Hey y'all,
is there anyone here who's using a Mac? Have you successfully gotten plugin~ to work? You wanna give me a hand?

after doing './configure --build=ppc'

i run the Makefile and get this funky error.

>powerpc-apple-darwin8-gcc-4.0.0: unrecognized option `-shared'
>/usr/bin/ld: unknown flag: -export_dynamic
>collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
>make[1]: *** [plugin~.pd_linux] Error 1
>make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
>powerpc-apple-darwin8-gcc-4.0.0: unrecognized option `-shared'
>/usr/bin/ld: unknown flag: -export_dynamic
>collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
>make[1]: *** [plugin~.pd_linux] Error 1
>make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

I'd really appreciate someone's help. I've been stuck on this for months.

Thanks,

-Scott

The correct designation for osx 10.3 PPC machines when trying to configure PD is

pd_darwin

If you have a config file with bad code or other, and it asks you to specify system type, configure as follows

./configure --host=pd_darwin

then "make" and "sudo make install" as normal

Is anyone aware of the state of LADSPA for mac os 10.3? I've been using Fink to try to build the packages and get 'er up and running, but i'm unable to configure it/them for osx. This is, as I've found out, somewhat related to the question of why plugin~ won't build for osx. The make file needs a present ladspa or vst plugin to actually make from src (ladspa or vst need to be positive... present) I believe there is also a problem in the code of plugin~.... parsing errors that cannot be found out or hardwired.

I'm attempting (for the first time) to configure plugin~ for Pd-0.38-Otest7, the application bundle for OSX. The app is a little buggy itself, and typically quits a couple times a day. Be that as it may, it's the only version I can keep up and running. (no idea why) Anyway, I downloaded the extended externals bundle and attempted to configure plugin~ using "./configure" which worked nicely after installing the developer software that Mac thought I would never use. Unfortunately, the "make" which followed it failed to do anything (a million errors) Anyone have any ideas? Some of the errors were as follows:

plugin~.h:134: warning: function declaration isn't a prototype
plugin~.h:134: warning: data definition has no type or storage class
plugin~.h:137: error: parse error before '*' token

config.h:42:2: #error Either PLUGIN_TILDE_USE_LADSPA or PLUGIN_TILDE_USE_VST must be positive
In file included from plugin~.c:28:
plugin~.h:32:18: m_pd.h: No such file or directory
In file included from plugin~.c:28:


these are just a few. Any help appreciated with a possible next step.

Many thanks

Yeah, I:m really not sure.
I found some old forum logs from around 2001-2002, in which someone claimed to have gotten the makefile correct and gotten Plugin~ to work. It should work on any Unix system provided some alterations are made... chances are it wouldn:t work out of the box. I:ve been unable to contact the author, Jarno, so i:m not sure what protols I would have to change. What I was hoping to accomplish with this posting was to determine if anyone was able to get it to build. At this point, it doesn:t look like so....
