the following command to download and build the dependancies.

sudo port install pkgconfig cppunit protobuf-cpp unittest-cpp libmicrohttpd libusb protobuf-python27

You may need to change which protobuf-python port you install based on the version of Python on your system. You can find that out by running

python --version

On my system I get

Python 2.7.1

So I install the protobuf-python27 port. Remember which version you install because you'll need it in the next section.

You also need git installed, if you haven't got it already run

sudo port install git

= Set some environment variables =

Set $PATH to point to something sane, and fix some other environment variables:

export PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/lib/"
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/opt/local/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH"
export CPPFLAGS="-I/opt/local/include"
export LDFLAGS="-L/opt/local/lib"
export PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/:/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages

You may need to tweak the PYTHONPATH depending on where protobuf-python was installed. You can find that out by running:

port contents protobuf-python27

Make sure the port name matches the one you installed in the step above.

= Download OLA =

Download the latest tarball from http://code.google.com/p/linux-lighting/downloads/list.

Extract the tarball:

tar -zxf ola-0.X.Y.tar.gz
cd ola-0.X.Y

= Run autoreconf=

If this is the first time run with -i to install the missing files

autoreconf -i

= Do the usual build steps=

You can pass additional options to ./configure . Run

./configure --help

to see all options. The most popular option is --enable-python-libs to build the Python Client Module.

Once you've decided on the options, it's time to build OLA

./configure --enable-python-libs
make
make check
sudo make install

= Common Problems =

== Architectures ==

Snow Leopard and newer builds binaries as 64-bit by default. If you need to build the libraries as 32-bit, use the following command to fetch with the right architecture in ports:

sudo port install pkgconfig cppunit +universal protobuf-cpp +universal unittest-cpp libmicrohttpd libusb +universal

And then modify the build step:

export CPPFLAGS="-arch i386"
export LDFLAGS=" -arch i386"
./configure
make
make check

== Mac OS X Version 10.4 ==

If you're building for 10.4 you need to run configure and make with MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET:

export MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.4

otherwise you'll get errors in the form

/Developer/usr/bin/ld: multiple definitions of symbol _create ../plugins/stageprofi/.libs/libolastageprofi.dylib(single module) definition of _create
