Re: [Openocd-development] comment about FTDI D2XX and OS X

[Rick Altherr]

Yes, this should be changed. I mentioned this way back when. The layout for the OS X d2xx library is similar to the linux layout but is contained in a dmg rather than a tar.gz. The enable options for d2xx should be consolidated into a single option that detects the layout (windows vs linux vs OS X) and does the right thing. The end user shouldn't need to know that there is a difference.

I won't have time to work on this this week, but possibly next week.

Should we change this somehow ?

Came across this thread and it helped me... but with the latest release of openocd (release "1.0"), if you try to configure with d2xx drivers on OS-X, it will

say something like:




OS-X is ok.

Look for something like:

# Cause FTDICHIP does not supply a MAC-OS version
if test $host_os != linux-gnu && test $host_os != linux; then

and change to (inserting your OS-X version):

error: The (linux) ftd2xx library from FTDICHIP.com is linux only. Try --enable-ft2232-libftdi instead However the d2xx drivers do seem to still work... just hack the configure/configure.in file so that it assumes that your version of if test $host_os != linux-gnu && test $host_os != linux && test $host_os != darwin9.6.0; then
