[TiLP-devel] libticables2 OS X support

[Kevin K. <kev...@ch...>]

I'm trying to resurrect OS X support in libticables2 because I want KTIGCC to 
work on OS X too. (There's at least one interested user, see:
http://p080.ezboard.com/ftichessteamhqfrm5.showMessage?topicID=3281.topic
). I cleaned up some of the mess, but there are 2 issues remaining:
* USB linking. macos/link_slv.c needs to be ported to the new interface 
expected by the libticables2. But can't we just use libusb? 
http://libusb.sourceforge.net says it works on OS X. That way we could use 
the same code as for Linux and BSD instead of fiddling with the IOKit, and 
that would be much easier for me to do without an OS X box to test with and 
much more likely to work.
* virtual link. Currently, this isn't built on OS X. Shouldn't this just work? 
It only uses standard POSIX IPC as far as I can tell.
