Mac OS X Lion support
by Spencer Salazar 19 Aug '11

19 Aug '11

Hello, As many have already noticed, the current release version of ChucK does not run in real-time audio mode on Mac OS X Lion. Until now! In advance of a formal release, we are providing builds of the current SVN source for anyone who is having trouble getting ChucK to run on Lion. ChucK (Mac OS X Universal command line executable): https://ccrma.stanford.edu/~spencer/chuck/chuck-1.2.1.4-beta-1.tgz miniAudicle (Mac OS X Universal binary): https://ccrma.stanford.edu/~spencer/chuck/miniAudicle-0.2.1-beta-1.tgz Lion users, please let us know if you continue to have difficulties with real-time audio with these builds. Updating ChucK to use the latest version of RtAudio fixed a host of Lion issues; a minor bugfix in RtAudio resolved the remaining issue. There are a lot of other cool things coming too when the new version of ChucK is released. Special thanks to Gary Scavone for making peace between Mac OS X Lion and RtAudio. Peace! spencer + chuck team

i went into terminal and did exactly what you said. when i entered "%>chuck" in the terminal it didnt give me the "[chuck]: no input files... (try –help)" message on the terminal screen like it says it should in the chuck manual. does this mean it didnt install correctly? i included a pic of the terminal windo as well. i dont know how to tell if its installed or not. thanks so much for your help.

Oops, I see that you did navigate to your downloads folder correctly. Just to be sure, you didn't type "%>chuck" did you? The "%>" is meant to represent the computer's line prompt. All YOU have to type is: chuck and hit enter. Now do you get the whole "no input files" thing?

Does the miniAudicle work for you? Because that's the most straightforward way to use ChucK. Certainly if you're mainly interested in programming for the Monome, the miniAudicle is the best environment. The installation of the command-line version is generally only necessary for special cases. If you're really intent on using the command line version, I suspect that it's navigating to the chuck folder in the terminal that's tripping you up. Where is your chuck-1.2.1.3-exe folder? If it's on your desktop, then you'll need to type: cd ~/Desktop/chuck-1.2.1.3-exe/bin (likewise, if it's in your Downloads folder, replace Desktop above with Downloads) then: sudo cp chuck /usr/local/bin (Just to echo Hans' comment, you don't need that line about 'sudo chmod 755...')

need help installing chuck

ive been interested to try out chuck as a programming language for my monome, but i seem to be having some difficulties with the installation. im on a macbook pro 10.6.8 btw. i downloaded the chuck executable as well as miniaudical. i opened up the chuck executable which opened up a chuck folder with a bunch of things in it, and i stored them both in my applications folder. in the chuck manual, theres a section i included in an attachment that talks about replacing the x's with the actual "directory name". what is a "directory name" and how do i find out what my directory name is? id really like to get this going, thanks in advance for any help! hopefully i ll be chucking soon.
