That Scriot won't work because it's creating volume on the Raspberry Pi. It says secpificailly this is for crossing-compiling on a mac for Raspberry Pi. That script won't run on a Mac for sure.

Have you simply read these statements & believe them to be wrong, or actually tried them?

"That Scriot won't work because it's creating volume on the Raspberry Pi. It says secpificailly this is for crossing-compiling on a mac for Raspberry Pi. That script won't run on a Mac for sure."

Actually, it does run fine on a mac.

I've just run that first line "hdiutil ...." on a macbook

& it has created a sparse image of < 1K & then mounted it in Finder. It's visible in the sidebar too. I can now write files just fine to that image. It's a useful feature & I've used that idea (for OS X, not Linux stuff) several times over the years.

As I'm interested in RPi, I prefer to build natively on RPi where possible, but if I can find some time, I'll install Yagarto again (mine was an older version). Obviously build times will be faster on a mac.
