Building installer

[wrcgator]

I have the following installed as directed: XCode plus libtool, autoconf, automake and pkg-config

autoconf, automake and pkg-config were installed using brew from the command prompt. XCode and libtool were already installed.

I got the source tree and run make using the command in the instructions:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/martinpaljak/osx-ccid-installer make -C osx-ccid-installer

However, the make fails. I know next to nothing about the build tools on OSX which probably why I don't know how to resolve the following issues quickly. I am hoping for some pointers or a fix if one is required. Here is the build output:

Found solution.

I assumed that after typing 'libtool' at the command prompt and an exe ran, that libtool (as needed to build this project) was enough.

I ran brew install libtool and it installed.

I re-ran the make and it completed successfully.

I think it makes sense to give replicable instructions with brew install, keeping this open until I get to changing the README. PR-s welcome.

On a pretty vanilla MacBook Pro (generation 10) i did the following:

installed XCode from the app store. installed Brew: (thanks to https://www.howtogeek.com/211541/homebrew-for-os-x-easily-installs-desktop-apps-and-terminal-utilities/)

xcode-select --install ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)" brew doctor brew install caskroom/cask/brew-cask

Then I installed the dependencies in this order:

brew install autoconf brew install automake brew install pkg-config brew install libtool

Then I built the installer:

make -C osx-ccid-installer

Worked.

My end goal is to add our reader to the Info.plist as a solution until our reader submissions make it out to the linux and osx standard distributions. However, first attempt adding it to supportedreaders.txt was not enough. Reviewing logs and reading the CCID site to find out why.

Did you manage adding your reader? I would say that adding reader support should be directed to upstream project, re-building the osx installer itself should be easy and reliably repeatable process. If this is not the case, please re-open.
