Howto Compile dcraw on OSX

dcraw is cool and all, but the maintainer of the OSX binary isn't very timely. Currently only v 8.99 is available, which is well over 15 months old, while the windows version is at 9.07. No matter, we can compile ourselves!

1. get dcraw.c
2. put it somewhere eg ~/downloads
3. open terminal and CD to ~/downloads
4. run
   
   gcc -o dcraw -O4 dcraw.c -lm -DNO_JPEG -DNO_LCMS
   
   
5. ignore the errors
   
   dcraw.c: In function ‘convert_to_rgb’:
   dcraw.c:8326: warning: passing argument 1 of ‘pseudoinverse’ from incompatible pointer type
   
   
   
6. produces a file 'dcraw' in the downloads folder
7. switch to finder and do command-shift-g
8. type /bin
9. move dcraw from downloads to /bin
   

Ready to run!
