The task of building Paparazzi on for Apple MacOS X is on going.

The current installation instructions are as follows. As the process evolves and the more people begin to use it the process will become easier and more simplified.

Installation

  1. Install the latest XCode http://developer.apple.com
  2. Install MacPorts from http://www.macports.org/install.php
  3. login to github and fork paparazzi/paparazzi and paparazzi/paparazzi-portability-support
  4. git clone -o <username> git@github.com:<your github username>/paparazzi-portability-support.git <-- See the Paparazzi GIT page
  5. edit /opt/local/etc/macports/sources.conf and above the rsync://... line add file://<local path>/paparazzi-portability-support/darwin/macports/ports/ [nosync] (don't forget the leading slash in the <local path>)
  6. sudo port install paparazzi-tools # then go and have lunch, get a coffee, get some sleep. this will probably take a long time
  7. git clone -o <username> git@github.com:<your github username>/paparazzi.git <-- See the Paparazzi GIT page
  8. cd <GIT>/paparazzi
  9. make clean
  10. make
  11. edit /etc/profile and add export CPPFLAGS="-I/opt/local/include" (TODO: Remove the need for this)

Configuration

edit <GIT>/conf/control_panel.xml and set the ivy_bus variable to be <your IP Network>:2010

Running Paparazzi

The Paparazzi GCS can be started by running the command

./paparazzi.osx &
