What I needed to do to build on MacOS #182

Closed SCdF closed 7 years ago

SCdF commented 7 years ago

You may not want to merge this, but this is what I did to get Orion building on the ol' Apple. This may be relevant to #180.

I'm not really familiar with make or anything like that. Not sure if there is a better way than hard-coding the mpv version, but it was originally like that so I just updated it for what is currently on brew.

I couldn't find a good way to get a package's Cellar dir from brew, only a bad one: use brew info --json and pipe it into a jq one liner, which of course requires installing that...

rakslice commented 7 years ago

I guess if I replaced jq with something included on the Mac, like a python one-liner, it wouldn't be too bad

SCdF commented 7 years ago

@rakslice would it be so bad to require jq? It's brewable, and you already need to install stuff via that method. I guess it's a bit gross because it's a build tool dependency as opposed to a code one.
