I've already gotten two requests to describe how I built Scan Tailor on OSX, so I just realized it would probably be useful to put my procedure here:
UPDATE: If you want to recompile Scan Tailor after you upgrade to 10.6 (Snow Leopard) then you must wipe out darwinports (=macports) and reinstall it, and all the ports you installed.
Update: How to get the source code:
The latest code is always in Scan Tailor's git repository:
git://scantailor.git.sourceforge.net/gi ... scantailor
If you are not familiar with git, you can grab the latest sources using the web interface:
http://scantailor.git.sourceforge.net/g ... ;a=summary
Use the topmost "snapshot" link for that purpose.
Here's the process that I used:
Once you get the Scan Tailor source code, and assuming you already have Darwinports installed, and also assuming you have XCode installed (which gives you gcc) you can do this:
sudo port install cmake
sudo port install qt4-mac This will take several hours.
sudo port install boost
I'm pretty sure that qt4-mac will install tiff, jpeg and png, but if not:
sudo port install tiff
sudo port install jpeg
sudo port install libpng
After that's done, hopefully you should be able to go into the Scan Tailor directory and type
- Code: Select all
cmake -DQT_QMAKE_EXECUTABLE=/opt/local/libexec/qt4-mac/bin/qmake .
When that's done, type
make
And hopefully it will work.
TO RUN SCANTAILOR, you must open Terminal, go to the scantailor directory, and type ./scantailor which should bring it up.
