Multiplatform support #24

Closed kost closed 4 years ago

kost commented 4 years ago

openFPGA loader looks promising, but I see it is targeted to Linux with glibc only. Do you have any plans to port it to something else?

Current problems I see are:

dependency on udev without ifdefs and cmake option
dependency on argp which is glibc specific (musl libc does not have it by default, also other OSes than Linux)

trabucayre commented 4 years ago

For argp I have answered in #23. It's currently linux only because I don't have windows or mac for trying (if someone could test/fix I'm open) but yes it's possible to have udev (and consequently -d /dev/ttyXXX) optional to avoid dependency to this library.

I have pushed option to disable udev support and corresponding cli option. Does that seem correct to you? Thanks for your remarks

Thank

Thanks on modifications!

Pull request which implements Mac OS X support: https://github.com/trabucayre/openFPGALoader/pull/25

I guess you have access to Windows or Mingw, so that is not needed.

trabucayre commented 4 years ago

I've just applied your PR. Thank you again! In fact, I have no windows at all and no one around me either.

If you think this issue is resolved, can I close it? Thanks

kost commented 4 years ago

Thanks! I think you can. Regarding Windows support, you can check how I managed to cross compile fujprog for Windows: https://github.com/kost/fujpro

You don't need to have windows since you can cross compile from linux.
