Whenever I install something new, I try to remember to log it here, noting any headbutts and associated fixes:

 $$

port install i386-mingw32* [to try compiling VST plugins] $\Rightarrow$

  i386-mingw32-binutils @2.19.1_0 (active)

  i386-mingw32-libunicows @1.1.1_0 (active)

Unfortunately there is a bug that prevents Faust compilations using sinf and powf. This was fixed by installing later mingw32 binaries.

 $$

Download and unpack faust2pd from http://pure-lang.googlecode.com/files/faust2pd-2.3.tar.gz

make

make install ;; oops: ``dyld: Library not loaded: xml.dylib''

The problem is that faust2pd is looking for pure libraries under /usr/local, but they are installed instead under /opt/local (as are all MacPorts installs). Therefore, we need an environment variable providing the dynamic library search path:

• In my .tcshrc file:
  setenv DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH /opt/local/lib/pure
• In your .bashrc file, if you use bash (as most people do):
  DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/local/lib/pure
  export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH

Failure on netpbm of port upgrade outdated

port uninstall xfig [dependent]

port uninstall transfig [dependent]

port uninstall netpbm [losing package]

port upgrade outdated [ok, now it completes]

port install xfig [and deleted dependencies] - FAILS! Awaiting MacPorts bugfix...

Install SuperCollider.app et al.

Follow a subset of the directions for hooking up emacs to SC on OS-X at
http://sam.aaron.name/2010/02/09/hooking-supercollider-up-to-emacs-on-os-x.html
Instead of copies I used symbolic links, and I didn't do the defaults write (yet). At the moment, GUIs depending on SwingOSC do not yet work.
See also http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.audio.supercollider.user/73920

port install emacs-w3m [Needed for w3m GUIs in SC; Unfortunately installs emacs as well]

Edit /etc/man.conf to include MANPATH /opt/local/man and MANPATH /usr/local/man

Copy <linux_machine>:/usr/share/SuperCollider/Extensions to ~/Library/Application Support/SuperCollider/Extensions/ -- This brought over AmbIEM BBCut2 dewdrop_lib Help MathLib SC3plugins scide_scel SwingOSC

mkdir /usr/share/SuperCollider/ and
copy <linux_machine>:/usr/share/SuperCollider/SwingOsc to /usr/share/SuperCollider/
Now in Emacs on the Mac I can say SwingOSC.default.boot; Help.gui; Object.browse;
and I don't seem to need SuperCollider.app any more. Ya gotta love platform-independent code!

Flux.app alters screen brightness and color based on time of day. However, it has problems with flickering.
