Gecko Dotnet install guide or video for Mac OS x

[hawkeye2777]

Are you sure libftdi installed? That's odd how those are the only two results.

Anyway, try this: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=FQIJIFYL (if you can't use this, let me know what you can use)

[benny3t3]

I am testing it now, I did install libftdi

hmm... mabey I installed them in the wrong order?

Yes, I can use it.

It loads just like it would on windows if the usbgecko were not plugged in.

[hawkeye2777]

Did you install libusb-compat first?

EDIT: Try doing 'locate libusb'. If that doesn't find the library file for libusb, then libusb did not install (which libftdi depends on).

I wonder if MacPorts is the cause of the problem... you might have to turn to compiling from source if this doesn't work.

[benny3t3]

No, I installed libftdi first

locate libusb

when I try to run gecko dotnet, it says to use the windows version of mono to run .net  files, or something like that.

I can install the windows version I think... I'll try...

this is what happens when I use wine to run the Windows version and the version you compiled

wine: Install the Windows version of Mono to run .NET executables[/spoiler]

[hawkeye2777]

That's probably why libftdi doesn't show up. Try this (I think the commands are correct; if not, just refer to the package order):

Code Select Expand

sudo port install pkgconfig
sudo port install libusb
sudo port install libusb-compat
sudo port install libftdi

Afterwards, do port installed and see if those packages installed.

(Used http://guide.macports.org/#using.port as my source)

For your other post, Mono/.NET assemblies also have the ".exe" extension (so it's not just native win32 binaries that use it). Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think those assemblies are just like Java classes: they are compiled, then interpreted. So it shouldn't matter what platform the code was built on (provided the code is cross-platform). Running it using this command should work just fine:

Code Select Expand

mono gecko-dotnet.exe

[benny3t3]

AGG... I just installed sudo by accident, and I didn't make any Amins :o

[benny3t3]

I should have the results in about 20 minutes, I am trying it on my dad's mac right now, but I need to install everything.
(though I think I know how to fix mine after lots of tries and research)

[hawkeye2777]

Yeah, don't mess up your install by trying to do this; I'd feel bad by telling you to do commands that I don't even know what they do.

[benny3t3]

Don't worry about it, I'll figure it out, I just made the mistake of copy-pasting the whole 4 commands and the computer took it as        'sudo port install... sudo'

Don't ask me why... it just did.

Anyways, I'm just glad for the help, oh, and it'll be another hour, I have to install macports and it took quite longer to download than I expected... xD

Thank you Bow Master Winter Storm

[benny3t3]

Just... I would suggest putting a blank line between those 4 commands... or someone else might fall into the same situation.

[benny3t3]

here is what I am still seeing on my screen (and I included my wii too) xP dunno why

after installing all 4 of those items successfully.

[hawkeye2777]

Can you do 'locate libftdi' one more time? Also, does the main Gecko.NET window come up? Can you switch tabs (e.g. to the "About" or "Tools" tab) without a connection?

EDIT: As a last resort, if this doesn't work, I can think of another way you can use to hack codes. Not very convenient, but it'll work. Hopefully we won't come to that point.
