I've had luck getting it running on my MacBook Pro ... but does anyone know how I would go about getting it to use my modminer fpga cards, instead of the gpu or cpu?

When installing replace --enable-scrypt with --enable-modminer

There doesn't seem to be much of an option to tell it to install with --enable-modminer  ... using homebrew, it all seems pretty automated and whereas in Linux I'd type "./configure --enable-modminer" it doesn't recognize the command in mac.

you need to download the cgminer.rb file - right click this link and choose download

- that's where it has the enable option. change it as above
if you're familiar with the options on the command line you can see the autogen, make and install are in there too so you can set it up how you like.

then (if it's on your desktop):

brew install ~/Desktop/cgminer.rb

I'm looking at distributing binaries for both with MacMiner soon though, so if you prefer not to have to keep track of homebrew etc. you can always cross your fingers I'll get that done this weekend Wink
