Rack: libportaudio fails compilation with XCode 9

[mhetrick]

OS (if applicable): macOS 10.12.6
Version (or "dev" if compiling from source): dev

Dependencies are almost compiling on my machine. XCode 9 comes with the 10.13 SDK now, so libportaudio is failing with a missing SDK error:

checking size of short... 2
checking size of int... 4
checking size of long... 8
checking for clock_gettime in -lrt... no
checking for clock_gettime... yes
checking for nanosleep... yes
configure: error: Could not find 10.5 to 10.12 SDK.
make: * [lib/libportaudio.dylib] Error 64

[AndrewBelt]

I'll have to complain upstream in the portaudio project.

[mhetrick]

Yeah, I went over to the binary page to update my local makefile with something newer... last release was 2016. I'll see if I can find a faster workaround in the meantime, like symlinking my Homebrew binaries to the dependency folder.

[mhetrick]

As a heads-up to anyone else facing this problem, simply dropping the 10.12 SDK from https://github.com/phracker/MacOSX-SDKs into the correct XCode folder fixed this. It is a good workaround until it is fixed on portaudio's end. I didn't need to modify the plist or makefile after copying the SDK.

Ran into this problem today. As a temporary workaround, the following worked for me in order to compile against the latest SDK:

1. run make dep, this downloads the portaudio tarball and extracts it.
2. edit dep/Makefile and comment out these lines to avoid overwriting the changes you'll make to the portaudio build config:

#$(WGET) http://www.portaudio.com/archives/pa_stable_v190600_20161030.tgz
#$(UNTAR) pa_stable_v190600_20161030.tgz

1. edit dep/portaudio/configure.in and add the following lines at line 261:

elif xcodebuild -version -sdk macosx10.13 Path >/dev/null 2>&1 ; then  
    mac_version_min="-mmacosx-version-min=10.5"  
    mac_sysroot="-isysroot `xcodebuild -version -sdk macosx10.13 Path`"

1. in dep/portaudio, run autoreconf -if && ./configure, that should generate the makefile with the correct SDK
2. run make dep again from the rack root directory

Running into this error too. I wanted to understand something about this project and try to contribute, but I can't make deps :(

[AndrewBelt]

Can you guys successfully compile the nightly at http://portaudio.com/archives/pa_snapshot.tgz ?

[antoscarface]

@AndrewBelt nope, configure: error: Could not find 10.5 to 10.12 SDK.

[AndrewBelt]

Okay, thanks. I'll send an email to their mailing list. Hopefully someone will bump the version in their build system up to 10.13, if no changes to the MacOS 10.13 SDK break compilation.

[ghost]

may be you can try './configure --disable-mac-universal && make'

[tat-m3dicine]

bump this issue, any updates?

[AndrewBelt]

portaudio is no longer used, so this issue is obsolete.

[chanduthedev]

may be you can try './configure --disable-mac-universal && make'

Thanks, it worked for me.

[xorover]

may be you can try './configure --disable-mac-universal && make'

Thanks.

[nw2s]

may be you can try './configure --disable-mac-universal && make'

It may not be used any more but this is the first page that comes up when you try to build portaudio and google the error. This solution is the least intrusive that I see and worked here.
