[Vm-dev] Serial Port not working on Mac

[Guillermo Polito]

Hi all, thanks for the answers,

First, we managed to debug the VM using Xcode (thanks Esteban :)).
We found that when the serial plugin is compiled as external plugin in Mac,
the VM does not load it because it cannot find the setInterpreter function,
which is strange. We will continue digging here...

John,
I checked the code of sqMacSerialExtended and uses Carbon libraries.
Isn't the VM moving out from it because it's not supported any more?
Besides, in Mac we can use unix libraries like termios...

Tim,
Yes, we know. We just wanted to do a tutorial on playing with arduino and
we saw that the serial plugin was not working... We thing that
independently of what we are doing with it, serial port should be fixed :)
