Hey Sean,
I compiled the HSS1394 library on OS X a while ago, just forgot to
document it for you, sorry!
I had to add this to Mixxx's SConscript under the hss1394 block:
env.Append(LINKFLAGS = '-framework IOKit')
Then I had to put the following files in /usr/local/include/hss1394/ :
HSS1394.h
HSS1394Types.h
and I copied the library into /usr/local/lib :
libhss1394.a
This library .a file was the output of an XCode compile of the HSS1394
library, and was originally output as
HSS1394_R1-00/HSS1394/code/builds/osx/HSS1394lib/build/Release/libHSS1394lib.a
(I had to rename it to lowercase to get Mixxx to build.)
I'm hesistent to put these files in mixxx-maclib because we don't
currently use mixxx-maclib at all. (Search our SConscript if you don't
believe me) :)
Can you try writing a SConscript for the HSS1394 library and putting
it all in our lib/ directory instead? I don't want to force Windows +
Mac people to bother with compiling this obscure dependency. If we
could build it along with Mixxx, then that's probably the best
solution we can have for now.
Thanks,
Albert
