When building this project on Mac OS X, using the Makefile, an error is reported and the build is terminated... This project appears to build using the "build.sh" script for some reason. So, it appears that something is declaring PORT_PREFIX within that script (though, I don't see that!).

Makefile build is failing in src/propeller-load.c with the following errors:

src/propeller-load.c:292:23: error: use of undeclared identifier 'PORT_PREFIX'
ShowPorts(PORT_PREFIX);
^
src/propeller-load.c:294:32: error: use of undeclared identifier 'PORT_PREFIX'
ShowConnectedPorts(PORT_PREFIX, baud, portFlags);
^
src/propeller-load.c:300:28: error: use of undeclared identifier 'PORT_PREFIX'
int sts = InitPort(PORT_PREFIX, port, baud, portFlags, actualport);

NOTE: On request from Parallax, I'm attempting to update the Makefile to allow building for Mac OS X version 10.6 and later (Forum poster's request). Until the Makefile actually can build on OS X, I'm not able to complete that task for Parallax.

It would be incredible if we could print to stderr from the Propeller. Similar to the way the -q switch works for sending an error code, perhaps a special byte sequence will toggle between stdout and stderr?

The propeller-load requires eeprom_cache.dat to load .ecog drivers to the upper eeprom memory area but the driver and its source are missing from the build process.
The binary .dat file shipped with the old Parallax GCC build still works, but either the driver should be restored and properly built or propeller-load fixed to not use it. As it is now, the loader fails.
