How do I build libdivecomputer?

[henrik]

In the How to report dive computer download problems? topic, you provide libdivecomputer test binaries. These work great, but I'm unable to build these myself with working USB support. What do I do wrong here?

Code: Select all

$ cd libusb
$ ./configure --prefix /Users/henrik/local
$ make clean; make; make install
$ cd ../libdivecomputer
$ ./configure --prefix /Users/henrik/local LIBUSB_CFLAGS="-I${HOME}/local/include" LIBUSB_LIBS="-L${HOME}/local/lib -lusb-1.0"
$ make clean; make; make install
$ otool -L ~/local/bin/vyper
/Users/henrik/local/bin/vyper:
    /Users/henrik/local/lib/libdivecomputer.0.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1.0.0)
    /Users/henrik/local/lib/libusb-1.0.0.dylib (compatibility version 2.0.0, current version 2.0.0)
    /usr/lib/libobjc.A.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 228.0.0)
    /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 159.1.0)
$ ~/local/bin/vyper /dev/tty.SLAB_USBtoUART
DEVICE=/dev/tty.SLAB_USBtoUART, DELAY=500
suunto_vyper_device_open
TRACE (serial_posix.c:632, ioctl): Inappropriate ioctl for device (25)
suunto_vyper.c:144: Failed to set the DTR line.
suunto_vyper_test.c:38: Error opening serial port.
suunto_vyper_device_open

suunto_vyper.c:144: Failed to set the DTR line.
suunto_vyper_test.c:71: Error opening serial port.

Just as a comparison, here's the MacDive binary:

Code: Select all

$ otool -L ~/Downloads/vyper

You should email us directly, this forum is for MacDive discussion/support, not technical support for a third party library.

(Not intending to be rude, I would just like to keep the forum as clean as possible for people attempting to find solutions to common problems).

Sorry, I sent a PM to TnT a couple of days ago, but I guess I've been too impatient. Also, libdivecomputer doesn't seem to have a mailing list, and I thought others might be interested in this as well.

I'll try to be on topic from now on

All good, I'm sure he'll see it - he's quite busy these days!

There is a mailing list, if TnT hasn't gotten back to you later today I will dig up the details when I get home.

Maybe I could set up a subforum for more technical discussions like this? I would just really like to keep Support as clean as possible - I still get a large number of emails for missing drivers etc so the easier it is to find answers for that, the better.

I'm in contact with him now, thanks for your feedback.
