Linux and Mac OS X support about osvr-cpi HOT 6 OPEN

There is some code in the OSVR USBSerial library that might be useful in avoiding hard-coding the serial port. See also the osvr_list_usbserial app for an example usage.

Nice, ChristophHaag@a2303e1 works like a charm (on linux at least).

Thanks for the tip.

@ChristophHaag I'm glad it worked for you!

If you're searching for a device with a known VID/PID, you can pass those values as arguments to enumerate() and it will return a list of matching devices (instead of all of the devices). That'd save you having to check the results yourself.

Yes, that works better. It's a pretty limited iterator though, for example it doesn't implement the necessary stuff for std::distance to work, so you still have to manually iterate over the entries in order to count them. But that's not a big deal, works fine.

For fswatch (I wrote fswatcher first, but that's another project without Mac OS X support so far) apparently you need to run autotools and configure first for the cmake project to work. Looks like that's going to be a bit of a hassle to set up to work on multiple operating systems in the cmake project. I tried it out with the library installed to the system (when the directory containing libfswatch/ is in the include path) and it seems to work fine. After the file is changed it prints inotify_rm_watch: Invalid argument but it probably doesn't hurt and osvr_server can't be killed with ctrl+c anymore. But it works...

Hello ChristophHaag@ Any chance to have your changes merged to this project?

Best,

from osvr-cpi.

I have not started to make pull requests, because several of these changes break the functionality on windows or are at least likely to not work on windows.
