Trying to compile on OS X 10.9

[seanleblanc]

Hello, I'm trying to compile this on OS X 10.9

I cloned the git repo and then ran autoconf to get a configure script. Running that, I found I still hadn't installed gls and ode and did so with brew install gsl and brew install ode.

Then, I had many errors similar to the following:

1 error generated.
Generating dependencies for simulation/worldObject.cc
In file included from simulation/worldObject.cc:2:
In file included from include/breve/worldObject.h:5:
In file included from include/breve/shape.h:25:
In file included from /usr/local/include/ode/ode.h:30:
/usr/local/include/ode/common.h:59:2: error: You can only #define dSINGLE or dDOUBLE, not both.

error You can only #define dSINGLE or dDOUBLE, not both.

Just as an experiment, since I see it's trying to set -DdDOUBLE on commandline, instead of #error, I #undef SINGLE.

Now, it complains about QT:

c++ -I.. -c -o QTInstrumentFunctions.o QTInstrumentFunctions.cc
QTInstrumentFunctions.cc:29:2: error: unknown type name 'NoteAllocator'; did you mean '__CFAllocator'?

I guess I should ask - is compiling under 10.9 expected to work? I see there are commits related to making it work, so thought I'd try. The current screensaver binary on the website won't run for me, so was having a go a compiling it myself.

Cheers,
Sean

Those errors are from running the (now obsolete) plugins, one of which requires an ancient version of QuickTime. I think that should probably just be removed from the makefile .
