OpenTX Companion MacOS

[WZ9V]

A few people on regroups are pooling together to try and sort out MacOS Companion builds. Just starting a thread here to catch any input from here.

The issues with Companion on OSx are solved. Now Companion compiles ok (versions from 2.0.12 and higher have been tested)

Next step, is how to include the required libs to make companion.app standalone.

Hi

I am a mac user but not having compiled anything before (don't know how to do it!) could you tell me whether there will be a later official release than the version on the site under downloads.

Regards

Dave

There's a oficial 2.0.13 version now

After downloading 2.0.13 for Mac and installing I am still getting this error during firmware flash:

avrdude: verifying ...
avrdude: verification error, first mismatch at byte 0x8000
0xf8 != 0xff
avrdude: verification error; content mismatch

avrdude done. Thank you.

----------------------------------------------------------

After that my radio won't come on. I have to go to my PC and flash the firmware again. After which it works fine.

I'm using a 9xr with the 128 chip. I don't know where the cable came from but it works with my PC so I don't think that is the issue. And it works right up to that point as well on the Mac. After downloading and installing the software on my Mac is there another place I need to install something or change a setting? I would rather use my Mac as it's newer and faster. I believe I was prompted to upgrade to 2.0.15 on opening but I can't remember. I do remember that the direct link to 2.0.15 did not work last night when I tried to install.

Trying to compile latest master from github. I recon its the 2.0.17 version.

I followed https://github.com/opentx/opentx/wiki/C ... structions.

It fails pretty quickly with:

You need SDL version 1.2, you have SDL 2.0 which is not compatible.

[strips]

I've tried to install SDL 1.2 by downloading the runtime here and by homebrew. Still no success.

Is there a way to point to the runtime or do I have to compile SDL 1.2 from source?
