If there were a MacPorts package that also provided updated versions of all the pieces from opensc-project + smartcard sniffer + pam_krb5, I would be very interested. This, I don't know. What I wanted to find out was how hard it would be to build a functional pcsclite daemon/client libs and CCID libs from source on OSX, today.
The conclusion was: with just a few tools considered basic on e.g. GNU/Linux and one lib from macports: very easy indeed.
I basically recall that I needed automake/autoconf (probably ok from the XCode command-line tools, not sure, I had a bunch of ports already installed), and libusb..So that's easy..
I suspected as much but since Ludovic has just confirmed this in a previous post here: pcsc-lite was kept up-to-date in terms of OSX as well as the other platforms, for internal reasons, but nevertheless: that work is already done.
The pcsc-lite I maintain is far from the pcsc-lite Apple forked some years ago. They are not equivalent. The "official" pcsc-lite do not support securityd, do not support both 32 and 64-bits drivers, do not support Roseta, etc. I do NOT recommand (or even suggest) to use the official pcsc-lite on Mac OS X. As I wrote in my previous email a lot of work is needed to merge the 2 versions. Bye -- Dr. Ludovic Rousseau
