Fatal Error Installing libsndfile on OS X Mavericks

Question

I'm currently trying to install libsndfile on my mac running os x 10.9.1. However, when after running the command 'make' it runs for a while and then displays the following message: sndfile-play.c:61:11: fatal error: 'Carbon.h' file not found. I haven't had much luck finding people with a similar issue. From what I found it looks like it may have to do with newer os versions not being supported. Anyone know how to resolve this issue? Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

The following worked for me (I am running OS X 10.9.1):

1. Download the source code
2. Untar the bundle
3. $ ./configure
4. $ make
5. A problem should occur with Carbon.h (sndfile-play.c:61:21: error: Carbon.h: No such file or directory)
6. Search Carbon.h in your machine using: $ find /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/ | grep Carbon.h
7. Edit **programs/**Makefile
8. Look for CFLAGS, ensure CFLAGS is configured: CFLAGS =
   -I/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.7.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/Carbon.framework/Versions/A/Headers/ -g -O2 -std=gnu99 -Wall -Wextra -Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wpointer-arith -funsigned-char -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wcast-align -Wcast-qual -Wnested-externs -Wbad-function-cast -Wwrite-strings -Wundef -pipe -I/Developer/Headers/FlatCarbon
9. $ make
10. $ make check (All test should pass), then:
11. $ sudo make install
