   1 Building OpenOCD for OSX
   2 ------------------------
   3
   4 There are a few prerequisites you will need first:
   5
   6 - Xcode 5 (install from the AppStore)
   7 - Command Line Tools (install from Xcode 5 -> Preferences -> Downloads)
   8 - Gentoo Prefix (http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/gentoo-alt/prefix/bootstrap.xml)
   9   or
  10 - Homebrew (http://mxcl.github.io/homebrew/)
  11   or
  12 - MacPorts (http://www.macports.org/install.php)
  13
  14
  15 With Gentoo Prefix you can build the release version or the latest
  16 devel version (-9999) the usual way described in the Gentoo
  17 documentation. Alternatively, install the prerequisites and build
  18 manually from the sources.

  20
  21 With Homebrew you can either run:
  22   brew install [--HEAD] openocd (where optional --HEAD asks brew to
  23                                  install the current git version)
  24     or
  25   brew install libtool automake libusb [libusb-compat] [hidapi] [libftdi]
  26     (to install the needed dependencies and then proceed with the
  27      manual building procedure)
  28
  29
  30 For building with MacPorts you need to run:
  31   sudo port install libtool automake autoconf pkgconfig \
  32     libusb [libusb-compat] [libftdi1]
  33
  34 You should also specify LDFLAGS and CPPFLAGS to allow configure to use
  35 MacPorts' libraries, so run configure like this:
  36   LDFLAGS=-L/opt/local/lib CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/local/include ./configure [options]

  39 See README for the generic building instructions.

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