-------------------------------------------------- |
------------------ |
|
|
|
|
The compilation on OSX currently uses an XCode project. |
|
|
|
|
|
- Download and install the JackOSX package (www.jackosx.com) |
|
|
|
|
|
- In the "osx" folder, possibly manually edit the version.h to change the version number |
|
|
|
|
|
- In the XCode project, build the "LinuxSampler" target |
|

|
Please read osx/README.osx for detailed instructions about how to |
101 |
|
compile the sampler for Mac OSX. |
