I think that [comport] was already updated to be able to use any dev
name. Also, I think that using [comport 0] and [comport 1] will work
on Mac OS X with USB-serial devices too.
Thanks for the report, good to know its working.

hi all,
sorry if this is old news and i just couldn't find it in the archives.
just started up again on an old project and was looking into getting
serial into osx. back in july 2004 martin pichlmair compiled a version
of comport for osx (just by adding to the malkefile) after i posted
about it but i didn't have any luck then. it loaded but couldn't find
the device. with a little more knowledge now i tried again with the
same binary (latest version pd on osx 10.4) and found that all i had
to do was create a symbolic link so that comport could find it:ln -s /dev/tty.USA19H2b2P1.1 /dev/ttyS0 (i just did "ls /dev/tty.*" to find the devicename)
for what i'm doing it's running as well as on linux! the comport
source should definitely be updated to include this. although i still
have all the source files from martin back then doing this is beyond
my expertise. i'd be more than happy to add a sub-patch to the comport
help for osx users thoughthanks again martin - sorry it took me so long to get around to
figuring it out!cheers, rene.
p.s. thanks to winfried ritsch for comport too!
