But you could build the Mac version from source yourself:

Cool, thanks for the link

I'm not sure I'm capable of building it myself though as I'm not a programmer. But I'm tempted to try to follow the instructions in your link anyway.

Here's what I've tried so far;



My first attempt was with this older version of git that seemed to be pre installed.

git --version
git version 1.9.5 (Apple Git-50.3)

Then I did this as per the instructions in the link

git clone --recursive https://github.com/reaper-oss/sws

Which created a SWS directory. And then:

cd sws

Then did step two from my portable Reaper install, saved the file to the vendor directory in SWS repository as per instructions

Then # Step 2: Generate reaper_plugin_functions.h
# - Run the REAPER action "[developer] Write C++ API functions header".
# - Save the file inside of the vendor directory.

I didn't have cmake installed as the terminal didnt recognize the command "cmake"

So I tried installing via homebrew but got this:

brew install cmake

==> Installing cmake dependency: gdbm
Error: An exception occurred within a child process:
NoMethodError: undefined method `source' for nil:NilClass

So installing via homebrew didn't work.

So then I installed cmake gui version from cmake.org

Then I tried installing the cmake command line tools with

$ sudo "/Applications/CMake.app/Contents/bin/cmake-gui" --install
Password:

Linked: '/usr/local/bin/ctest' -> '/Applications/CMake.app/Contents/bin/ctest'

Linked: '/usr/local/bin/cmake-gui' -> '/Applications/CMake.app/Contents/bin/cmake-gui'
Linked: '/usr/local/bin/ccmake' -> '/Applications/CMake.app/Contents/bin/ccmake'

After that cmake seemed to be installed, so I did step #3 in the intructions

$ cmake -B build -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug

So there was some failure messages but a build was created.

I then tried doing step #4 while in the SWS folder

$ cmake --build build
Scanning dependencies of target z
[ 1%] Building C object CMakeFiles/z.dir/vendor/WDL/WDL/zlib/adler32.c.o
clang: error: unknown argument: '-fstack-protector-strong'

make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/z.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2

That didn't work so I thought maybe I should update git to the latest version and start over again..

So I went to https://git-scm.com/download/mac

and got the latest version for mavericks which was v2.23.0

after installing the pkg I still get

git --version
git version 1.9.5 (Apple Git-50.3)

So now I'm a bit stuck... What am I doing wrong here? Is my git version to old or am I doing something else wrong?

And sorry for the long post!
