OS X Port

greenonline opened this issue · comments

I loved this application, and it was recommended in this video course on YouTube, 9-Axis IMU LESSON 1: Introduction to Nine Axis Sensors and Inertial Measurement Units with Arduino. However, I needed a version to run on OS X.

I have managed to get this running on OS X with all of the Qt5 and Qwt frameworks bundled in the application, so it should work out of the box. I works on OS X 10.13.6 and other versions will be tested shortly.

It is available here: serialplot_OS_X_port

A detailed document of the process is available here Porting serialplot to OS X
and a brief HOWTO version here HOWTO: Port serialplot to OS X.

Hopefully I am not stepping on anyone's toes in making this port, and I would like to have your permission to have it up on Github. I could even provide OS X support for it, if I am able to.

@greenonline this is great.

You don't need my permission as long as you comply with the GPL license. In short; source code you modified and binaries you distribute should be under GPL license and you should communicate this with your recipients. SerialPlot have a text in "About" dialog mentioning the GPL license. As long as you don't remove it from your binaries everything is fine.

If I can test this I will put a link on the "hackaday" page of the project, to your repository.

If you need my help regarding the build issues I'm happy to help. Unfortunately I have no experience with osx so I may not help you with issues specific to the osx.
