Hi all,
I just finished compiling and installing a cross-compiler and brickOS to my RCX
from my PowerBook with Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.3 and a USB IR tower. Here's a blog
posting about my experience:
http://marc.abramowitz.info/archives/2006/01/07/building-brickos-tools-on-mac-os-x/
Note that I was able to install brickOS to my RCX (using lejosfirmdl), but I
haven't yet figured out any way of downloading .lx files to it, since "dll"
seems to not have Mac USB support. There is some room to improve brickOS a bit
to make it easier to use on a Mac and I'd volunteer a bit of time to work on it.
I hope that this doc is helpful to somebody out there.

Thank you! It will be. Intallation is one reason I've never moved into
BrickOS (despite some people urging me to) on the Mac.

Perhaps one of the brickOS folks wants to work with me to turn this into a HOWTO
that can go on the brickOS site?
I also could take a stab at modifying the "dll" program to support USB on the
Mac.
If any folks from brickOS are interested, email me.
