Build

Start XCode and open the olaoutput/olaoutput/olaoutput.xcodeproj file. You should see something like the screenshot below.

Note that XCode can't find commonsyms.c or libprotobuf.8.dylib. Click on commonsyms.c on the left, then in the right panel click on the folder icon and navigate to c74support/max-includes/common/commonsyms.c .

For libprotobuf.8.dylib, it's a similar story, click on the folder icon and then select /opt/local/lib/libprotobuf.9.dylib. If you didn't use MacPorts to install OLA, the protobuf library may be in a different location.
