Title: GCCG on Mac
Post by: ket_the_jet on April 10, 2010, 06:28:12 PM: So, I got a Mac. And I love it. But I'm not really computer savvy anyways, so if anyone has GCCG on Mac and wants to run me through the set up, I'd really appreciate it.

I thought so and I was hoping that I could get the step-by-step instructions from him/her. It just seems like I have to download some additional programs and so I'll get around to it eventually...I'd suspect that I'll give it the good old college try next weekend.

Post by: ket_the_jet on April 11, 2010, 01:51:37 PM: Well, as of now I am stuck on trying to download Fink and get that running. I guess it is just trying to get used to Apple's OS.

Post by: ket_the_jet on April 12, 2010, 02:59:14 PM: Likely why I was having so many problems.

Post by: Hobbiton Lad on April 12, 2010, 08:34:44 PM: I got GCCG running on 10.5.8 but the big problem is that you can't use the GCCG deckbuilder on a mac. So there's literally no way to build a deck.

Post by: ket_the_jet on April 13, 2010, 02:09:46 AM: Intriguing. I am running 10.6, so I guess I will wait for a Fink update.

How is it that the GCCG interface works but not one part of it? What happens when you open the card collection and middle-click to add to a deck?

Might be a while... do you have a legal copy of Windows for dual-boot?

Post by: TelTura on April 15, 2010, 12:09:30 PM: If you need fink, why not just install it from source? http://www.finkproject.org/download/srcdist.php .

Also, if that's not an option, you could try emulation...I hear good things about WiNE, although I haven't had to use it yet, and they have OSX build instructions... http://wiki.winehq.org/MacOSX/Installing .

Post by: Kralik on June 18, 2010, 10:29:56 AM: So I heard of this program:

http://winebottler.kronenberg.org/

That supposedly simplifies the "running Windows programs on the Mac" deal.

ket or another Mac user, want to give it a shot?

Title: Re: GCCG on Mac
Post by: Kralik on June 19, 2010, 10:08:42 PM: As far as I know. Works?
Title: Re: GCCG on Mac
Post by: ket_the_jet on June 20, 2010, 08:16:55 AM: So it runs programs that are .exe files. I was able to run another .exe program that I thought was "Windows-only" so I can confirm that the program works.

Is there a particular .exe file that I should be running?

Post by: Kralik on June 20, 2010, 08:09:50 PM: Ah, it can run .exe's? Try running Zorbec's and let me know the outcome. From there we could probably figure out what parameters GCCG needs to run from the batch file.
