I'm currently working on a ZigBee project and I'm programming on an Mac with Mountain Lion (10.8) and using Eclipse IDE. To use my Zigbee Module via USB for Serial communication, I need this rxtxSerial.dll. I only have a Windows compatible version right now.
Is somebody able to provide the necessary link to me?
Thank you!

With all the latest updates as of 2012-11-15 (OSX 10.8.2) i needed to install glibtool via homebrew (http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew/) before I got the procedure below to work.
With homebrew installed and configured just do
brew install libtool
from a terminal. Then proceed as described below.

Edit
So, I managed to compile it for my self on OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2) and XCode (free from App Store).
Download rxtx-2.2pre2.zip and extract. Edit the "configure" file in the extracted directory and change the line that reads:
JAVAINCLUDEDIR=$JPATH/../../../Headers
to
JAVAINCLUDEDIR=/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/A/Headers
Then configure by doing
./configure
using a terminal in your working directory.
Now you will have a file named "Makefile" in your working directory, you need to edit the line in this file that reads:
LIBTOOLC = $(GLIBTOOL) --mode=compile $(CC) $(INCLUDES) $(CPPFLAGS) $(CFLAGS) $(VERBOSE_IOEXCEPTIONS) -c
to
LIBTOOLC = $(GLIBTOOL) --tag=CC --mode=compile $(CC) $(INCLUDES) $(CPPFLAGS) $(CFLAGS) $(VERBOSE_IOEXCEPTIONS) -c
And then run
make
You will now have RXTXcomm.jar in your working directory and librxtxSerial.jnilib in workingdirectory/i386-apple-darwin12.2.0
These are the files you need.
To work with them you may need to do
sudo mkdir /var/lock
sudo chmod 777 /var/lock
This approach worked for me.
PS. If you trust me you can get these files from here and here.
PPS. You may get:
WARNING: RXTX Version mismatch Jar version = RXTX-2.2-20081207 Cloudhopper Build rxtx.cloudhopper.net native lib Version = RXTX-2.2pre2
But it should still work.
/Edit
I am also trying to use rxtx on ML and while I have not have any success yet I did find this link. Java 6 and librxtxSerial.jnilib on Intel Mac OS X And even though it says nothing about ML, one of the comments states that it works with Lion if you tweak it a little bit.
I'll report back if I get it to work here.
