With help from this thread I have been able to get cgminer compiled and running on my mac (10.12 sierra), however, even though the GekkoScience USB stick is recognized, it does not seem to actually get used when cgminer executes.
cgminer 4.9.2
%> ./cgminer -ndevs
[2017-09-19 20:17:13.891] USB all: found 11 devices - listing known devices
.USB dev 0: Bus 20 Device 6 ID: 10c4:ea60

When run I get a message that no devices are detected.

I'm not sure what steps to take next in getting cgminer to access the Stickminer
