Difficulty installing and compliling dada engine on OSX

I am trying to install Dada Engine. The readme can be found here:

https://github.com/orenmazor/Dada-Engine

I have run the install bash successfully and "sudo make". However, when I run "make install" as per the readme instructions, I get the following line:

/bin/sh mkdirs.sh /usr/local/bin

/bin/sh: mkdirs.sh: No such file or directory

make: *** [/usr/local/bin] Error 127

Any advice on how to properly compile this program would be helpful.

I found that I needed to install a few dependencies before I could get the Dada Engine to compile on my Mac. I used homebrew to install the following:

brew install bison
brew install byacc
brew install flex
brew install texinfo

Then I could compile the dada engine from the GitHub repo:

./configure
make
sudo make install

See it's working by running:

dada scripts/pomo.pb

I will recommend having a look at this git commit showing amendments made by Steve Smith on Github to the following files

+5,428 −1,213 configure
+2 −2  configure.in
+4 −1  src/dump.c
+4 −1  src/pb.c
+4 −0  src/resstack.c
+4 −1  src/rtn.c
+4 −0  src/strfunc.c
+9 −3  src/variables.c

which fixed platform-specific problems with macOS (the original source is written to run smoothly on most UNIX-like systems).

Looks like you need to do some type-casting for strings, set the right cpp location, #include additional libraries, etc, for it to work properly on macOS.

Re-made-and-built and tested on my MacOS 10.14.3 and it is working beautifully as contrary to not dumping any text out to my stdout after running dada dada-1.03/scripts/pomo.pb previously.

Follow the install instruction from schluppeck (./configure && make && make install), but use the repo https://github.com/essandess/Dada-Engine/ and it works great!

sw_vers  # to check OS version: gives

ProductName:    Mac OS X

cd dada  # change into dir
./configure  # configure

Hth.
