There are a few prerequisites you will need first:
-- Xcode 4 (install from the AppStore)
-- Command Line Tools (install from Xcode 4 -> Preferences -> Downloads)
-- MacPorts (http://www.macports.org/install.php)
+- 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.
-libtool, automake, autoconf, pkg-config and libusb can be easily
-installed via MacPorts:
- sudo port install libtool automake autoconf pkgconfig libusb [libusb-compat]
-or with Homebrew:
- brew install libtool automake libusb [libusb-compat]
+
+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]
-If you're using Homebrew, no custom flags are necessary.
See README for the generic building instructions.
-If you use an FTDI-based adapter and have the FTDI kext installed, you
-will need to unload it prior to using OpenOCD:
+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
