avrdude @6.1_2 dispatch/dispatch.h: No such file or directory

[lars.haulin@…]

This error has the same cause as ticket:38430

dispatch/dispatch.h is part of Grand Central Dispatch, which was introduced in 10.6

I was trying to build avrdude with Xcode 2.5 and OSX 10.4.11, got it to compile with this hack:

$ diff ft245r.c ft245r_original.c 
131c131,138
< #include <sys/semaphore.h>
---
> /* Mac OS X defines sem_init but actually does not implement them */
> #include <dispatch/dispatch.h>
> 
> typedef dispatch_semaphore_t  sem_t;
> 
> #define sem_init(psem,x,val)  *psem = dispatch_semaphore_create(val)
> #define sem_post(psem)                dispatch_semaphore_signal(*psem)
> #define sem_wait(psem)                dispatch_semaphore_wait(*psem, DISPATCH_TIME_FOREVER)

The diff you provided looks like it's reversed.

If you want support for Leopard and Tiger in avrdude, you should report the problem to the developers of avrdude. We don't want to get in the habit of forever maintaining patches for upstream problems.

Yes, I'm gonna side with Ryan on this one. Please report the bug to upstream.

Has duplicate #51566.
