building darktable on MacOS

anon41087856 · June 25, 2020, 4:48pm

Hi,

I have an user who would like to build darktable master on Mac OS but doesn’t find a comprehensive list of commands and operations to do so. I have never used Mac OS myself so I’m of little help.

I know @MStraeten builds on Win/Mac fluently, would you mind posting a short guide to get him started ? Thanks !

paperdigits · June 25, 2020, 4:54pm

There is a guide in the source code that was updated semi recently.

MStraeten · June 25, 2020, 5:11pm

darktable/BUILD.txt at master · darktable-org/darktable · GitHub can be used as a step by step instruction

anon41087856 · June 25, 2020, 6:42pm

Thanks ! Forwarding…

rgo · June 25, 2020, 7:32pm

I did a brew formula some time ago. I’ll look for it and share with you here.

Probably need to be updated.

rgo · June 25, 2020, 10:09pm

I’ve it in that repository: GitHub - rgo/homebrew-core at darktable-2.2.4

If your friend is not in a hurry, I’ll update it for current darktable and update the documentation with the usage of this formula during the weekend.

@LebedevRI and I tried to include darktable in homebrew but it didn’t “fit” (https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/pull/13407).

Good night
I’ll keep you informed

anon41087856 · June 25, 2020, 10:20pm

Thanks ! It will be useful in general to have a full manual/procedure to build for power-users-who-are-still-not-devs.

rgo · June 27, 2020, 6:37pm

I’ve been working on it a little. First try…

(A lot of noise because debug and verbose is enabled)

Now I’ve to go out, I hope to finish it this night. I’ll tell you

Updated: It failed. I’m checking the logs.

@LebedevRI @MStraeten Hi, calling for a little help.

I have been updating an old brew formula (for version 2.2.4) but I’ve a problem making osx.mm files:

Could it be that it’s trying compile it with the system compiler instead of use brew’s compiler (or vice-versa) or something like that?

Thanks

MStraeten · June 28, 2020, 6:27am

I didnt use homebrew to build darktable so i doubt i can give any qualified help … and even worse: i’m lost in space if the build environment is not bulletproof
I’m using the instructions valid for macports - i just followed the steps and it worked fine for me.
Btw: The macports way uses the apple system compiler

rgo · June 28, 2020, 1:45pm

Btw: The macports way uses the apple system compiler

That’s a good hint, I’ll review it.
Thanks!

rgo · June 28, 2020, 7:26pm

I have a version that compiles relase 3.0.2

I’m going to add head right now and tomorrow or later I’ll document how to user it (a.k.a. 0compile a different branch or commit).

The conflictive line can be found here: darktable/parser.pm at master · darktable-org/darktable · GitHub
(not changed recently).

Have you got any clue to fix it?

Thanks

PS: Sorry for asking here and IRC but I had to disconnect.

dterrahe · June 29, 2020, 6:10pm

houz is the perl master, but I’m not seeing issues like this.

Are you up-to-date with perl (and libraries)? v5.30.3 runs the code fine here.

rgo · June 29, 2020, 6:18pm

I have installed perl 5, version 18, subversion 4 (v5.18.4).
Checking perl.org is from… 2014!!! - Perl 5.18.4 Release Announcement - dev.perl.org

This night, I’ll add (up to date)perl as dependency too.

Thanks!

Update: I couldn’t resist and I’m trying it

rgo · June 29, 2020, 6:33pm

It worked, yeahhh!!

rgo · June 29, 2020, 6:47pm

@anon41087856 I think it’s ready to be tested.

You can find it here: GitHub - rgo/homebrew-darktable: Darktable formula to have a manual/procedure to build it for power-users-who-are-still-not-devs.

Now, it’s possible to deploy latest commit (head) or 3.0.2 easily.

I’ll document how to specify branches and commits by hand(FAQ — Homebrew Documentation), and later I’ll try to make it with arguments if it worth the effort.

Bye!

MStraeten · June 29, 2020, 7:09pm

Maybe you can also add gmic as a dependency so the 3dlut module can use the gmic luts

rgo · June 29, 2020, 10:21pm

Thanks, great idea. I’ll add it when I achieve to load some nef files (it’s crashing).

I’m afraid I’ve to review all the macports build process…

rgo · June 29, 2020, 11:39pm

It seems to work with master (I tested open raw files and apply LUTs).
Time to sleep.
