SCAR on OS X!

So yea, there has to be a first time for everything, and this time it's my first-thread-in-tutorial-section time!
So here presenting, how to install SCAR on OS X :)

What you need:

  • System running OS X (either Mac or Hac)
  • Internet connection
  • Time!
Note: I used iAtkos v7 which is basically Leopard 10.5.7 (but I updated to 10.5.8 of course)
Ok so first install XCode, it should be on your OS X installation CD or else just download it from here, (if the link doesn't work: use the Apple website, login using your Apple ID and five secs later you're at the downloads page).
If you don't know how to install something on OS X, follow these steps:

  1. Mount the disk image (double click it)
  2. A new window pops up! Doubleclick the XcodeTools.mpkg file and follow the instructions
Then, download macports from http://www.macports.org/, install it.
Open a Terminal (Finder, Applications, Utilities), do like 'sudo port install wine' and it'll start downloading >9k libs and other stuff required for Wine. Wait til its done downloading/compiling/installing. This took me around an hour or 2 at my quadcore PC, so really, get the coffee going :p
After Wine finally installed, download SCAR (3.15b works well), save it somewhere, then go to the terminal, do like wine -> scar315bsetup.exe and wait while X11 boots up at your wonderful system :)
Install SCAR.

To get SMART working:
Getting SMART working isn't too hard. First, install the WINDOWS Java version from http://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp (online installer works fine).
Then install SRL as usual, copy plugins and such.
After that, SMART should work fine! :)

Things still to do:
Well I still haven't found out how to associate .exe files with Wine, so it saves me the hassle of opening a terminal every time I want to start SCAR. But other than that, SCAR/SRL works just as it would on Windows!

And of course, a screeny for the kicks (clickme):


(Gotta admit that Quartz looks way better than any other window manager around ^-^)

wow nice tut, I tried installing wine and scar on my gf's mac laptop months ago but failed, it was a little confusing, I didn't know a lot bout macs, and knew nothing bout wine, I want to try again now, to see if I can get it to work.

But I think I remember hearing something like certain codes don't work, like ActivateClient;, is this true? or am I just remembering incorrectly or has it been fixed. Thanks for the help and amazing tut, rep+ for you :)


EDIT: Very surprised, been days and this is the first reply :p

Na, not really. Overpriced, but at least they use a UNIX-based kernel. (In combination with MACH, but w/e.)

This has nothing to do with OS X, but more with Wine and the way X handles Windows. Basically, you can't crosshair any none Wine window (so if you want to use normal RS, you need to install Windows Firefox too and such), but SMART just works fine :)

I know it doesn't have to do with mac, I was just wondering if WINE fixed it, I don't think I said it was a mac problem, but if you wanna be technical I guess you could say it's a problem with mac's since they don't support .exe files to begin with :p.

but yea, so, you are saying you can do ActivateClient then, as long as you use WINE to run windows firefox? that's good to know, I may never run another window but RS on a mac, may never even run a script, just wanted SCAR to script on the mac laptop.

EDIT: yea, I just made sure I didn't make any mistakes in my first post, and I never said it was a mac problem :p I didn't think I did say that because I already knew it had to do with WINE.

Sorry for the lame answer :duh:, i didnt knew what i was doing but i though it goth fixed when i opened openGL (setup for wine) I did a lot more of stuff what i forgot. My advice is when he search for C:windows could not find.. openGL and put scar install file in your ''what you called your mac, for me its joel'' Joël irl* Then try it again wine . scarinstallfile

I dont think this will help anyone ^^

Just follow these instructions and you'll be fine :) No Windows installation necessary at all.
