I need to install gpsd (cli version not gui) to my Yosemite Mac.

I downloaded this file:
http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/gpsd/gpsd-3.11.tar.gz

I found these old instructions how to do install it, but these instructions might be too old and first row looks really weird:
http://www.mp3car.com/obdii-gps-logger/132461-gpsd-on-osx.html

Code:
./configure --prefix=$HOME/gpsd/
make
make install

You need the serial device entry to connect to your gps receiver. On OSX, it's likely to be /dev/cu.{something}, especially for bluetooth devices. In a terminal, run:
Code:
cd ~/gpsd/sbin
./gpsd -b -N /dev/{your-gps-device}

These instructions are for Linux (Building GPSD from source):
http://fossies.org/linux/gpsd/build.txt

Code:
scons && scons check && sudo scons udev-install

What is the correct way to install GPSd?
