Building Sonic Pi on macOS - the manual way

Note, you will have to modify the paths to point to the appropriate place(s) on your machine - both in terms of your equivalent to ~ (/Users/sam in this file) and the versions of the dependencies you install should there be more recent releases.

  1. Download the latest version of Sonic Pi and install to /Applications
  2. Install the latest Qt (5.12 at the time of writing) and install to a known location e.g. ~/Qt/5.12
  3. Create a new directory for the build e.g. mkdir ~/sp-build
  4. Clone the latest Sonic Pi source code git clone https://github.com/samaaron/sonic-pi.git ~/sp-build/sonic-pi
  5. Download the latest Qwt (6.1.3 at the time of writing) and copy to ~/sp-build/qwt-6.1.3
  6. Download the latest QScintilla (2.10.8 at the time of writing) and copy to ~/sp-build/QScintilla_gpl-2.10.8
  7. Download the latest SuperCollider source into the new build dir:
  • git clone https://github.com/supercollider/supercollider.git ~/sp-build/supercollider
  1. Copy the native files from Sonic Pi.app to your new build dir:
  • cp -R /Applications/Sonic\ Pi.app/app/server/native/* ~/sp-build/sonic-pi/app/server/native/
  1. Copy the erlang beam files from Sonic Pi.app to new build dir:
  • cp -R /Applications/Sonic\ Pi.app/app/server/erlang/* ~/sp-build/sonic-pi/app/server/erlang/
  1. Copy the Ruby native files from Sonic Pi.app to new build dir:
  • cp -R /Applications/Sonic\ Pi.app/app/server/ruby/rb-native ~/sp-build/sonic-pi/app/server/ruby
  1. Build qwt:
  • cd ~/sp-build/qwt-6.1.3 && ~/Qt/5.12/5.12.0/clang_64/bin/qmake && make
  1. Build QScintilla:
  • cd ~/sp-build/QScintilla_gpl-2.10.8/Qt4Qt5 && ~/Qt/5.12/5.12.0/clang_64/bin/qmake && make
  1. Edit ~/sp-build/sonic-pi/app/gui/qt/mac-build-app to include something like the following at the top: (swap out /Users/sam with your ~)
    QSCINTILLA_QT4QT5_DIR=/Users/sam/sp-build/QScintilla_gpl-2.10.8/Qt4Qt5
    QSCINTILLA_LIB=libqscintilla2_qt5.13.2.1.dylib
    QWT_DIR=/Users/sam/sp-build/qwt-6.1.3
    QT_DIR=/Users/sam/Qt/5.12/5.12.0
  1. Edit ~/sp-build/sonic-pi/app/gui/qt/SonicPi.pro and add the following at the top: (swap out /Users/sam with your ~)
    LIBS += -L/Users/sam/sp-build/supercollider/external_libraries/boost/libs
    INCLUDEPATH += /Users/sam/sp-build/supercollider/external_libraries/boost/
    DEPENDPATH += /Users/sam/sp-build/supercollider/external_libraries/boost/
     
    LIBS += -L/Users/sam/sp-build/QScintilla_gpl-2.10.8/Qt4Qt5
    INCLUDEPATH += /Users/sam/sp-build/QScintilla_gpl-2.10.8/Qt4Qt5
    DEPENDPATH += /Users/sam/sp-build/QScintilla_gpl-2.10.8/Qt4Qt5
    include ( /Users/sam/sp-build/qwt-6.1.3/qwt.prf )
  1. Build app:
  • cd ~/sp-build/sonic-pi/app/gui/qt && ./mac-build-app
  1. Run app:
  • cd ~/sp-build/sonic-pi/app/gui/qt && ./build/Sonic\ Pi.app/Contents/MacOS/Sonic\ Pi
  1. Enjoy!
