Has anyone attempted to program Micropendous on Mac OS X?

Unfortunately I don't have a MAC to test the following on but the
basic process is to install CrossPack then install XPorts to compile
and install DFU-Programmer.

CrossPack:

FreakLabs has a useful tutorial with a MAC section:

Yes, I've been programming Micropendous under OS X for some time now. CrossPack is the compiler I've used and I'm the maintainer for the Fink version of dfu-programmer.

Thanks for the replies. Crosspack looked quite old and I'm a homebrew
user, so I ended up finding an unofficial brew formula to build the
avr toolchain and using brew to install the rest too:

git clone https://github.com/larsimmisch/homebrew-alt.git LibraryAlt
brew install LibraryAlt/avr/avr-libc.rb
brew install avrdude dfu-programmer

The toolchain works, but I'm waiting for my board from NooElec so I
haven't been able to test on hardware yet.
