Do you think you could be able to keep the Mac port working as new versions are released? It would be pity to see a situation like with the Windows port, latest build being version 0.9.6 from 2007. Do you possibly want to develop audio interfacing for Mac too? There would be two separate projects: an output module for playing sound from PA and a virtual sound card driver for redirecting sound from any program to PA. > Well I'm having a look but am unfortunately stumped at step one. > I git clone'd PA. > I didn't bother trying to sort out dependencies yet - just wanted to > get a compile started > I'm using macports and did instalautoconf 2.63, intltool, gettext The errors you are getting mean that you have too old automake. Version 1.11 is required. (The following is written as if you were using Linux - I don't know if the following is valid advice for Macs.) If you have to install automake from source and you choose /usr/local/ as the installation prefix, at least I ran into the problem that aclocal searches .m4 files from /usr/local/share/aclocal, while some (most?) of the needed .m4 files are located at /usr/share/aclocal. I worked around the problem by copying everything from /usr/share/aclocal to /usr/local/share/aclocal. That's of course a very dirty workaround. If someone knows how to tell aclocal to use both directories, I'd be interested. aclocal accepts the -I parameter, but I don't know where that should be specified in the build/configure scripts. Hopefully this helps at least a little. -- Tanu Kaskinen
