Solfege /
MacOSXThere are two main approaches to installing Solfege on Mac OS X. Both require X11 and Xcode (aka Developer Tools). 1. Use Fink or MacPorts. These are two different programs that each make it easy to install and update lots of open source software. Solfege on MacPorts is current (version 3.14.9) as of 18 November 2009. Solfege on Fink is now also current (version 3.14.10, as of January 2009), and ready to upgrade to 3.15.5 if fink users prefer the unstable version. To install solfege, users must enable the "Unstable" branch of fink, by adding the following line in /sw/etc/apt/sources.list: deb file:/sw/fink unstable main crypto 2. Compile Solfege yourself. This way, you can always get the newest version of Solfege, and you have more control over the installation process. The big drawback is that you have to install all the dependencies yourself. Unless you've compiled a lot of open source software before, this will probably be difficult and take a long time. There is also an older approach, by Stephane. For most people, this method is probably obsolete. |
