+GeoGorkum Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Has anyone managed to run any Wherigo builder in a Windows emulation like Wine, on Mac OSX. One could always run a version of Windows in Virtual Box or Parallels, but running it in Wine or similar uses far less resources. Thanks Quote Link to comment
+Tungstène Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 I can't answer to your question but I'd like to make sure you know about Earwigo, a web based Wherigo builder. By design, it is usable regardless of your operating system. I hope someone could answer more directly to your query. My workstation is running Linux and I understand your concerns.

+GeoGorkum Posted January 12, 2019 Author Share Posted January 12, 2019 Tnx for your response. I am an avid FreeBSD and OpenBSD user, as well as Linux. I am well aware of Wherigo\\kit and Earwigo. I am testing with the latter but seem to run into some issues defining zones on a map, with shapes other than octagonal (circle). And I'd like to use an app local to my laptop, which would make offline usage a lot easier. Quote Link to comment
+LoNe9700 Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 I got the native WherigoBuilder running on Pop!_OS 22.04. Here's how I did it: Update the default wine in the ubuntu packages to version 8.0 using this guide Update winetricks: sudo winetricks --self-update Create a new Wine environment using winetricks, using 32 bit architecture (or with the following command) WINEPREFIX="~/.local/share/wineprefixes/Wherigo-builder" WINEARCH="win32" winecfg Download the WherigoBuilder Install .NET 4.8 using winetricks (GUI or the following command) WINEPREFIX="~/.local/share/wineprefixes/Wherigo-builder" winetricks dotnet48 Finally, install the Wherigo Builder itself: WINEPREFIX="~/.local/share/wineprefixes/Wherigo-builder" wine msiexec /i ./BuilderInstall.msi So far it works well but was quite a hassle to get it to work.
