Any way to compile OpenOBEX under Mac OSX?

Description

I've been trying to compile OpenOBEX for OSX 10.5 (with the aim of using ObexFS with MacFuse? to replace the Default OSX Bluetooth client). I have run into several errors (that i could somehow "fix') but now i'm running into "missing symbols" and I'm starting to wonder how vain my efforts are. So, is it possible to port this code to OSX... and how hard will it be, knowing that I am a C noob. Feel free to give me some tips, or on the other hand to close this ticket, if you feel that this is totally inappopriate (yet it may help someone else with the same question)

Works for me. OpenOBEX works without tweeks, ObexFTP needs some configuration. But the transports are limited:

  • Serial cable: should work
  • IrDA: unknown
  • Bluetooth: does not work
  • USB: works using libusb port

I guess you want BT and that wont happen.

Thanks for your swift answer! ... I guess they'll be no FUSE OBEXFS on osx then...

It is certainly possible to program for bluetooth for MacOS X (although the extra-long function names in Objective-C style are not that much fun to type): http://developer.apple.com/documentation/DeviceDrivers/Reference/IOBluetooth/index.html

Anyone with access to MacOS X and interested in this should sign up as tester with me. Until then, I leave this bug open.
