Got some of the CI functional, but bindgen seems to be non-functional.

Were there any more files in that DMG from the vendor? Are you able to upload a zip of the contents?

There should be a WinTypes.h in there.
I tried some cross platform utilities to read the DMG, but I got gibberish :/

[EncinitasMechanic]

I uploaded the file in a zip called ftdi_files.zip. Honestly, i crated the bindings with the bindgen command line tool, and didn't try the built in option.

Small update, still working on this; I am trying to find a cross-platform solution to unpack the DMG so that I can support this long-term when the vendor pushes an update, because the vendor only provides the OSX source in a DMG.

so far I have tried 7z, dmg2img, and hfsutils; but none of them produce anything useful from the vendor's DMG file.

I will look around, too.

I have been working with making the bindgen work. I can confirm that it works on Intel macs when the files are in the correct place, and can cross compile on arm macs with pregenerated bindings. I cannot, however, make cross compiling on the arm macs work with bindgen. I get a error that it cannot find the ftd2xx.h. I suspect that it is a sysroot issue, from what I can tell, but I have not been able to find a fix.

Haste and lack of git experience lead to me messing up my branch this morning, and I haven’t had time to sort it out yet, which put a bit of a damper of my plans to work on it today.

I ran the strings command on that DMG and found that it is formatted in APFS. I confirmed that on my mac. I tried to use libfsapfs to open it, but with no success so far

Sorry for all comments at once, but I keep getting unexpected free moments. I was able to get the DMG mounted and files accessed on Linux using APFS-Fuse

[newAM]

What arguments did you use for apfs-fuse?

There's no specific docs for mounting DMGs, but it seems like this should work:

$ ./apfs-fuse -o uid="$(id -u)",gid="$(id -g)",allow_other ~/dl/D2XX1.4.16.dmg d2xx  
This doesn't seem to be an apfs volume (invalid superblock).
Unable to load container.

[EncinitasMechanic]

sudo ./apfs-fuse D2XX.1.4.24.dmg ../tmp

i appear to be using a newer DMG as well

[newAM]

Ahhh, that worked, apfs-fuse did not like the relative paths.

Good catch on the version!

I got this working in #32; static linking seems to be hitting a rust bug right now: rust-lang/rust#50220

Dynamic linking seems to work though.
