Request Mac support

Open mrmacright opened this issue 4 years ago • 7 comments

Hi. I own MrMacRight on YouTube and just discovered this software. Amazing! However, I have to Boot Into Windows 10 Boot Camp to utilise it. A native Mac build would save me a lot of time.

So it's currently kind of hard to make that work as I do not have access to a Mac right now :(

This could be made possible by doing some automatic builds integrated with GitHub, but I currently do not have the slightest idea on how to make that possible with Qt (the framework I'm using to compile the program).

The one thing Qt is good for are actually builds for Mac/Windows/Linux, but even for Windows its currently a 10 step process to create the executable with the installer which are not possible to automate from my experience.

I'll keep this issue open until I find time to make some work happen on the project and get back to you here.

Why not use Parallels or Fusion? This is how I do it and it works flawless. It's even better in my opinion because you can have multiple VM's/instances working at the same time.

Parallels and Fusion (at least from my knowledge) are macOS only, but there are of course other virtualization software like VMWare or QEMU which could make that happen.

I just searched for macOS virtual images and apparently that's easily possible, so I'll see what I can do with that.

Apologies, my comment was meant to the original post. Basically just run Windows on Mac without Bootcamp, it is very convenient and fast - specially with Parallels.

Saw OSX fork at https://github.com/LordOfTheUnicorn/trdrop seems to be Work in Progress.

Yes, I'm working with a developer to produce a native macOS version :)

So here's an open-source qt project that generates all the executables for Windows, Linux and macOs. The scripts seem to be up to date and look fairly well explained. Just putting it here so I remember to check it out when I find the time: https://github.com/nedrysoft/pingnoo
