GPSBabel and Garmin Etrex VistaCx - Version: 1.3.0, 7/4/2006 02:42PM PST

I had been trying for weeks to get MapSource 6.11.1 to transfer waypoints, tracks and routes to and from my Garmin Etrex VistaCx (via Windows XP Pro, Virtual PC 7.0.2, OSX 10.4 and my PowerBook G4's USB port). Saving and transfering gdb files using GPS Babel finally provided the bridge. Not much documentation, but reasonably self explanatory.

Here's what I had to do to get it to kind of run. I took everything in the extracted "gpsbabel-1.2.7" folder (except the folder macgpsbabel) and put it inside of a folder named gpsbabel. Then I went into the folder macgpsbabel and double clicked MacGPSBabel.pbproj. I hit build and go in XCode. Everything built fine but when the app runs it says:
Applescript error:
sh: line 1: /Users/bruce/Desktop/gpsbabel-1.2.7/macgpsbabel/build/MacGPSBabel.app/Contents/Resources/gpsbabel: is a directory (126)
Anyone got a solution?

1st attempt to build failed. I found from the Xcode tools error log that the macgpsbabel folder had to be renamed gpsbabel and the root folder also had to be named gpsbabel. I renamed them and tried again. No errors were logged and a MacGPSbabel.app was created, complete with custon icon. However the "get info" showed it as v. 1.2.4beta07242004. I got an error launching it that said the application was "damaged or incomplete". I'm not a programmer, but given decent instructions for a "makefile" or a GUI like Xcode tools, I'll at least give it a try. Though Mr. Lee was a bit harsh, I too appreciated the version 1.2.5 download that was pre-compiled. Since presumably the developer has to do this anyway to test it, why not just post the compiled app and include the source separately or a link to it on the sourceforge site. It would make it a LOT easier on us non-programmers. I guess for now I'll stick to v.1.2.5 as it has worked OK the few times I've needed it.
