Hello I am a VJ that is very inexperienced in coding but would like to use Cyril to experiment with live coding in my sets. For the last few weeks I have been trying to get the code running in Xcode without success.

Could anyone give a rundown on how to build Cyril off the source code in order to make it run through syphon? I have downloaded the latest version of openFrameworks and the addons in the readme, added everything to the corresponding folders (Cyril to app/MyApps; addons to /addons) and started up through the projectGenerator. What am I missing?

Thanks in advance and sorry for the potentially very dumb question

Hey,

The last time I did any work on this was back when oF was at version 0.8.4. I've not managed to get a new build working in quite some time.

I just had a go with the latest oF and xcode, and I'm getting a whole load of errors. First were errors relating to 32 bit builds no longer being supported. I managed to get past that, and solve some of the other errors, but now I'm getting errors from xcode that make no sense at all. It's complaining about ofxPostProcessing, but the errors it's showing are in files that are not related to that addon.

So not a dumb question, as I can't get it to work either. If you can go back in time and build with an earlier xcode and earlier version of oF you might have some luck?

Other than that, I expect some work updating things to build cleanly in the new oF.

I also failed to get it compiling in recent memory, but here's a link to download a version that has syphon working and nothing else janky added (I use a lot of weird intentionally broken versions, but this is about as vanilla as I've got). It should do for experimenting with. This one's been used on stage a bunch of times, it's pretty stable and battle-tested etc. enjoy. :)

Thanks @danhett! Can I add that as a release on GitHub?

Thanks Dan! Thats exactly what I wanted.
I set my mac back to high sierra and tried compiling with xcode 7 and oF 0.8.4 but still ran into (what I think are) compatibility issues. I'll try xcode 6 on sierra tonight and let you know how it went :)
