kalibrate-rtl has support to mac?

[cristianchaparroa]

Hello I'm trying to compile kalibrate-rtl on mac yosemite but when I try to execute the command make I get the following problem:

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/make  all-recursive
Making all in src
g++ -I/opt/local/include  -I/opt/local/include/ -I/opt/local/include/libusb-1.0  -g -O2   -o kal kal-arfcn_freq.o kal-c0_detect.o kal-circular_buffer.o kal-fcch_detector.o kal-kal.o kal-offset.o kal-usrp_source.o kal-util.o -L/opt/local/lib -lfftw3  -L/opt/local/lib -lrtlsdr -lusb-1.0  -lrt 
ld: library not found for -lrt
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
make[2]: *** [kal] Error 1
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2

I wondering if is posible install kalibrate on mac?

You need to bootstrap it.

./bootstrap

You'll probably run into not having glibtoolize and aclocal, which I've installed with brew:

brew install libtool
brew install automake

Then you'll want to configure, but you'll probably be missing fftw3. brew, as usual has this:

brew install fftw
./configure

Now you'll want to make and probably make install as well. When you attempt to make, ld is going to moan about not finding -lrt, which is referring to librt. It's not needed on OS X, and so @steve-m should commit a change that tests if the environment is apple/darwin, and appropriately use/not build with it.

I had to modify https://github.com/steve-m/kalibrate-rtl/blob/master/src/Makefile.am#L23 and remove the flag.

It'll build fine afterwards and worked for my use, which was determining drift of the R820T tuner.

The following worked for me:
(You have to add -L/usr/local/Cellar/libusb/1.0.20/lib and remove -lrt from the last g++ command.)

git clone https://github.com/steve-m/kalibrate-rtl.git
brew install autoconf automake libusb librtlsdr libtool
cd kalibrate-rtl
./bootstrap
./configure
make
cd src 
g++ -I/usr/local/Cellar/fftw/3.3.4_1/include -I/usr/local/Cellar/librtlsdr/0.5.3/include/ -I/usr/local/Cellar/libusb/1.0.20/include/libusb-1.0 -g -O2   -o kal kal-arfcn_freq.o kal-c0_detect.o kal-circular_buffer.o kal-fcch_detector.o kal-kal.o kal-offset.o kal-usrp_source.o kal-util.o -L/usr/local/Cellar/fftw/3.3.4_1/lib -lfftw3 -L/usr/local/Cellar/librtlsdr/0.5.3/lib -L/usr/local/Cellar/libusb/1.0.20/lib -lrtlsdr -lusb-1.0
cd ..
make install

I am getting the following when trying to run bootstrap on a Mac OS 10.10.5 box with dependencies installed via MacPorts:

This is on commit f61b9e6 which is the current head of viraptor/kalibrate-rtl/master because it has the MacOS-specific changes in it (merges in b9f95b5).

An additional quick test also shows the same errors using aae11c8.

On further investigation, the error seems to be caused by a misbehavior in Homebrew's libtool 2.4.6 which was corrected in 2.4.6_1. Running brew unlink libtool and then reinstalling brought me up to 2.4.6_1 which seems to correct the issue. More info here: Homebrew/legacy-homebrew#43874

However, I then ran into an issue where the current Homebrew-supplied version of librtlsdr (librtlsdr-0.5.3) is incompatible with kalibrate due to steve-m/librtlsdr#29 so at the moment it looks like Mac users have to build librtlsdr from source.
