Compiling LabTool Application on Mac OSX

This note is how to compile the LabTool application on Mac OSX.

Requirements

Compiling the LabTool Application requires Qt. For Mac OSX, Qt version 5.3.0 has been tested. And also libusb is required too.

Compiling

  1. Install pkg-config and libusb from homebrew.

    $ brew install pkg-config libusb

  2. Prepare firmware.bin and place it inside labtool directory.

    $ cp fw/firmware.bin .

  3. Open the LabTool.pro project file in Qt Creator.

  4. Select the configuration to create a Debug or a Release target.

  5. Build project "LabTool"

Deploying

The LabTool Application can be executed directly from inside Qt Creator. If you have LabTool installed and want to replace that with the version you built then

  1. Go to build directory.

    $ cd build-LabTool-Desktop_Qt_5_3_0_clang_64bit-Release

  2. Add writable flag on libusb dylib file to change dependency while deploying.

    $ chmod +w LabTool.app/Contents/MacOS/libusb-1.0.0.dylib

  3. Run macdeployqt script with -dmg option.

    $ /{Your Qt Directory}/Qt/5.3/clang_64/bin/macdeployqt LabTool.app -dmg

  4. You have the disk image LabTool.dmg which contains LabTool Application. That's all.
