Mac Support

[baclark774]

The build scripts don't seem to work for MacOSX. Is this support possible?

Hi, the current scripts do not support OS X. We plan on supporting OS X in the near future.

Considering buying this. Any news on Mac support?

Anyone tried this device on Mac OSX?

Doesn't work on Big Sur (Intel), but maybe a newer libusb will fix the problem according to https://github.com/libusb/libusb/wiki/FAQ#How_can_I_run_libusb_applications_under_Mac_OS_X_if_there_is_already_a_kernel_extension_installed_for_the_device_and_claim_exclusive_access

OTOH it seems like maybe claiming the device shouldn't be needed when it's just HID we're using; libhidapi works well enough on MacOS for similar purposes on other devices.

Edit: turns out the code already has an hidapi implementation, with a bit of massaging I got it to build on MacOS and it seems to be working. Perhaps I'll manage to make a diff showing the changes I made to get it to build, but I never use Github so I dunno.

Support for MacOS Big Sur and later fixed in PR #37, adding a comment here to make it easier to find.
