How to cross-compile on Mint for Mac?

[jimallyn]

I recently learned about dmrconfig, and aid to programming digital radios such as my Baofeng RD-5R. The github page says it can be compiled for Linux, Mac, and Windows. For Linux and Mac, the procedure is pretty simple:

git clone https://github.com/sergev/dmrconfig
make
make install

I was able to compile it for Linux, but there's a guy on the RD-5R Facebook page who runs a Mac, and he insists github is beyond his capabilities. I'd like to compile it for him and send him the binaries. I know cross-compiling is possible, but I have no idea how to compile for Mac on my Linux box. Anybody got hints/tips/advise/whatever?

I think this may be what you need: https://github.com/tpoechtrager/osxcross

that's something that I've never got working on my Linux PCs:
- had to resort to programming my Baofeng UV-5RC on an Win-Xp machine.

did get the Prolific Driver to work on Win-7 as well, but that's another story.

Windows? Oh, how awful! Are you using CHIRP? I've been using it ever since I got a Wouxun (and now a Boafeng) radio. Works flawlessly on Mint.

Prolific sucks. The FTDI drivers are built into the kernel, and it works every time.

Thanks, I'll have a look at it.
