Running on x86

Thanks for the great library, is it possible to build this on anything else other than a reaspberry pi ? I get wiringPiSPI missing errors on x86. wiringPiSPI looks specific to a raspberry pi.

Hey thanks for checking out the library! Yes wiringPi is specific for a raspberry pi and hardware unrelated to comma.ai pandas. This project was all for a recent experiment and lots of hardcoding made its way into the build.

I just made a branch named "portable" that you can check out. This was just able to compile on my x86 macos laptop, though I haven't tested it with any hardware.

As a forewarning, this library is super experimental and largely incomplete compared to anything provided by comma.ai. The goal of this library was for a very specific use case. That said I'd be happy to help you get things running, but expect support to be minimal since I'm effectively the sole developer

Thanks! the portable branch got built perfectly. I wanted to just get the gps readings from my grey panda since the code is master branch of openpilot was not working.
Unfortunately, it seems like I am not able to get gps readings with this library also and I think my gps antenna is broken.
Thanks again for support!
