Subject: [yaac-users] Direwolf M1 Mac

Has anyone gotten direwolf working on a mac running Sequoia 15.1. I am having no luck with portaudio not compiling without errors. Running direwolf would help!

"compiler errors" isn't very descriptive. Can you provide the actual text of the error messages? Also, are they really errors, or only warnings? It's impossible to write platform-portable C++ code without getting some warnings, given how strict the compiler is.

Also, if you are having pulseaudio-related errors, did you install pulseaudio (can't imagine why you would on a Mac) and its related development package (include header files and the like)? Have you read the Mac-specific documentation in the direwolf source distro?

Andrew,

I did and nothing good to help. I'm having compiler errors and I thought I would ask.

Hi Tim,?

Use the Direwolf author's directions before you jump on some random person's notes (which may be out-of-date, like the APRS webpages that still say to use RELAY and WIDE as digipeat aliases [directions that have been obsolete for 20 years]).

Andrew,

Thinking about this in greater detail I may not need an audio codec. I am using a digirig and It has the codec so I am off to install Dierwolf. I was following because I am much better at compiling and installing software on linux than the Mac.

I am thinking of moving from my Raspberry Pi to a Mac for the bike event this fall, and testing on the Mac mini would prove it would work.

Thank you for your help.

Hi Tim,

Good point this install of Direwolf did not work on an M1 Mac. it was built for an x86. Looks like I am back to scratch.

It’s worth installing it via MacPorts or Homebrew rather than trying to grab all the dependencies yourself. Since you have xcode installed, MacPorts or Homebrew is simple to install.

I think I have homebrew installed. How would I know?

In a terminal window, type:

brew --version

If that works and returns a current version, then you should be able to install direwolf with:

sudo brew install direwolf


(caveat here, I use MacPorts not HomeBrew so not 100% familiar wth it)
