## installing ftdi library
- libftdi (allows you to have .so lib binary and the ftdi.h header)
libftdi has been renamed to libftdi0, so either do:
-> `port install libftdi0` (note that ports installs the tool to /opt instead of /usr, see next note)
-> `brew install libftdi0`

## iceprog make error on "ftdi.h not found"
Note that Mac Ports installs to /opt instead of /usr, so change the makefile's first two lines to:
+
` LDLIBS = -L/usr/local/lib -L/opt/local/lib -lftdi -lm`
+
` CFLAGS = -MD -O0 -ggdb -Wall -std=c99 -I/usr/local/include -I/opt/local/include/`
+
Basically you are indicating where to find the lib with -L/opt/local/lib and where to find the .h with -I/opt/local/include/
## yosis make error on "<tuple> not found"
This is a compiler issue, i.e., you are probably running on clang and you can circumvent this error by compiling against another compiler.
Edit the Makefile of yosis and replace the two first lines for this, i.e., comment the first line (clang) and uncomment the second (gcc):
+
`#CONFIG := clang`

` CONFIG := gcc`
