Wii swapforce portal issues with linux build

[ghost]

The thing compiled but I can't detect the wii swapforce portal. When I do ./editor -p -o WHY.bin it just spouts out:

"Reading Skylander

1256:26716 7531:2 7531:1 5168:336 0007:0006:00 7531:1 7531:1 3034:33138 7531:2 7247:101 0005:0002:00 7531:1 16700:8453 0002:0002:00 7531:1 7531:1 1256:26716 7531:2 7531:1 5168:336 0007:0006:00 7531:1 7531:1 3034:33138 7531:2 7247:101 7531:1 16700:8453 7531:1 7531:1 Cannot Find Portal USB".

And When I run as root i get:

"Reading Skylander

7531:2 7531:1 5168:336 0007:0008:00 7531:1 7531:1 3034:33138 7531:2 7247:101 0005:0002:00 7531:1 16700:8453 0002:0002:00 7531:1 7531:1 7531:2 7531:1 5168:336 0007:0008:00 7531:1 7531:1 3034:33138 7531:2 7247:101 7531:1 16700:8453 7531:1 7531:1 Unable to write to Portal".

Does this mean anything? And can I do anything?

Unfortunately I haven't looked at this code in years, and I no longer have a Wii Portal.

I would try one of the linux forks of this project, as I've never tried to build this on linux. I'm sure others have done a way better job than I getting this to work under linux. If you don't have luck with one of those ports, let me know and I'll see if I can find out what's happening in my code.

I can't even remember where that debug information comes from, I do remember releasing a debugging version for someone who couldn't detect their portal, but it gave much less output so really looked like a hardware problem, this looks like it is reading the skylander but then failing.

this is the same output with jtp10181 and capull0
