1.0.7 Coming for the Mac OS X?

[Dwain Wilder]

I recently downloaded BitPim and have been unsuccessful in getting it to
recognize my phone (been to the support pages, read that, not requesting
help for that). I'm wondering if a release of 1.0.7 might use later
Samsung Shu-470 firmware. For the record, here's mine:

BitPim 1.-.6.ppc - Test
This release was built using phone firmware u470.AH23

Macintosh:

Model Name: PowerBook G4 15"
Model Identifier: PowerBook5,6
Processor Name: PowerPC G4 (1.2)
Processor Speed: 1.5 GHz
Number Of CPUs: 1
L2 Cache (per CPU): 512 KB
Memory: 1.5 GB
Bus Speed: 167 MHz
Boot ROM Version: 4.9.1f3
Mac OS 10.5.8

Samsung SHU-470
V.u470. D16
PRL V.51512
ERI V. 5
H/W V. U470.04

Any joy out there in a new release? Thanks

Dwain

Dwain,
I'm sorry to say that there is little for you in this regard.
Historically, I have been in charge of the mac builds but development
has crawled to a halt.  This, coupled with a catastropic hard disk
failure on my surviving PPC machine has relagated the PPC builds to an
unfortunate end.  It is still posible to build it on your platform,
but it will take a couple of hours of your time.

Dwain,
First and foremost, install XCode tools.  This is not installed by
default but is available as a free download from Apple's Developer
site.
Next, check out http://bitpim.org/developer.html  This page has a
step-by-step list of libraries you'll need.  In each case, you'll want
to build them by hand and not through ports, fink, etc...

ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS match the correct version number to the one you
have installed.  The build will die with versions that are too old or
too new.

Over the past four years I have occaisionally posted notes on the
developer list regarding the finer points of building bitpim on OS X,
especially when it comes to APSW.  You will definitely want to search
through the archives for these posts and save yourself a lot of
headscratching.

Finally, when you hit a roadblock, remember that anyone who follows in
your tracks is going to hit the same roadblock.  Post questions to the
developer list so they are maintained in collective consciousness.

Good luck!

Sean
