Build on MacOS?

[rd0fun]

I've tried the class-reorganization branch and was unable to get it to build properly.

Is there something specific required to launch the make?

What OS are you trying to build it on and what error(s) are you getting?

[rd0fun]

I am using MacOS Catalina 10.15.7

I am trying to build with the "class-reorganization" release.

Maybe some simple instructions could help me?

thank you

Makefile:8: .env: No such file or directory sed: .env: No such file or directory make: *** No rule to make target `.env'. Stop.

Sorry for the delay.

I would recommend against using that branch. I started rebuilding the entire user interface in that branch and was never able to completely finish due to issues with the Tkinter library. I have future plans for rebuilding the interface again using a different framework, but haven't started on it yet.

In the mean time, try using the master branch.

• First, make sure you have Pillow installed: python3 -m pip install Pillow
• Then run the script: python3 hdfm.py <insert frequency here>

I just fixed something in master that was causing issues, so make sure you pull the latest commit. Let me know if it works or if you have any issues.

Thanks for the reply! Just tried latest master... got this error. Still not working.

Guessing this is an issue with Python 3.8... Try installing the latest version of Python 3.7 and see if that works. That's what I'm testing it with and I didn't run into that issue.

[rd0fun]

Still no joy!

$ python -V

Python 3.7.9

$ ./hdfm.py 99.5

Oh I forgot, you have to install Python from https://python.org in order to get Tkinter (used for the GUI) included. Other install methods don't include this library.

Install Python 3.7 from this link: https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.7.8/python-3.7.8-macosx10.9.pkg. The new Python 3.7 executable should be at /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/bin/python3.

Also, when running the script with multiple Python versions installed, you'll probably need to explicitly call the interpreter with /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/bin/python3 hdfm.py <frequency> to make sure it uses the right binary.

Thanks for all the tips. I finally got it working!

1) Installed 3.7.9 from Pythin.org for Mac (that includes tk as you said) 2) ran the shell file 'Update Shell Profile.command' found in the '/Applications/Python 3.7' directory 3) ran 'pip3 install Pillow' 4) ran './hdfm.py -l -c 2 102.1' 5) Celebrated!

That's great! Let me know if you run into any issues.
