So now, how can I, for example, launch Finder at a given folder? Or how do I open a give file, let's say an mp3 file, with the default Mac application, rather than a (non-existent) wine-based application for that file type? Safari) applications, or wine-based applications, as the case may be. So it looks that the above can launch either guest-os-based (e.g. path to a text file) will launch the wine-based default applications for those file types, if any. On the other hand, passing other strings (e.g. In fact, even this will still succeed in launching Safari: ShellExecute(0, nil, 'www', nil, nil, 0) I suppose that's because Safari is the default application for handling URLs. I know that's possible because for example I can launch Safari with this line: ShellExecute(0, 'open', '', nil, nil, 0) I'd like to be able to launch Finder or other MacOS applications from within my program. I dont want to blame anybody, I just asked if anyone tried Wine (or WineBottler) for Mac.īut ok, no one Mac user tried it because it could dirty his expensive toy.I'm writing a Windows program and I run it on the Mac using wine (WineBottler) Quote from: skalogryz on August 11, 2021, 01:07:35 am -Blame the macOS environment. Wine is not something they would expect to use on the expensive toy. It's not used my computer science enthusiasts, but rather a regular users. So compiling the application for Windows and make it Mac-izited by WineBottler with all the needed dependencies seems attractive.īut, anyway, this was for before, it seems to not work with the new Mac OS.

Using fpGUI or MSEgui you can mimic a Mac OS theme with very similar look. exe into a self-contained app - that is an app, that contains everything to run it.

Quote -.gives you a selection of options: install special dependencies and even turn your. Yes, Mac is still (even more) extremely Mac Only.īut the presentation of WineBottler with the feature is interesting: And since there is an extra layer of middleware, there's also an extra layer of potential bugs (and indeed an extra layer that may need adaptation when the OS changes).

Quote -Winebottler hasn't been updated since 2018‑05‑07, the current version is "Winebottler 4.0.1.1 Development" and only supports Mojave and High Sierra (I dont have a Mac and all the attempts to create a virtual Mac OS failed for me).

Maybe, knowing the restrictions of Wine for Mac and adapting a fpc-Windows program for it, it could be a easy way to run applications on the Mac? For advanced users, WineBottler gives you a selection of options: install special dependencies and even turn your. You can run the generated app like every other program on your Mac. msi and convert it into an app with WineBottler. From the WineBottler site: (WOW if it could work with last Mac os) Has anyone tried Wine (or WineBottler) for Mac?
