Anyone out there running sailwave on a Mac successfully?

Hi Sherry,

I was hoping someone would have replied to you by now. I don't have access to a Mac at the moment only a virtual machine. But people have reported success in running Sailwave on a Mac. The easiest would be run windows on the Mac either by dual booting it or running windows in a virtual machine. Otherwise you will have to use Wine. You could see this post http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sailwave/message/11237 or you could look at running Winebottler.

One thing is not to try running builds later than 2.02 build 6 as you are likely to have more problems. I have got the newer builds running under Wine and Ubuntu but it does need some patching - See my earlier posts on this. If you need some help and there is no one else available I should be able to help you next week.

Regards

Jon

Re: [sailwave] Re: Mac Help
Jon, thank you so much or getting back to me. I tried to load your older message the search page won’t bring it up. I am running sailwave 2.02 build 6 and it seems to run fine but won’t allow me to input or change data. The dialogue box for input just have vertical hatches in it and the computer beeps at me when I try to input data. I’ve tried reloading it several times without luck. I’m running it on Crossover (Wine), with the max osx 10.6.8…

Any ideas?

Hi Sherry,

Like others I do not have a Mac or access to one. The following is

from an earlier thread about running Sailwave under Linux using
Wine, it may be of some help or give you a pointer to finding a
solution.

Kind regards,

Re: [sailwave] Re: Mac Help
Thanks Huw…tried but not such directory found. But what I think you are saying is that it is an issue with the fonts? So my question is where are the fonts in needs being stored?

If you open a terminal, does the command “cd /usr/share/wine/fonts” work?

Don’t know much about the directory structure of MacOS, but I know that it is based on FreeBSD, which has a UNIX style directory structure. If you can find /usr/share/wine/fonts, try the command “mv /usr/share/wine/fonts /usr/share/wine/fonts-old” and try Sailwave again.

Hi Colin,

I really would like to get rid of Windows XP on my Mac. Only use it for Sailwave.

Windows XP is running under Parallels Desktop and works fine except it consumes lots of memory and slow down the computer.

What I really would like to do is using Wine under Mac for Sailwave and yes it works similar to Linux. As I am a newbie on Mac I still struggle to find the “font” issue. To make it short:

Sailwave runs under Wine for Mac but you have always to make one extra click for activating the dialog box and after that you can change input. But the “old font problem” with vertical lines instead of characters still excist.

But the best solution would be a real Mac version of Sailwave :wink:

I think I have created a work-around for the Linux Wine font problem - one that is persistent through a Wine update. Previously, if Linux did an update of the Wine program, the folder /usr/share/wine/fonts is recreated with the San Serif font, which causes some of the fields in the Sailwave menu to show up at vertical bars. You have to delete that directory again. The issue is that some other Wine programs may want to use fonts from this directory, so they get screwed up.

It turns out that Wine defaults to San Serif font, from the /usr/share/wine/fonts directory if it cannot find the appropriate font in any previously searched directories.

So the trick is to give Wine what it thinks is a San Serif font from the user’s directory, instead of the system directory.

Issue this command from a terminal (you don’t have to be root)

ln -s ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/Fonts/Arial.TTF ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/Fonts/sserife.fon

This assumes you have Arial.TTF in your Wine fonts directory. If you do not, run “locate Arial.TTF” and see if you can find it on your system. It doesn’t matter which font you use, as long as it is a TTF font.

Now Wine will use this font as sserife.fon, instead of using the one from the /usr/share/wine/fonts directory. Next time you run SailWave, it should display the menu characters correctly.

If you have problems, PM me and I’ll try to help.
