Greg, I already added a howto in the wiki some time ago but it is a 
little bit hidden in the devel pages:

I have never had any problems getting the plugin to work but I have to 
admit that I never tried on OSX. What you explain though seems like a 
problem with
paths. Eclipse might have problems finding the Phython paths.

Actually there are different ways to go about it:

1. If you are just interested in the result, do a regular SMSSynthesis 
and add a ResidualGain transformation (already available) set to 0 dB.
2. If you want to create a dedicated processing I would start from the 
SMSSynthesis class and remove everything that deals with residual. I 
think this
approach might be easier than building something from scratch.
