Wherigo builder on Mac OSX

[+GeoGorkum]

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

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.

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.

I got the native WherigoBuilder running on Pop!_OS 22.04. Here's how I did it:

1. Update the default wine in the ubuntu packages to version 8.0 using this guide
2. Update winetricks:

   sudo winetricks --self-update

3. 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

4. Download the WherigoBuilder
5. Install .NET 4.8 using winetricks (GUI or the following command)

   WINEPREFIX="~/.local/share/wineprefixes/Wherigo-builder" winetricks dotnet48

6. 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.
