Let's get Hydrogen to work on Mac OS X 10.3.5

[edit] Getting a working QT installation

[edit] Getting it

[edit] Installing it

Edit ~/.profile

File: ~/.profile 
QTDIR=/Developer/qt
PATH=$QTDIR/bin:$PATH
MANPATH=$QTDIR/man:$MANPATH
DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=$QTDIR/lib:$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH

export QTDIR PATH MANPATH DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH

cd /Developer
gnutar xzf qt-mac-3.3.3.tar.bz2
mv qt-3.3.3-mac qt
source ~/.profile
cd $QTDIR
./configure -thread -qt-gif
make
  • NOTE: Use the -qt-gif option only if you want gif support

Go out and have lunch with a friend, or pleasure yourself some other way (be creative) QT takes a long time to compile on my iBook G4 1ghz with 384 megs of ram.

[edit] Installing FLAC

This process will not build FLAC on all machines. There is a problem, possibly with some Fortran libraries. Hopefuylly more information will be added by people wiser than I on this topic to help those who cannot compile FLAC using Gentoo OSX.

[edit] Now we need to compile and install Hydrogen

[edit] Getting it 

 (Alternatively, you can download the CVS tarball as well.)
  • extract it and set your favorite console app (i use iTerm) to the hydrogen directory, compile

[edit] Installing it 

cd ~/Desktop/hydrogen-0.9.0
./configure --disable-oss-support
make
  • If you would like to compile Hydrogen to use JackOSX you can use this string when compiling. 
PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH" sudo ./configure --disable-oss-support
make
sudo make install

Now link in your /bin directory using: 

sudo ln -s /direcorty/where/hydrogen/installed /bin/hydrogen

[edit] Notes

If hydrogen is configured without jack support, you will get output like this after configure.

Code: jack's configure 
-----------------------------------------------------------------
 Hydrogen 0.9.0 configuration:
-----------------------------------------------------------------

        Source code location:   .
        Prefix                  /usr/local
        Images path             /usr/local/share/hydrogen
        Use ALSA Sequencer:     no
        Debug messages:         no
        Jack support:           no
        OSS support:            no

        Features list =  (FLAC) (OSS)

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Now type make to build Hydrogen.
-----------------------------------------------------------------

make failed when building oss support You must disable with ./configure --disable-oss-support

Make process goes fine until libtool at then end, then this error appears: 

ExportSongDialog.moc.o  ../lib/libhydrogen.a ../lib/xml/libtinyxml.a ../lib/drivers/libdrivers.a ../lib/fx/libfx.a ../lib/smf/libsmf.a  -lqt-mt -lpng -lz -lm -ljpeg -lXext -lX11  -lSM -lICE -lpthread  -lpthread
mkdir .libs
libtool: link: cannot find the library `'
make[3]: *** [hydrogen] Error 1
