   • NOTICE: For version 1.7.3.3 the xio-termios.c file had a function call on line 359 that passed the parameter speed as the type of speed_t. According the interface for this function, defined in the xio-termios.h header file, this paramter is supposed to be an unsigned int. This is a strange error that only occurs with the mac version during the intial build with make. It is simply patched by changing the speed_t type of the speed parameter to the unsigned int that the interface is expecting.
6. A socat binary will be in the root of the socat repo
7. Optional make install (will install socat into your path)
