Gecko Dotnet install guide or video for Mac OS x

[benny3t3]

Can someone please tell me how to install gecko dotnet on my Macbook???

It's been TOO long since I have been able to make a code.

Oh, and could someone tell me how to use my USBGecko on my mac 10.5? (leopard)

and where are these drivers I need to install?

[hawkeye2777]

I have no idea about drivers. I'm not sure how OS X handles that, so I can't offer input on it. Also, I don't have access to an OS X box, but I'll try to walk you through the process of getting Gecko.NET going. It might not work either, but I guess it's worth a try.

To start, you'll probably need to install the following prerequisites (in order):

libusb-compat-0.1
libftdi

Download the source archives (should be tar.gz or tar.bz2). To install them, untar the archives (tar -xf name_of_archive), then run the following in a terminal in the extracted directory:

Code Select Expand

./configure
make
make install

You might be able to find pre-built binaries for OS X too; I didn't look too much for them though. Once you do that, could you run this command in a terminal and paste the output?:

Code Select Expand

locate libftdi

It'll help me know where libftdi will get installed on OS X. Also, grab the Mono framework from here.

EDIT: Think I found an alternative to compiling libusb-compat and libftdi from source, check out the following links:

libusb-compat
libftdi (older version, 0.16, but should hopefully work ok)

Install them in order.

[benny3t3]

Thank you much, I'm on that right now.

[benny3t3]

Hmm... when I try to download the darwinports installer, it says server not found, and so you know i already have macports and wine installed on my mac.

this is the output of locate libftdi.

/opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/ports/devel/libftdi
/opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/ports/devel/libftdi/Portfile
note that I haven't updated the ports in a while though, I'll do that tomorrow.

[benny3t3]

do I still need to install those other files? I don't know, I can't install darwin ports because I can't download it.
and the command line commands would be different for macports if it is even applicable.

[hawkeye2777]

Looks like you can use macports to install both libftdi and libusb-compat. Like I said above, I've never used OS X, so I just googled for a way (other than compiling from source) to install the prereqs. Anyway, try this:

Code Select Expand

sudo port install libusb-compat
sudo port install libftdi

Also, can you do 'locate libftdi' after you install libftdi?

[benny3t3]

Thanks for googling for me! I wish I could do that today, but I am not the administrator so I'll have to wait till tommorrow again. I have mono installed now

[benny3t3]

All righty then, what I got after installing libftdi and ran locate libftdi and got:

/opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/ports/devel/libftdi
/opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/ports/devel/libftdi/Portfile

so same as before...

Any more tests? I'd be glad to help! I'm sure someone is going to be thankful for this guide, wether it works or not.

I'll check it out as soon as

sudo port selfupdate && sudo port upgrade outdated finishes

[hawkeye2777]

Hmm, I'm looking for where the libftdi library is installed to, but that's where the Portfile for it is located... can you try 'locate ftdi'? I'm looking for something like this:

Code Select Expand

/usr/lib/libftdi.so
/usr/lib/libftdi.so.1
/usr/lib/libftdi.so.1.17.0

Obviously, those are possible Linux locations. I know OS X is based off of Unix, but I'm pretty sure it has a different file structure.

Anyway, I'll try to make an OS X tarball of Gecko.NET and upload that for you to test... if OS X is like Linux in regards to the USB Gecko, it'll work out of the box, but you might need to run GDN as root (again, unsure how OS X handles devices: you just need read/write permissions on the USB Gecko).

EDIT: Can you list the directory contents of /usr/lib, /usr/local/lib, and /lib? (command is 'ls [directory]')

[benny3t3]

hee hee.... oops, okay, ftdi, not libftdi.

here is /usr/lib

[/spoiler]

here is /lib

well, it isn't there, there is no /lib

MOD EDIT: spoilered to save thread space

[giantpune]

i havent gotten geckoDotNet to work yet, but i honestly havent tried.  but heres what knowledge i can share with you...

I downloaded FTDIUSBSerialDriver_v2_2_14.dmg from the official site ( http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm ), and ran it and installed the kext.  now when my Gecko is plugged in, i can do "ls /dev/tty.usb*" in a terminal and it will show me "/dev/tty.usbserial-GECKUSB0".  To verify the kext is loaded, I can type "kextstat" and it will spit out a line

"90    0 0x21155000 0x8000     0x7000     com.FTDI.driver.FTDIUSBSerialDriver (2.2.14) <84 48 5 4 3 1>"

You can read & write to the gecko using this "dev/blablabla"  filename.  so, you can use the usb gecko for WiiLoad to run dols and whatnot on your wii right from your PC.  you can also read the output from there and get all the text that bootmii/priiloader/whatever is sending for debug purposes.

thanks giantpune,

unfortunetly, I don't think I have any use for wiiload and loading dols.

I just want to be able to make codes for now.

[hawkeye2777]

Well, here's the Gecko.NET tarball (with the OS X binaries for vdappc, etc. included):  http://www.mediafire.com/file/2o76vgnkqixcydn/gecko-dotnet_mono_osx_r16.tar.gz

Just extract it wherever and execute the .exe with Mono (CLI command should be 'mono gecko-dotnet.exe'). Mono should look for libftdi automatically and hopefully find it. However, if it can't find it, you will have to find it and create a file called gecko-dotnet.exe.config in the GDN directory. Then, open it up with a text editor and put in the following:

Code Select Expand

<configuration>
   <dllmap dll="ftdi" target="" />
</configuration>

In the target attribute, place the location of the libftdi library.

If it doesn't connect after that, I would suspect it's an issue with read/write permissions. But, if what giantpune says is right, then the USB Gecko should have read/write permissions for the normal user. I guess just try it and see.

By the way, could you post the output of 'locate ftdi'? You posted the other stuff, but it seems you forgot that. Thanks; this would be so much easier to make a guide for if I actually had access to OS X, oh well.

[benny3t3]

$ locate ftdi
/opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/ports/devel/libftdi
/opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/ports/devel/libftdi/Portfile

[benny3t3]

Could you send me another link? I can't use mediafire.
