Berry4All: Compiling pyusb from sources on OSX

Developer tools

You will need this to compile anything.

If you rungcc in a terminal and get "command not found", you need to install the compiler (OSX developer tools)):

You can either find them on the Tiger/Leopard DVD's, or:

• for leopard, xcode 3:

http://developer.apple.com/technology/xcode.html

• for tiger, xcode 2.5: (that was a pain to find !)

http://adcdownload.apple.com/Developer_Tools/xcode_2.5_developer_tools/xcode25_8m2558_developerdvd.dmg

You will need to register/login (free) to Apple dev. connection to download those.

You also need to install the libusb SDK first:

Download and install xcode

PyUSB

Install pyusb from sources:

Download pyusb (http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=145185&package_id=159677)
and extract it.

Then run those commands in a terminal (setup.py will run the compilation)

Sharing your binary

It would be great if you could send me your compile usb.so (in pyusb/build folder), so i could add it to the universal binary.
This way nobody would have to compile it manually again.
