It is now compiled in SCA, but not installed by default. You need to select 'Personalize' in the Installer, and select 'ifd-egate', 'libusb' and 'Smartcard Reader autostart fix'.
This is for reference only.
To install libusb, you need to extract the files, configure it, make, make install:
wget http://switch.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/libusb/libusb-0.1.10a.tar.gz tar xfvz libusb-0.1.10a.tar.gz cd libusb-0.1.10a ./configure --prefix=/opt/smartcard make sudo make install cd ..
To install ifd-egate you need to extract the files, and use some environment variables to make sure it finds everything (or edit the compile options in the Makefile directly):
wget http://www.luusa.org/~wbx/sc/ifd-egate-0.05-patched.tar.gz tar xfvz ifd-egate-0.05-patched.tar.gz cd ifd-egate-0.05 export USB_CFLAGS="-I/opt/smartcard/include -I/System/Library/Frameworks/PCSC.framework/Headers" export USB_LDFLAGS="-L/opt/smartcard/lib -lusb -Wl,-framework -Wl,PCSC" make -f Makefile-OSX clean make -f Makefile-OSX sudo make -f Makefile-OSX install export USB_CFLAGS= export USB_LDFLAGS= cd ..
