How to build Gem on MacOSX Mavericks
This document describe how to build Gem on Mac OS X Maverick.
You need to download Xcode Command Line tools. It comes with Xcode but if you don't want to install full Xcode developpement package, you can run in a terminal : xcode-select --install and then click Install rather than Get Xcode.
You also need the GNU tool gettext.
You can install it from several package managers, but it doesn't seem to work with brew when I am wrinting this.
So I built it from sources.
Get the source here : https://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/
And follow the README instruction to build it.
gettextis needed by automake tools. If it's not installed, it tries to make the job without it but in my case it failed, so I installed it.
You need a recent version of pure-data.
The latest one can be found on http://puredata.info/downlaods
Note that there are 32-bit and 64-bit version of pure-data. But 64-bit Pd-extended is not well supported for now. So maybe 32-bit is a good choice at first.
git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/pd-gem/gem
Gem has a plugin system wich adds lot's of functionalities depending on installed libraries.
brew install imagemagick ftgl and this also install Freetype
Mac OS X comes with GLU and OpenGL but it seems to be mandatory to install GLEW instead ./configure fails :
brew install glew glut
If you clone the git repository, you have to build the building tool yourself from the root of the cloned directory :
./autogen.sh
Then configure the building chain with :
./configure --enable-fat-binary=i386
I use the --enable-fat-binary=i386 flag to force 32 bit binary.
then build with :
make CPPFLAGS=`pkg-config --cflags freetype2`
CPPFLASG=\pkg-config --cflags freetyp2`is needed becauseconfigurescript doesn't addfreetype` headers to include paths.
