From your original ticket, I assume you're on osx 10.4. I've updated this
thread's subject accordingly.

You do not need Python, but you have to compile Jackbeat:

- install xcode from:
http://developer.apple.com/technology/xcode.html

- install x11 from:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/x11formacosx.html

- install fink from:
http://www.finkproject.org/download/index.php?phpLang=en

- in a Terminal, use fink to install the svn client and jackbeat's dependencies,
by typing:

$ fink selfupdate
$ fink install svn-client autoconf automake1.9 gtk+2-dev libglade2
libsamplerate0-dev libsndfile1-dev libxml2 pkgconfig portaudio2 liblo0

- download the latest jackbeat svn revision:

$ svn co http://svn.samalyse.com/jackbeat/trunk jackbeat

- compile jackbeat:

$ cd jackbeat
$ PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/sw/lib/pkgconfig ./configure --enable-devmode
$ make

- launch X11 from Applications/Utilities

- run jackbeat, in the Terminal:

$ src/jackbeat

- make music and let me listen to your tracks if you feel like it ;)

If that works for you, you can install jackbeat permanently. Ask me if you can't
figure how to do this.

Note: if you don't want to use X11, then you can alternatively use gtk-macosx
from http://developer.imendio.com/projects/gtk-macosx/, but that's more
complicated and quite long to install.

Hope that helps

You need to get a free apple developer account (see "ADC Member Site" on
http://developer.apple.com/), then after login, look for xcode 2.5 in "developer
tools". That is compatible with tiger.

That's good news :)

Please read http://jackbeat.samalyse.org/wiki/MacInstallation

It's now simpler than before to install Jackbeat on a Mac.

The commands must be typed into a Terminal.app (which you find in the Finder in
Application/Utilities).

Jackbeat can interface with other applications and/or hardware in two ways :

- through JACK you can connect its outputs to the inputs of other JACK enabled
applications. See http://www.jackaudio.org and http://www.jackosx.com/. Also
look at the Jackbeat screenshots for what it looks like on Linux.

- with OSC you can receive and send control commands from/to external
applications and/or hardware. It is similar to Midi, but a bit harder to setup,
although it offers more flexibility. Check http://opensoundcontrol.org

Launch "Terminal" and follow carefully the instructions at
