Sound output on Mac OS X about mimic1

[zeehio]

I will send a patch in 5 hours with Mac OS X support via the PortAudio library. Would you be able to test it?

[siavasht]

I will be able to test the patch if you send it before midnight (CET)

[zeehio]

I was too late for you @siavasht. Will you be able to test it another day? 😅

Thanks!

[siavasht]

It might be in a couple of days but I will test again as soon as I can get my hands on a Macbook 😄

Hey, I tried this, the problem seems to persist. Is any extra command line arguement necessary?
Also the libasound2-dev is not installed on my mac. Is it necessary?

[forslund]

You'll need portaudio. If you can't get it from homebrew there arebuild instructions here. it should be be using the native sound system so libasound2-dev should not be needed.

If it still doesn't work can you see if you can provide the full path to portaudio.h?

[zeehio]

In order to force the use of the portaudio module, use:

./configure --with-audio=portaudio
make

You will need the portaudio library, that can be installed using brew:

Install brew:

/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

Install portaudio (requires brew):

brew install portaudio

Mac OS X now has audio support through PortAudio. The README.md has updated instructions on how to build it and install it. Merged in #14
