Macports packages

  • First, download and install macports binaries that allow search and install other software (similar to apt-get) 
 http://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/downloads/
  • Check that ~/.profile has been automatically modified with PATH pointing at /opt/local/bin
  • You maybe will need to start a new terminal to refresh the PATH value.
  • If you don't have wget installed it, consider doing it now, it always comes handy: 
 $ sudo port install wget
  • Install CLAM dependencies available in darwinports. This command will compile each packages from upstream (the original project site) and will automatically pull its dependencies: 
  $ sudo port install xercesc pkgconfig libsndfile libogg libmad libvorbis fftw-3 fftw-3-single cppunit id3lib portaudio
  • python and scons are also in macports. They are needed as build tools. CLAM builds both with scons/python in darwinports and with the native packages. 
 $ sudo port install scons
[edit]

Packages not available in darwinports

UPDATE: these packages are now available: portaudio, qt4-mac qt3-mac 

  $ sudo port install portaudio qt4-mac
[edit]

Deprecated:

  • portaudio 
  $ wget http://www.portaudio.com/archives/pa_snapshot_v19.tar.gz
untar the package, 
  $ ./configure --disable-portaudio
  $ make
and finally 
  $ sudo make install
  • qt4-3.1 precompiled package - recommended 
  $ wget http://ftp.iasi.roedu.net/mirrors/ftp.trolltech.com/qt/source/qt-mac-opensource-4.3.1.dmg
Qt is installed in /usr/local/Trolltech//Qt-4.3.1 so you should define QTDIR accordantly 
  $ export QTDIR=/usr/local/Trolltech//Qt-4.3.1
  • qt4.3.1 mac-free (not x11) 
  $ wget http://ftp.iasi.roedu.net/mirrors/ftp.trolltech.com/qt/source/qt-mac-opensource-src-4.3.1.tar.gz
and do the typical dance (macport devs devels informed us that a macport for qt4 is on the way). Note: qt is needed in order to build the applications, but you might not need it if all you want to do is build the lib. Since qt takes a long time to build and install it's worth skipping if you don't need it ;)
  • JackOSX and QJackCtrl
download JackOSX 
http://jackosx.com/download.html
mount it and follow instructions.
Then download QJackCtl 
http://ardour.org/files/releases/QJackCtl-0.2.22.dmg
and read README for initial setup instructions.

CLAM sources

You can choose either download a source tarball from the clam website:

http://clam.iua.upf.edu//download-source.html

or get the latest version of subversion. In this case you'll also need to install subversion macport: 

  $ sudo port install subversion
  $ svn co http://iua-share.upf.edu/svn/clam/trunk
[edit]

CLAM build

Note that you need to disable LADSPA support when building for Mac. Read the CLAM/INSTALL file if you're not familiar with the clam scons build sequence. Basically it's this: 

 $ scons configure
 $ scons
 $ sudo scons install
  • In case you are interested in building the Annotator app, you must build Annotator/vmqt first.
  • All applications should build and run. Inform clam-devel for any problem
  • applications packaging :
    • just do 'scons bundle' and 'scons package'
  • Tip: use non system clam prefix (!= usr/local) for developing
[edit]

Troubleshooting

  • If you encounter some errors while compiling the dependecies of CLAM with MacPorts, check that you have a default XCode installation plus the X11 SDK. Otherwise some missing SDKs can break compiliation of some packages.
  • I (Pau) got this weird error when executing clam-unrelated applications like gvim : "dyld: Symbol not found: __cg_jpeg_resync_to_restart" it is a bug explained here: http://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1131 In my case I had to remove /opt/local/lib from DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH. You can also add export DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/local/lib but it's not really necessary for CLAM
  • If you have problems with "scons configure" it might be that you are not using macports pkg-config. Check this 
  $ which pkg-config
  /opt/local/bin/pkg-config
  $ which uic
  /opt/local/bin/uic
  If you have non macport versions, change the PATH variable so that it starts with /opt/local/bin
  • If some library fails to configure inform the clam-devel list but you can try with a subset. For example I first compiled clam with this clam.conf : 
prefix = '/Users/parumi/clamSandboxes/local'
release = 1
double = 0
sandbox = 1
checks = 1
release_asserts = 0
with_ladspa = 1
with_osc = 0
with_jack = 1
with_fftw = 1
with_nr_fft = 1
with_sndfile = 1
with_oggvorbis = 1
with_mad = 1
with_id3 = 1
with_portaudio = 1
with_portmidi = 0
