Full Version: Downloading LAME 3.97b2 for OS X
This might be a dumb question, but what do I do to use 3.97b2 on OS X? I've been using the iTunes-LAME plugin with 3.97b1, which I downloaded from Rarewares.org under the "For Mac OS X" heading. But I don't see anything similar for the newest beta. Everything seems to be an .exe. Can I compile it myself somehow?
I plan to upload a build of 3.97b2 for MacOS to RareWares as soon as the Sourceforge Compile Farm machines start working again. Or as soon as some nice mac dude gives me a MacOS account where I can compile stuff for RW 
maybe if you ask kuniklo nice enough...
Any news on this? I haven't been able to find 3.97b2 for OSX.
Cheers.

Just compile it yourself then, the developer tools come free with Mac OS X. The source download is available from SourceForge, and some simple instructions are available on the Blacktree forums or around HA.

That's right. As a hint, try this:
QUOTE
After downloading, just decompress the archive, open the resulting directory in the terminal, typing cd+ space then dragging the the above mentioned archive folder
then pressing return, and use the following commands to build and install it:
All computer
./configure --enable-static --disable-shared;sudo make install
Or optimized for G4
./configure --enable-static --disable-shared CFLAGS="-mcpu=7450 -O2 -mtune=7450 -pipe -maltivec -mabi=altivec -faltivec -mpowerpc-gfxopt" CXXFLAGS="-mcpu=7450 -O2 -mtune=7450 -pipe -maltivec -mabi=altivec -faltivec -mpowerpc-gfxopt";make;sudo make install
You will need to type your password for the last command. If all goes well, you should have a working version of LAME installed

I've compiled two or so recent versions on a G4 lappy successfully, using 3.97b2 for some time now. My first Version of LAME had been installed using the Blacktree Installer and later versions were compiled and installed via Terminal.
I have uploaded a lame 3.97b2 for Mac OS X build here: http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index....showtopic=40782
