Starting AIS Catcher on Mac

[Joe295398]

I have successfully gotten AIS Catcher to work on Windows as well as a Raspberry PI, but I can not figure out how to get it to work on MacOS. Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

Did you manage to install brew? Any further insights on errors you encounter?

[Joe295398]

Yes brew is installed, dependencies are in place and I am to the install AIS Catcher section. Coping the install code into terminal nets me this:

joeg@Joes-MBP-16 AIS-catcher % git clone https://github.com/jvde-github/AIS-catcher.git
cd AIS-catcher
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
sudo make install

Looks like you do not have cmake installed. I am traveling so cannot access my mac. Assume it is 'brew install cmake', might also be some other dependencies later on.

[Joe295398]

Okay yes, that was it. Thank you!

[jvde-github]

Glad that it worked. I also now notice I am a bit light on mac installation instructions. Perhaps some day will fix it. Enjoy the program.

Did you ever have a chance to add to the Mac install instructions?

[jvde-github]

I added something here: https://github.com/jvde-github/AIS-catcher/blob/main/README.md#ubuntu-raspberry-pi-macos-msvc

Do you think that is sufficient. You need to install brew, some basic dependencies and then the tools for your specific hardware (e.g. rtlsdr)

Thank you, will look. I don't use Brew, having been a MacPorts user for ages but I should be able to work it out. I'll try to let you know!

I don’t have any experience with macports but you could give it a try, installing git, cmake and rtl-sdr library. If it compiles should be fine

[splobsterman]

Turns out I had those pre-req's in place via Macports and it built fine once I sorted out the build instructions. Using MacOS Monterey (12.7.5) on an M1 Mac mini. Using the now default terminal shell zsh.
