[Lcdproc] LCDproc on MacOS?

[Eric Pooch]

Ethan,

LCDproc works fine on Mac OS X and compiles correctly.  Also, all of  
the lcdproc client functionality has been ported.  Any RS232 serial  
display should work assuming you have a USB-> RS232 adapter and the  
appropriate kernel extension for that adapter (most of them are  
available for Mac OS X).  You will not be able to use USB displays  
that have an lcdproc driver that uses libusb unless you actually  
compile and install libusb on Mac OS X.  I have never done that but I  
assume it would work.
