Difficulty installing and compliling dada engine on OSX

just cloned this repo on OSX (version info

sw_vers  # to check OS version: givesProductName:    Mac OS XProductVersion: 10.10.5BuildVersion:   14F1713

The following worked for me:

git clone https://github.com/..../Dada-Engine.git dada  # use proper repo addresscd dada  # change into dir./configure  # configuremake  # compilesudo make install # install

Hth.

I will recommend having a look at this git commit showing amendments made by Steve Smith on Github to the following files

+5,428 −1,213 configure+2 −2  configure.in+4 −1  src/dump.c+4 −1  src/pb.c+4 −0  src/resstack.c+4 −1  src/rtn.c+4 −0  src/strfunc.c+9 −3  src/variables.c

which fixed platform-specific problems with macOS (the original source is written to run smoothly on most UNIX-like systems).

Looks like you need to do some type-casting for strings, set the right cpp location, #include additional libraries, etc, for it to work properly on macOS.

Re-made-and-built and tested on my MacOS 10.14.3 and it is working beautifully as contrary to not dumping any text out to my stdout after running dada dada-1.03/scripts/pomo.pb previously.

Follow the install instruction from schluppeck (./configure && make && make install), but use the repo https://github.com/essandess/Dada-Engine/ and it works great!
