Building OpenOCD for OSX
------------------------

There are a few prerequisites you will need first:

- Xcode 5 (install from the AppStore)
- Command Line Tools (install from Xcode 5 -> Preferences -> Downloads)
- Gentoo Prefix (http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/gentoo-alt/prefix/bootstrap.xml)
or
- Homebrew (http://mxcl.github.io/homebrew/)
or
- MacPorts (http://www.macports.org/install.php)


With Gentoo Prefix you can build the release version or the latest
devel version (-9999) the usual way described in the Gentoo
documentation. Alternatively, install the prerequisites and build
manually from the sources.


With Homebrew you can either run:
brew install [--HEAD] openocd (where optional --HEAD asks brew to
install the current git version)
or
brew install libtool automake libusb [libusb-compat] [hidapi] [libftdi]
(to install the needed dependencies and then proceed with the
manual building procedure)


For building with MacPorts you need to run:
sudo port install libtool automake autoconf pkgconfig \
libusb [libusb-compat] [libftdi1]

You should also specify LDFLAGS and CPPFLAGS to allow configure to use
MacPorts' libraries, so run configure like this:
LDFLAGS=-L/opt/local/lib CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/local/include ./configure [options]


See README for the generic building instructions.

If you're using a USB adapter and have a driver kext matched to it,
you will need to unload it prior to running OpenOCD. E.g. with Apple
driver (OS X 10.9 or later) for FTDI run:
sudo kextunload -b com.apple.driver.AppleUSBFTDI
for FTDI vendor driver use:
sudo kextunload FTDIUSBSerialDriver.kext
