Release for Mac?

[rtrahan504]

Is there anything inherently in the source code or dependencies that is incompatible to Mac? I don't see anything with a quick spot check. I'm also not a Mac owner or user so I can't even attempt. A friend is hoping for a MacOS release.

Hi @rtrahan504,

Is there anything inherently in the source code or dependencies that is incompatible to Mac?

Nope, not that I can think of. Building for Mac would probably be more similar to building for Linux, which I have instructions posted here: https://github.com/intel/openvino-plugins-ai-audacity/blob/main/doc/build_doc/linux/README.md

But I haven't tried, as I don't have a Mac either :)

Happy to review any changes needed to support Mac if someone from the community wants to take a shot.

Thanks,
Ryan

Its over a year old .. is there one for mac by now ? Instructions ?

[RyanMetcalfeInt8]

Not much has changed in a year. Our team still doesn't have Macs, nor the bandwidth to develop for them.

[rtrahan504]

Thanks @RyanMetcalfeInt8. Everything seems like standard C++. I've honestly never used a Mac, so I don't know where to start. The linux build seems standard too except for a lot of manual building of packages. Maybe just leave this issue up and a Mac user might chime in?

Yeah, a couple packages need to be built manually -- they're not too bad though.

Maybe just leave this issue up and a Mac user might chime in?

Sure, let me tag with 'Good first issue' -- maybe someone will volunteer. Cheers!

I'm not a developer per say but quite surprised no one has jumped on this yet.

I wasn't going to respond until I'd finished this, but since you asked...

I don't recall ever building anything on MacOS before, so this is a bit of an adventure, but I've been working on it and am making some progress. There are some tricks and tips that I've worked through and will try to document properly, but this is roughly where I've got to:

Dependencies
brew install openvino opencv libtorch cmake

I think you can then skip everything (although uncertain if libtorch still needs its path exporting) until:

Whisper.cpp
This section all works the same way as at the link except you need to change cmake ../whisper.cpp/ -DWHISPER_OPENVINO=ON to cmake ../ -DWHISPER_OPENVINO=ON

OpenVINO Stable-Diffusion CPP
Works as per Linux docs.

Audacity initial (vanilla) build
This is a bit different to the Linux docs, as libasound2-dev seems to be Linux-only and I'm not certain I've translated all the other Homebrew dependencies correctly:

#Install some build dependencies
brew install git python3-pip
sudo pip3 install conan
brew install gtk+ 
brew install jack
brew install ossp-uuid
# clone Audacity
git clone https://github.com/audacity/audacity.git
# Check out Audacity-3.4.2 tag, 
cd audacity
git checkout Audacity-3.4.2
cd ..
# Create build directory
mkdir audacity-build
cd audacity-build
# Run cmake (grab a coffee & a snack... this takes a while)
cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" ../audacity -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
# build it 
make -j`nproc`

That then builds a broken app, which is probably to be expected given the hamfisted approach I've been taking, but it's getting late...

Hey Roland - What generation mac are you using?

[kingrollo]

MacOS 12.7 Monterey on a 2016 MacBook Pro with Intel.

[kingrollo]

I've poked around a bit more but am a bit stuck at this point, and unsure what direction to take next. The Mac build instructions for Audacity are a bit sparse. The main instructions describe using the XCode IDE, which might work - I don't actually know it, but I can't imagine it's insurmountable. Would the next Linux step (the OpenVINO module) work if you built it through the IDE? I'd test it, but XCode requires a more recent version of MacOS.

The signing instructions refer to a file called cmake_build.txt, but that was deleted three years ago and doesn't appear to be fully current / relevant.

[RyanMetcalfeInt8]

Would the next Linux step (the OpenVINO module) work if you built it through the IDE?

Yes, it should. You should be able to drop the mod-openvino folder in src/modules/, modify src/modules/CMakeLists.txt and then go through the IDE build steps as usual.

The signing instructions refer to a file called cmake_build.txt, but that was deleted three years ago and doesn't appear to be fully current / relevant.

So Mac requires you to sign the binary to use them or something?

[ashleycox]

I've been looking into this too as I'd love to have this working on the Mac, but haven't been able to get further than the discussion here and no luck building audacity via the IDE> Anyone else made progress?

[cshaver]

I was able to build vanilla Audacity, and then with the mod-openvino.so in the modules folder, but when I restart Audacity with the module enabled I get an error loading the module:

Unable to load the module "/path/to/audacity-build/Release/Audacity.app/Contents/modules/mod-openvino.so". Error: No such file or directory

---

the main things I did differently than the instructions y'all mentioned were using the homebrew-installed libtorch

# Libtorch
export LIBTORCH_ROOTDIR=/opt/homebrew/include/torch/

and I got an error about an ambiguous usage in mod-openvino/htdemucs.h so I tweaked this bit 🔨

#include <torch/torch.h>
// namespace torch
// {
//     class Tensor;
// }

hmm, I wonder if it is having trouble resolving some other .so's? I'm not a Mac developer so maybe this tip wouldn't apply, but from the terminal that you run Audacity from, could you do something like ldd /path/to/audacity-build/Release/Audacity.app/Contents/modules/mod-openvino.so and see if it lists any dependencies as Not Found?

Google led me to otool, which it sounds like doesn't actually look at the libraries the way ldd does.

otool -L Debug/Audacity.app/Contents/modules/mod-openvino.so

I only looked at the couple of absolute paths like /usr/lib/libc++.1.dylib and didn't see the file there on my system, however using otool -L on the mod-ffmpeg.so uses it too so it can't be that strange. I'll keep poking around!

@cshaver It looks like you were almost getting a working build.

It can work on Apple M1.

To resolve references issues and make models available:

1. prevent apple security check for openvino_toolkit libraries if you trust the source
   use "xattr -d com.apple.quarantine openvino_toolkit_/runtime/lib/arm64/Release/.so " and for dylib
2. copy openvino_toolkit_/runtime/lib/arm64/Release/.so and *.dylib to audacity-build/Release/Audacity.app/Contents/Frameworks
3. copy libtbb.12.dylib to audacity-build/Release/3rdparty/tbb/libtbb.12.dylib
4. copy models to audacity-build/Release/Audacity.app/Contents/openvino-models

This would be so cool to use on a Mac with M1 chip. Has anyone built a working plugin for that yet?

[eukarpov]

The build will work for Apple M generation devices as it is based on Arm64. For x64 devices it should be another build.

[Jackmattson]

Has anyone posted an installer yet?

[shock]

@eukarpov
I see you started a pull request yesterday. It looks like you aborted it? I don't have a lot of time, but I do have a working Xcode 15 build environment on an M1 Mac. Let me know if you need any help testing anything. I will try to reproduce the steps I think you are taking locally as soon as I have time. If you can add any details or list out your full steps in here, that could make it more clear what you've done.

The work on creating a Mac build on GitHub was started 2 days ago, and a new PR had to be created to test a build workflow. It was mistakenly made directly to this repo. The PR has been closed, and it will be reopened once it works in my fork.

There was progress on obtaining build artifacts; however, it still lacks some dependencies for the installation to be completed. This weekend could be a date estimation for when the artifacts might be deployed correctly.

Please join review

Thanks!

@eukarpov: Great! Sometime today, I'll fork your fork, and have a look at your GitHub build work. I'll message you in your repo...

How to install openvino-plugins-ai-audacity on macOS Arm64

[danruzicka]

Any information or status "HOw to install openvino plugin aduacity on Mac OS Intel"?

[eukarpov]

Any information or status "HOw to install openvino plugin aduacity on Mac OS Intel"?

I will allocate some time next week to investigate possibility of an x64 build on macOS.

I’m looking forward to it.

[danruzicka]

@eukarpov how's your investigation going? Will that be possible or not? Thanks for the answer!

[eukarpov]

@danruzicka Sorry, I was busy with other things these days. I will try to compile it next week.

[ra7kar]

@eukarpov, Thank you so much for your efforts in working on the build for a Mac.
I tried eukarpov#3, but could not make it to work. I have a Mac M1 Pro, and MacOS Sonoma 14.4.1, also have Audacity 3.5.1 install on my laptop.
I will attempt again once you release the steps and the new build. Thank you

[7ratcat7]

Hi! Any update on an installer for mac?

[doctorhy]

I have a Macbook Pro (Apple M3 Pro); how to install the plugins for Audacity? Thanks

[Openstreetmapler]

While there’s no OpenVINO installer for Mac yet and if you specifically want the music separation feature, you can download the latest version of DemucsGUI. It allows you to choose the model (default htdemucs should be good for most cases) and tweak more settings than in the OpenVINO interface. (Please choose an output filepath you want, the default may not be good!) You can drag-and-drop files and press the start button to separate the stems.
