Hi -

Due to the recent demise of my Thinkpad, I'm not working on a MacBook
Pro. Things here are different but still very similar. But pretty fun.

I'm just getting around to building owfs for the first time on MacOSX
and have run into a couple of problems. I would like to know if anyone
else is using MacOSX for their development. There's at least one
outstanding fix needed for the Python module and I'd like to get
moving on getting it done.

The first problem is pretty minor but I'm not sure why it's happening.
The generated src/man/Makefile, there's a problem:

fog:~/src/owfs peter$ make
Making all in src
Making all in include
make  all-am
Making all in man
Makefile:531: *** missing separator (did you mean TAB instead of 8
spaces?).  Stop.
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
fog:~/src/owfs peter$

Looking at the Makefile, the owtcl.n is on a line all by itself
preceeded by 8 spaces. Very strange but I should be able to figure out
why and fix it.

The second problem is a bit more involved. The
module/owlib/src/c/ow_dir.c file contains a nested function in
FS_typedir around line 441. Nested functions aren't supported on
MacOSX. Before I make changes to this file and possibly screw things
up, I wanted to find out if nested functions are needed for a
particular reason. And if the solution is as simple as moving the
action function outside the scope of the FS_typedir function. Let me
know...

Thanks!

- Peter
