Compiling libgig for Mac OS X with XCode
========================================

Requirements
------------

  The XCode project uses autotools build files. On Mac OS 10.4, you need
  to install pkg-config (available at http://pkgconfig.freedesktop.org/wiki/).
  
  If you are to build the CVS snapshot, then you need to do the following
  steps to make autotools work correctly:
  
  $ sudo ln -sf /usr/bin/glibtoolize /usr/local/bin/libtoolize
  $ sudo cat >/usr/local/bin/aclocal <<'EOF'
  #!/bin/sh
  /usr/bin/aclocal -I /usr/local/share/aclocal $@
  EOF
  $ sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/aclocal
  
Layout of the Directories
-------------------------

  The XCode project for libgig creates a temporary build directory as
  "$LIBGIG/../temp_build/$BUILD_STYLE" (where $LIBGIG is the libgig 
  directory, and $BUILD_STYLE is the build style defined in the XCode 
  project). In this directory, the following subdirectories are created 
  and used:
    $BASEGIG.build:
      Intermediate build directory. Symbolic links to the original 
      source files are placed and "configure && make" is performed in 
      this directory. ($BASEGIG is the basename of the libgig directory.)
    local:
      The products are "installed" in this directory. libgig.a is in
      local/lib, and gigdump, gigextract, dlsdump, rifftree are in
      local/bin.
  Such a layout allows you to build binaries of different architectures
  (and build options) independently. On the other hand, you will need to
  link libgig.a statically because you cannot expect other users to place
  libgig.a at the same path. The XCode project takes care of this by
  giving "--disable-shared" to configure.
  
  Also note that this temporary directory is outside the libgig directory
  and will be shared with the Xcode projects for other linuxsampler 
  subproducts. So it is best to create a common directory for all 
  linuxsampler subproducts and place the libgig directory (and the
  directories of other linuxsampler subproducts) in it.

Universal Binaries
------------------

  Universal Binaries are not automatically created by the XCode project.
  However, it is easy to create them by hands as follows:
  
  $ cd $LIBGIG   # Move to the libgig directory
  $ mkdir -p ../temp_build/UB/bin ../temp_build/UB/lib
  $ cd ../temp_build/Deployment_ppc
  $ for i in bin/* lib/*.a; do
    lipo -create $i ../Deployment_i386/$i -output ../UB/$i
    done

  The libgig project is dependent on libsndfile, but you may not 
  have a Universal Binary version of libsndfile. Don't worry, you 
  can still create UB of libgig products. Follow these steps:
  
  - Get the sources of libsndfile and extract in $LIBGIG/..
  - cd to $LIBGIG/../libsndfile-*
  - env BUILD_STYLE=Deployment_ppc \
    WITH_INSTALL=1 \
    CONFIG_OPTIONS="--disable-shared" \
    BUILD_BASE_DIR="$PWD/../temp_build" \
    SDKROOT="/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk" \
    /bin/sh $LIBGIG/osx/autoconf_builder.sh 
  - env BUILD_STYLE=Deployment_i386 \
    WITH_INSTALL=1 \
    CONFIG_OPTIONS="--disable-shared" \
    BUILD_BASE_DIR="$PWD/../temp_build" \
    SDKROOT="/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk" \
    /bin/sh $LIBGIG/osx/autoconf_builder.sh 

  After these steps, the i386 and ppc versions of libsndfile.a are
  created in $LIBGIG/../temp_build/Deployment_$ARCH/local/lib 
  ($ARCH is either i386 or ppc). Now you can double-click on 
  libgig.xcodeproj and build libgig with Deployment_i386 and 
  Deployment_ppc build styles. pkg-config will find the correct
  version of libsndfile.a in $LIBGIG/../temp_build/$BUILD_STYLES/
  local/lib.

Additional Information
----------------------

  The XCode project just invokes autoconf_builder.sh with after
  setting relevant environmental variables. If you are interested
  (or feel suspicious), please examine autoconf_builder.sh.
