OS X

Getting it to work on Mac (OS X Lion, Xcode 4.2):

0. Install the dependencies: libFTDI and FTGL
1. Open the Xcode project in the Builds/MacOSX folder
2. Add the following header search paths: /usr/local/include, /usr/local/include/freetype2
3. Change the base SDK to Latest Mac OS X (Mac OS X 10.7)
4. Change the architecture to 64-bit intel
5. If you're using the Intan Demo Board, you'll need to run $ sudo kextunload /System/Library/Extensions/FTDIUSBSerialDriver.kext in a bash terminal
6. Run the application

What if I accidentally merge two Xcode projects?

An Xcode ".xcodeproj" file is actually a folder. It must contain a text file called "project.pbxproj" in order to run. If you have two different versions of the project file that conflict when you try to merge them, Xcode won't be able to open it.

To fix the problem, you can just copy the raw project.pbxproj file from the repository, and place it into a blank folder. Now give the folder an .xcodeproj extension, and you're done.

There might be an easier way to do this, but this method definitely works.
