sigrok-gui on Mac OS X

This page describes how to build sigrok on Mac OS X.

Building

These instructions have been tested on a clean Mac OS X 10.6.8 install.

Requirements

Install MacPorts, follow the guide on macports.org (this step will require Xcode on your machine, which is also a dependency to build sigrok).

Install Qt, download qt-mac-opensource-4.7.4.dmg from qt.nokia.com (Only needed for sigrok-qt).

TODO: Install GTK+ libs and dependencies for sigrok-gtk.

Install git:

$ sudo port install git-core

This will also pull in a bunch of dependencies required by git-core (and some of them also by sigrok).

Install libusb, libzip and libftdi, the sigrok build dependencies:

$ sudo port install libusb
$ sudo port install libzip
$ sudo port install libftdi

Building libsigrok:

$ git clone git://sigrok.org/libsigrok
$ cd libsigrok
$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure --disable-link-mso19 --disable-alsa
$ make
$ sudo make install
$ cd ..

Building libsigrokdecode:

$ git clone git://sigrok.org/libsigrokdecode
$ cd libsigrokdecode
$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install
$ cd ..

Then you need to build the chosen user interfaces (cli, qt or gtk).

For building sigrok-cli (the command-line interface for sigrok):

$ git clone git://sigrok.org/sigrok-cli
$ cd sigrok-cli
$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install
$ cd ..

For building PulseView:

$ git clone git://sigrok.org/pulseview
$ cd pulseview
$ cmake .
$ make
$ sudo make install
$ cd ..

For building sigrok-gtk (Note: The GTK+ GUI is not yet usable!):

$ git clone git://sigrok.org/sigrok-gtk
$ cd sigrok-gtk
$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install
$ cd ..

For building sigrok-qt (Note: The Qt GUI is not yet usable!):

$ git clone git://sigrok.org/sigrok-qt
$ cd sigrok-qt
$ PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig qmake -spec macx-g++
$ make
$ sudo make install
$ cd ..

If you get warnings claiming potential symbol conflicts when running qmake, you are likely not invoking qmake-qt4. Try running qmake-qt4 to force the correct version.

Open the sigrok-gui application just built:

$ open -a sigrok-gui.app
