Can you try running it from a terminal? What error are you getting? Do you have any logs?
I’m working on packaging Zrythm on Mac differently btw but it will take some time.

Hi @Alex ,
I am contacting in terms of Zrythm installation procedure for latest macOS build (Sonoma 14.6).
I managed to go trough all the provided documentation, tested all the necessary components, but unfortunately I am unable to install the software using Meson Build.
The commands, that I used across several branches (tested even from CI/CD perspective):
meson setup build -Dprefix=~/local -Db\_lto=false -Dnative\_build=true -Dstrict\_flags=true -Ddebug=true -Doptimization=0 -Dcarla=enabled -Dextra\_debug\_info=true -Dstatic\_deps=false -Dcheck\_updates=true -Drtaudio=enabled -Drtmidi=enabled -Dforce\_fallback\_for=gtk4,libadwaita,libpanel,xxhash,libcyaml,json-glib,gtksourceview5,rtmidi,rtaudio,zstd,pcre,pcre2,libsndfile,libsoxr -Dopus=true
I tried with a different methods and components, but seems that Carla Host plugin (even Forked on your Github Repository) is not recognised. I created the build with meson several times, but it seems, that it’s not compiling.
The different version of Carla plugin software (installed from official website & forked) is stable for 2.5.8, so in the dependencies list the value was changed by me to \>= 2.5.8, but it’s either not working.
The solution I followed during the troubleshooting process, was to replace some of the Carla backend files (autogenerated by compiler during Zrythm installation process) with the desired from the original backend solution.
Sample of the errors, that I get:

I tried to install the Carla 2.6.0 unreleased version plugin for macOS, but it seems that it was only dedicated for Linux distribution.
Please let me know, if further investigation is needed from my end.
It would be a pleasure, if we could contact personally and get the latest version of Zrythm working.
