I just realized today that the LSynth
source code builds fine on Mac OS X. Apologies if this has already been
established, but it’s news to me. I’d previously only been aware of the PC
binary version available here.
The Tk GUI works, too, if you tweak the path to the lsynthcp.exe executable
(I renamed it lsynthcp):
Now I’ve just got to learn the synthax better. The first chain I made (for
this model) was
wrapped around one gear properly, but the loop for the other gear extended in
the wrong direction. It was easy enough to spin it around, though:
Once I figure out how it works a little better, I might write a brief
tutorial how to use it with Bricksmith. I’m thinking some sort of editor
integration, like with
MLCad, might not be too difficult, either. Anyway, I’d be glad to provide
the binary if anyone would like to make it available for download.
One important debugging thing: it bit a bus error the first time I tried
making this chain. Turns out the uninitialized variable nonwhite was being
tested in the first strcmp in skip_synthesized() in lsynthcp/main.c. I
think line is the variable that is supposed to be tested instead; it made
the change and now it works fine.
One more step in my Macintosh LDraw compatibility campaign!

Wow. You’re a one-man Mac compatiblity machine. I almost wish I had a Mac so I
could play with all the toys you’ve ported.
