Macports Mojave

| Posted on by



Versions 2.0 and higher have a graphical user interface based on the powerful Gtk+ toolkit which enables portability between Linux, Unix and Windows platforms. After installing, see readme.txt for more information.Download for Windows, Linux-Intel, Macintosh,Linux-ARM. Download the scale archive

You can help to create more user interface translations for Scala! Now Scala is available in English and Dutch. Download the Portable Object Template. See here for an explanation.When you've made one, please email me the new .po file you've created from the scala.pot file and I will include it in the installers.

Versions 1.x are a console application with only a command line which runs in a terminal window (command window, xterm, etc.)

These packages ought to be available through the package managers of your operating system; i.e. Homebrew & macports on macOS, scoop/chocolatey on Windows, or pacman/aptitude/etc on the various Linux distributions. While Doom does claim to support 26.x, 27.x is recommended because it is faster, especially for LSP users. Eventually when the Mac's 64-bit transition is complete (Mojave is the last OS version to run 32-bit apps), Inkscape won't be compatible unless it is optimized in time. Vector vs Raster.

PC/Intel

  • Scala 2.44z for Windows,http://www.huygens-fokker.org/software/Scala_Setup.exe (3.4 MB)

    To install on Windows, first download the Gtk+ Windows Runtime Environment installer available from https://gtk-win.sourceforge.io/home/index.php/Main/Downloads. The version should be the 32-bit 2.24.10 for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows.In the GTK2 runtime installer, leave the tickboxes in the additional options on, especially the one with the PATH variable. You can also use the GTK2 Themes installer (GTK+ Preference Tool) from SourceForge.net: GTK+ for Windows Runtime Environment to change the visual style of Scala. You will also needthe GTK+ Themes Package.Should you have an older Gtk+ version installed then uninstall it first.

    Then run the Scala_Setup.exe program and choose an installation directory, for example C:Program FilesScala22 or C:Scala22. It can be installed in an existing directory overwriting a previous version.

    If you get an error message about a missing entry point of libglib-2.0-0.dll, or different error messages about dlls, there is probably another incompatible Gtk version installed in another location, or the PATH (environment variable) does not contain the C:Program Files (x86)GTK2-Runtimebin folder.In case it does there's probably an incompatible version installed or left over. Then try moving thisfolder more to the left in the PATH variable.(Go to Control Panel, System, Advanced, Environment Variables). Also search for Gtk files in otherlocations on the computer, especially the system area windowssystem32 where they don't belong, orother directories contained in the PATH variable.
    If that still does not help, or if you don't know how to do the above things, you can then better use the portable Windows version of Scala, listed below.

    If you want to make graphical plots like scale plots, interval histograms, etc. then the Windowsversion of GNUplot must be downloaded and installed also from http://sourceforge.net/projects/gnuplot/files/gnuplot/

  • Scala 2.44w for Windows, Portable version.http://www.huygens-fokker.org/software/Scala_Portable_Win32.zip (22.3 MB)

    With this version, installation of the Gtk+ Windows Runtime Environment is not necessary, although it also will not do any harm or benefit.Unzip the zip archive on the local hard disk and start Scala.exe by navigating where it was copied and then into the Scala22 folder.The GTK+ Preference Tool is included and can be started by double clicking gtk2_prefs.exe.

  • Scala 2.42p for 32-bit GNU/Linux on PC/Intel, http://www.huygens-fokker.org/software/scala-22-pc-linux.tar.bz2 (4.2 MB)

    Install the following packages:

    • aconnectgui (recommended)
    • gnuplot (if not installed yet, dependency only if graphic plots are made)
    • libgnat-4.6
    • playmidi (recommended)
    • timidity (recommended)
  • Scala 2.44w for 64-bit GNU/Linux on PC/Intel, http://www.huygens-fokker.org/software/scala-22-pc64-linux.tar.bz2 (4.5 MB)

    Install the following packages:

    • aconnectgui (recommended)
    • gnuplot (if not installed yet, dependency only if graphic plots are made)
    • libgnat-5.4
    • playmidi (recommended)
    • timidity (recommended)
    Be aware that this release requires gcc version 5.4 with which it was built.

    For all Linux distros, read the file INSTALL for instructions. See theLinux MIDI HOWTO for adding virtual MIDI ports to be used by Scala and Scala's readme.txt.
    I recommend the desktop environment XFCE rather than Gnome.It leaves the menu and button icons visible whereas Gnome removes them. The icons arehelpful to find the right menu item more quickly because Scala has many menu items. You caneasily install XFCE plus associated other packages in Ubuntu. Then log out, and chooseXFCE in the login screen settings. The file manager is also better in my opinion.

  • Scala 1.88e for Windows XP and higher,http://www.huygens-fokker.org/software/scala18win.zip (2.2 MB)
    (This is a 32-bit console mode executable which runs in a Command Prompt window)
  • Scala 1.88e for 64-bit GNU/Linux on PC/Intel, http://www.huygens-fokker.org/software/scala-18-pc64-linux.tar.gz (2.3 MB)
    (This is a 64-bit console mode executable which runs in a Terminal window)
    This version runs on recent Ubuntu versions, on which currently the full version is not supported.So if you do not have an older Linux version with gcc 5.4, then this is an alternative.
  • Scala 1.88e for different architectures under GNU/Linux: contact the author.

Macintosh

Memo to Mac users, before sending me an email please read carefully the bottom paragraph of this page.

  • Scala 2.42r for OS X 10.5 'Leopard' to 10.14 'Mojave' on Intel/Mac, http://www.huygens-fokker.org/software/Scala_Setup.app.zip (6.4 MB)
    Warning: Do not use this version if you plan to use the MIDI out function with SimpleSynth for example.Due to a bug which still needs fixing it does not work. Instead download the previous version 2.42q for 10.5 'Leopard' to 10.14 'Mojave':

Steps

Uninstall Macports Mojave

Macports Mojave
  1. Update XQuartz

    Download and install the latest Apple XQuartz package suitable for your OSX version fromhttps://www.xquartz.org/releases/index.html.

  2. Install Gtk2 Runtime

    http://www.huygens-fokker.org/software/gtk2-2.24.31.mpkg (111 MB) (right-click, Save as). You do not need to reinstall this runtime library for every new Scala release. However if you encounteran incompatible library version message when starting Scala, then download and install the new version of this runtime also. Always install Scala again after installing this package.
    In case you have MacPorts installed, then do not install this package but enter this command: sudo port install gtk2, andsudo port install gnuplot if you want to make graphic plots.
    Or if you have Homebrew installed, then do not install gtk2 with Homebrew because that will not be compatible with Scala, use the mpkg installer instead. But installing gnuplot with sudo brew install gnuplot should be fine.

  3. Download, unzip and install Scala fromhttp://www.huygens-fokker.org/software/Scala_Setup.app.zip
  4. Check Security setting (OSX 10.8 to 10.14)

    In OSX 10.8 and higher, it is necessary to allow any downloaded applications to be run. This is shown by Scala's installer. The installer shows how, but does not check what the setting actually is and it is not an error message.

  5. Install SimpleSynth

    It plays via Apple's DLS Synthesizer and it can set soundfonts: http://mac.softpedia.com/get/Audio/SimpleSynth.shtml.

Macports Mojave

Macports Gfortran Mojave

Start SimpleSynth and then start Scala. Then you can select the SimpleSynth virtual port in Scala's Sound Settings dialog to play MIDI. More on this page by Curtis Macdonald.If you have done an OSX upgrade from 10.6 up then there may be issues with X11. In that case uninstall X11, reboot and install the right version of X11 for the OSX version. In case of problems with Scala please check X11 first.
  • Scala 2.22d for OS X 10.4 'Tiger' on PowerPC/Mac, http://www.huygens-fokker.org/software/ScalaX.zip (8.0 MB)

    Note: If you have OS X 10.5 on PowerPC then use the following workaround:

Macports インストール Mojave

  1. Update XQuartz

    Download and install the latest Apple XQuartz package fromhttps://www.xquartz.org/releases/index.html.It's included with Xcode on Mac OS X 10.5 'Leopard'. It's located in the 'Optional Installs.mpkg' package on the Mac OS X 10.4 'Tiger' DVD. It's on disk 3 of the Mac OS X 10.3 'Jaguar' CD set.

  2. Install MacPorts
  3. Install gtk2 from MacPorts. Go to Utilities and start Terminal, then type

    sudo port install gtk2

  4. Scala

    a) Download and install Tiger package

    b) Control-click Scala.app, Show Package Contents

    c) Open Scala.app's Contents/Resources/script with your favourite text editor

    d) Delete lines 13-27

    e) Save Contents/Resources/script

  5. Double-click Scala.app to run

Please read the following instructions carefully if you use 10.4 and the information on Install and use Scala on Mac OS X 10.4, especially if you still have OS X 10.3.
- Check if X11 is installed. If so, you should see an X11 icon insideApplications/Utilities/X11. If not, install it from Apple's OS X DVD (or the above website).
- Unzip ScalaX.zip
- Mount the Scala.dmg disk image (double click on it)
- Drag the Scala folder from the image into the Applications folder
- Double click on Scala inside the Scala folder to run
- Type 'help' in the bottom line of the Scala window

  • For other OSX versions, you can download the Windows version and the Windows Gtk+ runtime and run it under CrossOver Mac.The message 'Unsupported Software' can be ignored. Sound output works too.

Linux, Unix

  • Scala 2.44p for 32-bit Linux on ARMv7 (armhf) http://www.huygens-fokker.org/software/scala-22-armv7-32-linux.tar.bz2 (4.3 MB)

Install the following packages:

  • gnuplot (if not installed yet, dependency only if graphic plots are made)
  • libgnat-4.9
  • playmidi (recommended)
  • timidity (recommended)
It's only tested on a Raspberry PI with Cortex-A processor.

Macports Mojave 10.14

For all Linux distros, read the file INSTALL for instructions. See theLinux MIDI HOWTO for adding virtual MIDI ports to be used by Scala and Scala's readme.txt.

Scala can be compiled on almost every other variety of Linux and Unix.For PC/Intel, see above. For other platforms, contact the author at coul@huygens-fokker.org.

Scale Archive

A large collection of over 5000 scale files for Scala is also available for download.

  • Scale archive, version 90, October 2020:http://www.huygens-fokker.org/docs/scales.zip
    The files will go to a subdirectory 'scl' of the current directory.The best way to unzip them is to do File:Import scales.zip in Scala since that takes care of the factthat they are stored in Windows text format (CR-LF).
    Macintosh OSX, Linux and Unix users: if you don't do it like this, you can unzip them via the command line with the -a (autoconvert) option. Right-click on the link and save it in the user or home directory. Go to Utilities and start Terminal, then navigate with cd if you saved it somewhere else and type:

    unzip -aa scales.zip

    N.B. If the files are unzipped on Mac and Linux like normal without this option,they cannot be opened!! Do not just double click on the zipfile assuming that it works!

See the contents listing for a brief description of each scale file in the archive.Here's a description of the file format.
