Hi Jack,

I got the node to run under macosx as well. When compiling I had an
error with two uint declarations in camera1394.h which I fixed by
substituting with unsigned int. I had problems with the default mode
settings, so without changing these (or setting them as inital
parameters) the process got locked up. I guess this is a camera specific
problem. Also there is one notorious problem with libdc1394 on mac and
that is a warning message that occurs for every sampled frame saying
"libdc1394 warning: packet .. had error status 0". That can be fixed by
commenting the respective line and recompile library however, so that is
also no shortcoming of the node. Anyway, will continue trying..

Cheers,
Klaus
