[Discuss-gnuradio] Intel Mac GNURadio Install Update Soon

[Michael Dickens]

I finally got access to an Intel Mac for a couple of days last week,  
and sometime in the next couple of days I'll be posting updates to  
the install scripts to handle the needs of both PPC and Intel OSX  
installs.  It wasn't really that hard since I've done it all before,  
and I can say definitely that a MacBook Pro (Core Duo 2.0 GHz) is  
much faster than a dual G5 @ 2.0 GHz (like about 2-2.5x faster in  
compile time alone).  Very impressive machines these new Intel Macs.   
The Intel Macs also bring the USB functionality up to 32 MBps, which  
is on par with Linux at least w/r.t. GNURadio's USRP.  The only  
significant runtime glitch that I can find is that the FUSB_darwin  
code needs to do endianness translation now, but that's relatively  
simple to add (just difficult to test w/o an Intel Mac around to test  
on; any volunteers?). - MLD
