+ | A quick and dirty hack may be possible, but it's sensitive code (recursively parsing using a derived class). I'm not this conservative usually, but my (catfish) advice is simply to use an earlier version of FPC that supports passing derived classes to var- and out-parameters. It is confirmed that bmp will compile on FPC 1.0, 2.0 and 2.2 - these are no longer supported. I can further confirm that FPC 2.4.0 will successfully compile bmp (tested on 32-bit and | ||

+ | Note that this file only supports the Intel Platform (Universal Binary i386 and x86_64) - if you are running an old PowerPC system obviously an x86 binary will not work, you have to compile a version suitable for your system yourself. | ||
+ | |||
+ | A better solution is to install the libusb_compat port from MacPorts or homebrew and then compile the libusbJava SDK source using the catfish Makefile. This will produce both 32-bit and 64-bit (if your system supports it) JNI library files, which can either be installed into the system or simply copied into the folder used for ZTEX Java applications. | ||
