How to use Gource on M1 device about gource HOT 5 CLOSED

If there are more people interested, I will consider improving the x86 and m1 versions of the docker image, which can make things simpler and only need to tolerate some performance losses.

@soulteary , tried the steps with OS Montery, M1, and got the following error message during configuration. Please let me know if anything comes to mind

...
checking whether the Boost::System library is available... yes
checking whether the Boost::Filesystem library is available... yes
configure: error: Could not link against -lGL !

from gource.

@acaudwell I can confirm it's fixed on master.

@tbonza @soulteary
I had the same issue

I solved it with the following steps.

sudo port install libGLU

⚠️ If you don't have port, install it -> https://www.macports.org/install.php
And verify that you export PATH correctly in your terminal profile file (.bashrc or .zshrc or else)

export PATH="/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$PATH"

And if ever, additionally, for other issues I had I installed those ones

sudo port install freetype
sudo port install giflib
sudo port install tiff
sudo port install jpeg
sudo port install libpng
sudo port install boost
sudo port install glew
sudo port install glm
sudo port install libsdl2
sudo port install libsdl2_image
sudo port install ffmpeg

Be patient for ffmpeg ;)

Then in the configure file, I searched for include <GL/gl.h> and replaced by include <OpenGL/gl.h> (Thanks Apple -_-)

Finally, just type

./configure
make
sudo make install

Enjoy

Edit: I've done it with Gource 0.53 on a Macbook Pro with chip M1 Pro and OS with Ventura 13.0.1

I think finding GL should now be fixed on master since we recently updated the autoconf GL macros (#297), would be good if someone can check
