Here are my annotated notes on setting up OSX to contribute to the Westlicht performer sequencer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1st step is cloning the github repository:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
mkdir performer-sequencer\ncd performer-sequencer\ngit clone --recursive https:\/\/github.com\/westlicht\/performer.git<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nI don’t recall if git is pre-installed on modern macs. If not you’ll need to install git as well. One item which is not installed is is cmake. Realizing I needed cmake and possibly other items is what prompted me to create this post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I already had homebrew installed, so tried :<\/p>\n\n\n\n
brew upgrade cmake\nbrew install sdl2\nbrew install libusb # perhaps not needed\nbrew install libusb-compat<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nwhich, after updating brew, worked (we’ll need sdl2 and libusb later on)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A first attempt at compiling is done with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
cd performer\nmake tools_install<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nNote that this step appears to install the arm compiler tools. I wish I would have skipped this and saw if things worked without them. Eventually I’ll need them but in case I do not move forward on this I’d prefer to not have the tools installed on my computer – especially as they are not under package management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My install failed anyway with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
configure: error: libusb-1.x is required for the MPSSE mode of FTDI based devices\nmake[1]: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.\nmake[1]: Nothing to be done for `install'.<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nso moving on…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
make setup_stm32<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nsets up the build dirs according to the developers readme. Ran without fail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Next up is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
make setup_sim<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nMy first results i below. However as a note I performed a parallel install and had a different error:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
libopencm3 submodule not found!<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nwhich was fixed with :<\/p>\n\n\n\n
git submodule update --init --recursive<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nThe first time I tried, it exited with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

cd build\/stm32\/release\nmake -j<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nwhich, surprisingly worked :<\/p>\n\n\n\n
