- --------------------- Code Warrior and ProjectBuilder Builds -------------------
-
- contributed by Dmitry Markman <dmarkman@mac.com>
-
-
- 1.5 release of RXTX - GNU implementation of communication API for JAVA
- was released today:
- http://www.rxtx.org
-
- MAC OS X specific notes:
-
- System requirement:
- OS: MAC OS X 10.1
- 10.0.X users, (I didn't check it)
- expand file RXTX.pkg.sit.hqx (MACOSX_IDE/ForPackageMaker folder)
- try to install RXTX binaries from MACOSX_IDE/ForPackageMaker/RXTX.pkg
- and read AFTER INSTALLATION notes below
-
- ProjectBuilder 1.1 (from 10.1 tools)
- or
- CodeWarrior 7
-
- 1. go to MACOSX_IDE folder
-
-
- 2.ProjectBuilder development
- goto folder PB
- expand file LibSerial.pbproj.sit.hqx
- open LibSerial.pbproj project
- choose libSerial.jnilib target
- build
- after build you will find RXTXcomm.jar and libSerial.jnilib files in the
- build directory
- (if you can't find RXTXcomm.jar (unlikely) build RXTXcomm target manually)
-
- 3. CodeWarrior
- open libSerial.mcp project
- goto jnilib target
- build
- after build you will find RXTXcomm.jar and libSerial.jnilib files in the
- project's directory
- (if you can't find RXTXcomm.jar (unlikely) build java target manually)
-
-
- INSTALLATION:
- MANUALLY:
- copy RXTXcomm.jar -> /Library/Java/Extensions
- copy libSerial.jnilib -> /Library/Java/Extensions
- use sudo command if it's necessary
-
- PackageMaker package:
- CodeWarrior developers: before starting creating installation
- package do following step:
- copy RXTXcomm.jar into
- MACOSX_IDE/ForPackageMaker/Install/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/
- Home/lib/ext
- copy libSerial.jnilib into
- MACOSX_IDE/ForPackageMaker/Install/usr/lib/java folder
-
- open file RXTX.pmsp
- fix absolute path to Install and Resources folder
- it should point to MACOSX_IDE/ForPackageMaker/Install
- and MACOSX_IDE/ForPackageMaker/Resources
- respectively
- create package - PACKAGE's NAME MUST BE RXTX.pkg
- (if you want to change Readme or Welcome messages you may edit
- files Readme.rtf or Welcome.rtf from
- MACOSX_IDE/ForPackageMaker/Resources folder)
-
- AFTER INSTALLATION VERY IMPORTANT
- check existence of the folder /var/spool/uucp
- if you don't have it create it with command
- sudo mkdir /var/spool/uucp
- permissions should be: drwxrwxr-x
- if they are not do command
- sudo chmod 775 /var/spool/uucp
-
- YOU should be a member of the uucp group
- you can check it with command
- niutil -readprop / /groups/uucp users
- you should see your name in output of the niutil command
- if you don't do following:
- sudo niutil -appendprop / /groups/uucp users <yourname>
- substitute <yourname> with your user's name
- for example if your user name is peter:
- sudo niutil -appendprop / /groups/uucp users peter
-
- NOTES: RXTX.pkg should create uucp folder and insert your name in
- uucp group automatically
-
- THAT's IT!!!!!!!!!
- if you have any problem, don't hesitate, send me email

- --------------------- Gnu Tool Builds -----------------------
-
- If you are going to try building rxtx on Mac OS X, we recommend you use
- rxtx 1.5. 1.4 would require substantial modification to the Makefile to
- get the build to work.
-
- Mac OS X has some issues with libtool at this time. This makes building
- rxtx much more difficult.
-
- The current solution is to take an automatically generated Makefile and then
- manually edit it.
-
- One such Makefile is provided to help build rxtx. The file will probably
- need to be edited to match your system configuration. If you would like to
- add more information for other Mac OS X users please email
-
- taj@www.linux.org.uk.
-
- We are sorry the build process is not easier. A great deal of effort was
- put into trying to automate the builds without luck.
