h1. Developing PortAudio on Mac

Create an XCode Command Line project.

Add Mac OS Frameworks

click on the project

click on "Build Phases"

click on "Link Binary with Libraries"

click on "+" then add

** AudioToolbox.framework ** AudioUnit.framework ** Carbon.framework ** CoreAudio.framework ** CoreServices.framework

Add PortAudio Source Code

right click on the project

select "Add files to {your project}"

navigate to the "portaudio/src/common" folder and "Add" it

repeat for "portaudio/src/hostapis/coreaudio"

repeat for "portaudio/src/os/unix"

repeat for "portaudio/includes"

You will need to delete the reference to "coreaudio/pa_mac_core_old.c" because it has some duplicate symbol names.

Now use the same procedure to add an example program, eg. "portaudio/examples/paex_sine.c".

If you tried to build and run that program now you would probably get an error like: "Error: No default output device."

So we need to define some preprocessor variables:

click on project

click on "Build Settings"

scroll down to "Apple LLVM # Preprocessing"

Add PA_USE_COREAUDIO=1 to both the Debug and Release Preprocessor Macros
