# Hugin

[Hugin](https://hugin.sourceforge.io/) is an open-source panorama photo stitcher for hobbyists. Unfortunately, macOS only ships a 2019 binary that's been broken since Sonoma.

I spent ~500K Claude tokens wiring up a Homebrew tap that builds Hugin and all its dependencies from source:

```bash
brew tap danwald/hugin
brew install hugin-src-2025   # ~2 min build
hugin-link                     # symlinks into ~/Application *
```

* the last step is required because it's built from source

The [danwald/homebrew-hugin](https://github.com/danwald/homebrew-hugin) tap handles the full build chain — no pre-built bottles, just source (with some compatibility patches) all the way down.

I would have gotten there sooner if I'd just led with:

```bash
alias claude='claude --dangerously-skip-permissions'
```

Happy Hackin'!
