GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. svn checkout http://firmware-mod-kit.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ 
firmware-mod-kit-read-only
2. cd  firmware-mod-kit-read-only/trunk
3. ./extract_firmware.sh ~/Downloads/tomato.trx ~/custom-tomato

What is the expected output? 

    successfully extracted tomato.trx to ~/custom-tomato

What do you see instead?

    coolaj86@AJs-MacBook-Air:trunk $ cat extract.log 
    gcc -I. -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -O2   -c -o asustrx.o asustrx.c
    asustrx.c:74:24: error: ppc/endian.h: No such file or directory
    asustrx.c: In function ‘main’:
    asustrx.c:291: warning: format ‘%d’ expects type ‘int’, but argument 5 has type ‘long unsigned int’
    asustrx.c:291: warning: format ‘%d’ expects type ‘int’, but argument 5 has type ‘long unsigned int’
    make: *** [asustrx.o] Error 1
    coolaj86@AJs-MacBook-Air:trunk $ arch
    i386

What version of the product are you using?

    trunk

On what operating system?

    OS X Lion

Please provide any additional information below.

It's probably about time to drop OS X PPC support altogether isn't it?
Who's using a mac from before 2005 these days? I guess there are still a few, 
but it seems that most mac people upgrade every few years or run Linux.

Accepted, but low priority; will fix when I get time.

I saw we should NEVER worry with this UNLESS we get some new contributor who 
actually has an OS X box and wants to keep it maintained. After all, people can 
run a linux distro in a VM ...

Yes, we had said that previously, but you sent me an email about this which I 
took as an indication that you wanted it fixed. :)

If that wasn't your intention, then we should: 1) Drop OS X support altogether, 
or 2) Leave this open until we or someone else can fix and maintain it. I'm 
fine with either, but personally lean towards #1.

Other comments deleted for clarity.

Agreed. For now, OS X support removed. Recommendation for users is install 
Ubuntu in a VM (free, free).

Gotcha, sorry for the confusion. I'll clean out any lingering OS X specific 
stuff in the code and add an explicit statement in the wiki that only Linux is 
supported.

Thanks, likewise I'll update the old docs on bitsum.com to say no OS X ..
