There are at least 4 ways to install OLA on a mac, which one you choose depends on your system, the level of control and speed of updates you prefer.  Avoid mixing the methods as odd behavior can result.
 
 
; Use Mac Ports
 
: This is a good middle-of-the-road option. It gives you some control over how OLA is configured as well as relatively frequent updates. It should support all platforms and OS X versions.
 
 
 
; Install from tarball
 
: This is similar to using mac ports but you get a bit more control. You can also access programs that aren't installed normally like the RDM testing code.
 
 
 
; Install from the git repo
 
: This is the bleeding edge and recommended for power users and developers. May break at any time.
 
 
 
 
 
== Install With Mac Ports ==
 
 
 
This can take a while as you need to download & install Xcode as well as all the OLA dependancies.
 
 
 
* 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.
 
* Install [http://www.macports.org/ MacPorts]
 
* Install OLA and all the dependancies by running
 
 
 
$ sudo port install ola
 
 
 
== Install from tarball or git repo ==
 
 
 
 
 
* 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.
 
* Install [http://www.macports.org/ MacPorts], we use this to install all the OLA dependancies.
 
 
 
=== Use MacPorts to install dependencies ===
 
 
 
$  sudo port install pkgconfig cppunit protobuf-cpp unittest-cpp libmicrohttpd libusb
 
 
 
If you intend to use git install it now
 
 
 
  $ sudo port install git
 
 
 
=== Set some environment variables ===
 
 
 
set $PATH to point to something sane:
 
 
 
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/python2.6/site-packages/:/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/site-packages
 
 
 
You may need to tweak the PYTHONPATH depending on where protobuf-python was installed
 
 
 
=== Checkout OLA or Download the tarball ===
 
 
 
  git clone https://code.google.com/p/linux-lighting/ ola
 
  cd ola
 
 
 
or
 
 
 
  wget $ola_url
 
  tar -zxf $ola_file
 
  cd lla
 
 
 
=== Run autoreconf===
 
 
 
If this is the first time run with -i to install the missing files
 
 
 
autoreconf -i
 
 
 
=== Do the usual steps===
 
 
 
./configure
 
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 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 use the following to configure:
 
 
 
  CPPFLAGS="-arch i386"  LDFLAGS=" -arch i386" ./configure
 
 
 
Then, build using:
 
 
 
  make CPPFLAGS="-arch i386"  LDFLAGS="-arch i386"
 
 
 
Note you'll need to do the same when you run make check:
 
 
 
  make CPPFLAGS="-arch i386"  LDFLAGS="-arch i386" 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
