Re: [Usbpicprog-technical] [usbpicprog-technical] Contact: Mac OS X PPC Compile

[Frans S. <fra...@gm...>]

Dear Aleksej,

I have succeeded to build the latest snapshot (831) with osx 10.5, you 
can find the package here (I hope it works on your mac too):
http://usbpicprog.org/downloads/usbpicprog-831-20100226-osx.app.zip

There were some things that I had to change in the usbpicprog archive:
-There were some cout<<wxString statements in the source code. This 
works in Linux and Windows, but the osx gcc compiler has some problems 
with it, so I had to change it to wxString.mb_str()
-on Windows, there was a function in libusb called "libusb_strerror", 
but it didn't exist in Linux so I included it in hardware.cpp inside 
#ifdef __WXGTK__, this had to be changed in #ifndef __WXMSW__
-The makefile installed /etc/udev/rules.d/26-microchip.rules by default. 
This is a Linux thing only, so it had to be removed for osx
-some things in buildmac.sh have been updated to build successfully.

I think it should build now on your system as well!

Kind regards,

Frans Schreuder
